I'm not sure how I feel about an one time addict having the ability to prescribe drugs.

PRESIDENTS:
"One man with courage makes a majority" He was born in 1767 and died in 1845. He used the veto more often then the previous six presidents. His followers created the modern Democratic party. He was nicknamed "Old Hickory" because of his toughness and aggressive personality that produced numerous duels, some fatal. He was a rich slave owner who appealed to the masses of Americans and fought against what he denounced as a closed undemocratic aristocracy. If you know the number seven then you can answer, which president am I?

For those that don't know how to read Google profiles I have put what I really mean in ( ). Hot (Good looking enough to be in movies(if I buy at ticket). A body like a God (Buddha). Romantic (Thinks begging is foreplay.) Physically fit (Heart trouble. Put 911 on speed dial before we get initmate.) Good Provider (has good life insurance in case you forget to put 911 on speed dial.) Loyal (has reference letters from Mom and parole officer.) Intelligent (scored 1600 on his SATS but you have to total the scores of the four times that I took the test.) Looking for someone compatible (Be between 30 & 99 and not inflatable.)

Great stories, Bill, as usual. Kudos to the mom talking to the intruder, until help arrived. Seems to me this isn't the first time a cell or regular phone has kept someone safe with 911, until help arrives.
Loved the story about the realtor. As they say, living well is the best revenge (g). Sounds like she's got it down to a science.
I have no issue with a one-time addict prescribing drugs. In fact, I think it's an advantage, in some ways/cases. Too many doctors are too willing to prescribe drugs for just about any complaint. The number of people addicted to prescription drugs today is off the charts. While this woman's addiction was to street drugs, she has two things going for her, in terms of dealing with patients. One, the ability to identify those who may be on street drugs, knowing all the signs and signals. Two, personal knowledge of how drug abuse of any kind traps an individual and can escalate. In addition, her consultations and such aren't coming out of a text book, but from real experience she can relate to the patient and real empathize with what that patient may be facing and how it can be dealt with. The best counselors, even administrators, we had in State of AK drug abuse division were almost all recovering alcoholics, who had been "dry" for eight or ten years or so. They'd been there, done that, they knew what clients were going through and the admin folks knew what kind of effective help was needed, to be funded and provided. Himself is the adult child of alcoholics and spent several years consulting with the state agency and served on the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Council, so we had friends who were recovering alcoholics. Then, too, I did the book for the doctor who defends methadone clinics and learned a whole lot from that project.
Hi DR
I'm not sure I would think of even having a cell phone if I was being robbed.
The realtor is definitely living well snd left a lot of people in the dust.
Your take on the doctor is informative and interesting. I especially like the statementin her consultations that her advice isn't coming out of textbooks but experience. Interesting background for Himself, he is so grounded now, he really has overcome a lot.
Bill
