One more thing we've learned

Hi everyone:

Here's another thing we've learned...apparently, nobody on earth is supposed to try to reach a cardiologist outside of working hours, for any reason. Twice in the past couple of days, Patty has needed to address an urgent issue, only to be told by a nurse (in the first instance) and by an answering service (in the second) that her concern did not merit paging a cardiologist. What puzzles us is that the cardiologists themselves don't seem to feel this way; it's their handlers that apparently see them as rock stars.

Love,
Brian
