[Leica] Repair job... on ME

[Mark Rabiner]

I also never see a doc without goggling my disease of the month first so she
knows I have something resembling an informed opinion that I think I have.
Sometimes I really do. Sometimes I think I do but I'm way off. I never claim
to think I really know what's wrong with me. Just a guess she can laugh at.

What I want is a huge book that I can barely lift which a few companies make
which has everything you'd ever want to know in it on what could go wrong
with you and why and which pill to take to make it go away.
I'm having such a tough time getting my heath insurance squared away with
"new York state of health" that I might be healing myself if I like it or
not.
