Re: '96 GC Air Conditioner Woes
I would rather say that it's the Doctors that are not that smart,
judging by the doctors at Tri City Hospital, Oceanside, Kalifornia, that
were assigned to my Mother. All they were interested in was doing more
and more tests trying to justify a feeding tube. There were two nurses,
that wanted to help out of hundreds of burnt out zombies
