Well, I say 'good idea'...... Let's just hope we have font small enuf to fit all this onto the card....

Thank you for that link. The letter from the doctor's perspective is the perfect way to 'step into the other's shoes'.
Why can't all doctors be so candid and humble at the same time.
I especially like the remark he made regarding how we have long forgotten what 'normal' feels like. Boy ain't that the truth!
