Bringing it all together
Tomorrow I'll present a case that will utilize many of the issues discussed in recent threads....this will include not just medical issues but others as well.
Something to ponder until I upload the pics and story tomorrow (around 10 am EST).....
stay tuned for an act of bravery, self preservation and guts.
I'm sure the QP's will offer other words as well.
