Are you or have you ever been a healthcare professional of some sort?

Mike

Either he is good (and fast) at researching issues and compiling
replies or he is connected to healthcare in some capacity or both.

Mike

It is interesting that you see that, Mike. When I first saw your
message I figured this was the reason you were asking and since I did
not feel the same I went back about two weeks and read or re-read his
posts to see if I gleaned that from his messages.
I did not.
Anybody else care to comment on this?



huh...don't you notice the gaps in his answers? I think he was in
combat at the tail end of
Vietnam, because he mentioned something about a POW camp. He may have
been a medic for a while...but, he had to be quite young, if he id
serve in Vietnam, because my arithmetic puts his ae at 53.\

My guess? He just does a lot of research because this group provides
a bit of a challenge. A lot of people have learned a lot here. He
also said that he 'really researched' his illness-during the time he
was looking for a pain doctor. He also claims to have helped a lot
of people here-that could be true, because he did accept a small
circle of 'acquaintances' (see? I didn't say 'friends' Wolfie.). But
his main job, after leaving the service, was with a recycling
company. He may have quit-a while back, Juba and I, in a rare
alliance, said we were going to get him fired. When we started to (on
my side) pretend to keep logs of when he posted during working hours,
he went ballistic, posted one of the ugliest posts ever seen
here...and left for about three months.

I kind of feel bad about it-but it allowed me to rethink,my position,
and not have to justify everything I said here-he'd even challenging
that-no one 'speaks' here. I still have the page with the awful stuff
on it-Juba didn't keep it up for long, and I wanted to have a record
of it.

I'm not justifying myself-it as a pretty nasty thing to do. But, in
the end, it worked out OK for me, and he seems to have regained his
old stamina. I could use the reason used by children-of all ages -"He
started it". (Well, he did.) But, I don't think he has that much
formal medical training-I could be wrong, but there just wasn't that
much combat time, during his career. His big thing, in making a living
after the service, was in recycling-and, he did ry to recycle himself,
I guess-coming back under a new name. I find it's usually best to
ignore him-that's me he gets along with some people. But, no one
needed to have worried about Lori. I told her privately, who he was-
and, she remembered his original nym, and remembered him.

So, I write a novel, when I could have given a yes or no answer. oh,
well...won't have to discuss him for a while, I guess.
