Sorry dear...there was no issue to start with...
Seems you are trying to argue with my comment to you...I was just
trying to clarify something you "again" misunderstood or I guess you
are just trying to argue again...You really have a problem dear.
That makes it almost 20 years now...that's a long time.
30 hours a year doesn't mean "jack" now-a-days.  I'll toss what you
tossed at me...so what...that still doesn't give you the authority to
practice medicine.  You do not have that privilege and besides that
you still aren't an M.D....just a wantabe...
Wow...isn't the internet the most interesting thing you have ever
seen...either way doesn't make you an "expert" so stop trying to be
one.
Is this more information you have received on the internet?  Put down
that P.D.R. and other things you have and "STOP" trying to be a
doctor.
Stop saying people who have or anyone else in their family has ADD or
ADHD is caused from Chemical dependencies.  How dare you insult us
this way you sick little woman.
If I were to research this my dear I sure wouldn't do it at a city
college....give me a break...okay
