LOL, for certain, have always appreciated them, always smile at them all, Drs too. They really do work bloody hard. As a kid i spent plenty of time in hospital for asthma early then accidents of life later. Always felt hey, you are here, enjoy it. Showing appreciation helps to enjoy. Not as much in hospital as you and others here in adult life, still some. LOL yesterday when the dr in charge called a member of the research trial team down to interview me he said, "I have a very charming gentlemen here..." Sheesh, i thought that's a bit much, was only being my own easy and appreciative curiously involved self.
When they first asked if i would be interested in being involved in a trial, i said, "Sure would. Anything i can do to contribute to new research i'm more than happy to be involved in." I meant it too.
