I'm disappointed that every g.d. item is being turned into
bashing of doctors and the medical
profession. I thought we were going to discuss/share
experiences relating to disk problems?
And what god or the freakin' marine division has to do with
anything beats me.....

It's beginning to look like this board is crowded by
red-neck-right-wing-gun-toting-religious-zelots...
is there someone here that didn't vote for Ronald F.....ng
Reagan?????

PS: And to those who want to discuss the issue of BACK
PROBLEMS/DISK PROBLEMS, please send me a private e-mail and
I'll share my story. :-)
