I am woefully behind in MS goings on! Much applause for everyone on this site!!! I mean that too. There is so much to learn here, I scarcely know where to start.

I USED to be a go-to-guy for folks and could talk face to face with medical personnel. After coming here, I now know why the requests for my time and input have been dropping off.

I don't think I'm depressed or anything; I just thought I'd admit my shortcomings and pass along an observation. Thank one and all for all of this input. You can bet I shall be reading with much interest.

I'm not in the medical profession, but just about everyone in my family is except for me and my sister.

We've had 5 (or 6?) nurses...one paramedic, one x-ray tech, The paramedic is going to school to be a respritory therapist and two of the nurses are/were also anesthetists. (my dad and my late uncle) My cousin is a nurse right now and she's going to anesthesia school to become an anesthetist like her dad was. (last I heard, I think) The paramedic has talked about becoming a nurse with a goal of becoming an anesthetist, but I'm not sure if he's done that. (havent talked to him for at least a year)
