NWMNMT:Good grief, good grief, good grief..If this is the case, the doctor should also explain
Subject: NWMNMT:Good grief, good grief, good grief..If this is the case, the doctor should also explain

the meaning in an ADDENDUM.
How do you know what the doctor meant? GOOD GRIEF, are you the know-it-all (hyphens must be put here, as it is used as a noun!) on this board? Get over yourself!

Who understands what it means without an explanation?
The MOST obvious is apparently like I understood it:
5 packs in 1 year.

Maybe the doctor really meant this, 5 packs per year, so essentially a nonsmoker.

GOOD GRIEF, get over yourself!

they should care
Subject: they should care

well, who should care?  The MT him or herself.  This can be a crutch IMO.  And, no, my opinion doesn't amount to a pile o' beans in the grand scheme of things.  Maybe my post should have been more helpful, than critical, and should have asked posters if they know how to search.  I've gotten really good at it and can find just about anything really.  For instance, someone just recently posted ligament of Treitz question.  All I did was google, ligament of *.  Bingo! 


Anyway, to the person who said I should just use the back button, pfft.
