Great physician. Just have a true reservation at the moment which may be totally unfounded... This one event has no bearing for now. I really like this man. Most is just personal because I disagree on a couple of things. Which might mean simply a preference. I have always scored a 10.

He was rushing to get out like there was a fire he had to get to or something. Don’t explain anything to ya. Won’t be back to see him again.
