Hi Dee

yes the Barrow people were very disappointing to say the least, although I
never did meet Dr. Shill.  It's probably all for the best though.  The
people at AZ Medical Clinic surprised me by being very friendly and
accommodating.  When I commented on it to them, one gal said that the 
people
at Barrow are "tight-assed, rude and snobbish."  AZ Medical Clinic is only 
7
miles from home and I can drive it.  Proximity to home is really important
and if I have to have brain surgery again I suppose I could always go to 
the
Barrow.  Their PD survey data base left much to be desired.
