I taped it!  I taped it!  (I wanted to see just how bad Patsy's acting was...
I had no idea....words cannot express it..except maybe "the horror...the horror..
*gasp*")

     I'm sorry Big B.  (taking a deep breath)  I thought Ickabella outshone
CC big time.  While Icky came across well as an extremely nervous patient, 
Carly came across as someone who really didn't care about her patient (and
who really didn't know what she was doing).  I'm sorry, really I am...but
that's the way I saw it.  Not that I liked either of the performances, but
I thought Spaci did better than Crystal, who gave her usual shallow, one-
dimensional performance.  Hey, at least they didn't do the tests in the new
Wonder-Van!

I thought Spaci came across well as someone who was very frightened
and nervous.  I don't know about the rest of you, but doctors tend
to intimidate me.  And whenever I go to the doctor for some unidentifiable
something, I worry maybe it might be something big.  Like when I was in
high school I started having severe back pains, it hurt to stand, to
sit, to walk, to breathe.  My regular doctor said it was growing pains.
Later that year I had to have a chest x-ray cause they thought I might
have pneumonia, and we went to a doctor who was closer to home.  After
looking at the x-rays and pronouncing my lungs clear, he told me he wanted
to do some more x-rays cause he saw something on the previous series
he wanted to check out.  I was petrified!  I mean, x-rays are expensive
and he wanted front and back ones.  I figured it had to do with my back pains
and was so scared it'd be some horrible disease.  Luckily it was just
arthritis (yeah, 'just' arthritis...beats some of the stuff I imagined!)
Anyhow, Icky didn't come across to me as stupid, just scared to death.
She thought there could be something really wrong with her, and Carly
kept looking constipated and not telling her anything, and she was
working herself into a panic.  At least, that's how I saw it...

Mine too!
