I am a pretty good judge at what I do to help people, but also the way my posts come across -- e.g. sometimes not as nice as I would like. There are many on the board that are extremely nice, but sometimes throw in a few biting sarcastic remarks -- meant to be funny and are, but with my sensitivity genes and passive-aggressive genes which have been found to be the highest level in the human genome, I sometimes take them the wrong way.
So, as not to leave anyone out, I do have to give credit to jimmie and Wendell who I have yet to read a demeaning post originating from them. I reference then and not the many others simply because they are posting right above.
To those who missed it during my down time on the board, Wendell, in an attempt to help me, offered to help take call. It took me a while to realize what is the difference between call coverage five miles down the road and in Chicago. Not only that, it had the distinct advantage of keeping patients from transferring when they liked his style better than mine. I am sure I thanked him, but if I did not then, I certainly do now. I would have taken him up on it, but my IT person was adamant about allowing a fellow pediatrician with an iPhone to take calls. LOL. J/K.
I have to marvel when I read a post by jimmie at how sincerely nice it is.
