I cannot begin to state how relieved I was to hear that these men have my future and the future of every woman I know firmly under their control. What imbecile would ever think that I, a Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner with over 30 years experience could possibly know more about my health concerns than the boys in Frankfort? Will they be performing my exams personally or will they be content to kick open the office door and leer over my MD’s shoulder? My husband may need a hip replacement. Will Ken be performing the surgery or should I call my BMW mechanic? I’ve noticed he really knows his way around a ball joint.
