I cave. You are beyond me on this one. But you brought back a recent
memory which was, at the time, fairly traumatic.
At one time I participated in almost exactly the dialog above, taking
the part of GLM. "Dr. D." was another name, a person I literally did not
know, had never heard of, had never seen.
What I knew about "Dr. D." was that he was being recommended by a cardiac
man I did know and had some confidence in.
That was in June of 1995 and I'm still alive.
So the conversation does not seem all that problematical.
