Dear Little Turtle, your warm words overestimate me. I was a professional, of a sort, before depression and anxiety strangled me. What I know of medicine comes from ... dissatisfactions I have had being a patient.

That is one reason I hang on to your words. You know the medical profession from all sides. You have a lifetime of impressions, and the relative few you can share here are exceptionally valuable.
