Going way OT here...

It amazes me, reading PV's post, how people are their own best doctors. His
intuition and insight never lied to him. I'm surprised how patient he's been
with all of the doctors. This is another reason I oppose "institutions." I
feel a lot of what they breed are "institutionalized;" hence, sterile and
devoid of creativity, free thinking, and "out of the box" theories. It
reminds of Aldous Huxley's Brave_new_world.
