Personally, I think it's great that Regina wrote her opinions of the doctors; the more information we have, the better we are. And I particularly appreciate her expertise in the medical field. Each of us has to make very personal decisions all the time. It's important to know that this message board is there for all of us to air our opinions, complaints, difficulties, etc. And even debates. Just one thing, though. Regina, you are not the only professional person on this board. We're not all medical students, but we have the ability to understand information. It is not necessary for you to make your posts "simpler" for the rest of us. That was a bit unnecessary.
