Dr. Latov:

I can't swear to it but I think that's the guy that Alan's new PN Specialist trained under.

Interesting, no?

Thanks for the information.

Now that we're getting into pathogens, and antigens, and cytomegalovirus, etc. I'm trying to picture Alan's face when I show him this posting.

He'll probably give me a look and say "thank god you're coming with me tomorrow to see Dr. Fred"

I postponed my visit to the orthopedic surgeon for my shoulder problem.

I don't want to leave Alan alone while he walks into the lions den. (Arterial Duplexes, blood tests, etc.) I told him I would write a note to Dr. Fred, asking about specific testing for GBS variants.

Alan looked at me and said "what am I, in the third grade, I'm bringing notes to doctors now?" Come with me tomorrow and I'll go with you to your appointment with the ortho surgeon."

So it's a good trade.

Let's get to the bottom of this PN. Wouldn't it be great if we ever really found out after all these years???
