Hey Doc, as if I should call you that? Why in Gods name would you make a comment like that? I can only imagine you are old and tired of your profession. I have been fighting this disorder(AA) for nearly two years now and I am thankful that I have survived this long. No longer working but still stay active. Last summer I was able to ride bike for 60 miles,I continue to make progress to this day. True there is no known cure for this disorder but half the battle against it is HOPE!! May you never or any of your family ever fall ill with such a rotten illness. There are people who have survived and are going on with life. There are Doctors who have come up with certain ways to battle this disorder, thank God for them. AA is so rare that maybe you do not know to much about it. Maybe you should research it more. As for your comment on it,you`ve only made me want to drive on more. Perhaps thats why you made those remarks. Well doc? , thank-you for giving me another reason to survive to prove you wrong. See I have other reasons too. Married to a wonderful woman which I have two precious little girls with. Thanks again doc, and I use the term very loosely. Take care and God bless. Fred L Fal Jr
