I'm just like a lot of people here... where the hell did Doc go.... well we know now. I've been around these forums for a long time and the good Doc has always been around. I watched my dad go through 2 quadruple bypasses in 4 years... it's not a pretty site.... seeing them in the CCU with a respirator and a great big bandage from the throat all the way to bottom of the rib cage... I always wondered if I could go through what they just had endured...hopefully I'll never have to find out... I will say this, that each time a month after he was out of the hospital, he was much better than he had been prior to the surgeries. The good Doc is still around for us to talk to...... I wish I could say the same about my parents. Doc....Get well soon and take care of yourself... Ed
