Hi folks,
I'd like to back up all the good things said so far - saves me an awful lot of thinking & writing and I don't know the laws in your country - come to think of it I don't know the ones in Australia.....I do know the docs close ranks.

I would like to add tho that definitively some cardiac patients subject to any procedures sometimes thoracically ranging from the simple to the comlex can end up with CRPS so that in itself is additionally troublesome given the power of his position.....and the power of his position. (Please guys correct if you think I'm wrong).

This would imply that he would stomp on anyone under him who put this forward at faculty management meetings??????

You guys are right on the money as a collective & that is our strength.

Sandra YOU aren't the crazy one.

The last vestage is your head - you have a good one....don't let an idiot like this one in.

I am so glad you are OK. This "mental" or "in the mind" question does "us" ALL a lot of harm - whether we hear one of our own has worn it or experience it first hand (I have also had this said in writing) and was none too happy......I know I'm not alone.....but we need to share these experiences where we know we will get this wonderful level of support.

It is a shame the .22 possum humane remedy can't be employed but it is possible that he can help heart patients so long as they don't get CRPS + LOL

Hugs & a gentle & peaceful day without the "P" word.
