A few of us had a short discussion about this Thursday off-list. The general
consensus was that you probably did not mean to offend anyone. I concured
with the consensus. Apology absolutely accepted. Accept my own in return. I am
aware that I screwed up. I sure wish I would read my own post before
replying-it's not like it's in front of me or anything.
Please keep in mind that there are many people on the mailing list and many
points of view on the things you write. You will probably get to read some
knock-down-drag-outs if you hang around long enough. Lord knows there have have
been 'heated arguments' over little more than semantics. There are times
when I feel like the list is like a bunch of sharks circling, waiting for the
first scent of fresh blood. You'll see what I mean eventually.
Anyway. Welcome to our little slice of heaven. And don't kill any patients
because you were to busy posting to read their charts!!!!! (Not that I'm
talking from experience....really....it's never happened.....uh...really....)

Thanks guys. So you all live near each other or talk on the phone?
That's cool. I don't mind being knocked down or draged out as you put it. It's not
like I am going to let it ruin my day. When someone says something I don't
understand I am not affraid to ask what they meant. And I do accept your
appology eventhough you have nothing to appologize for.
As for the patients; I work in orthopaedics for a new PA (fresh from
school like me) so she doesn't get too many patients yet.
And I kinda found my answer to the kethna question. I don't have the
quote in front of me but I am sure you can all figure out where it's from: It in
_Teckla_ when Vlad is speaking to Parish, or rather Parish is telling his
story. He mentions having a kethna farm and that he has to feed them corn. So I
think they are more on the poultry side.
Thanks again for all of you understanding!

P.S. What does the "OD" stand for?
