LeannaB's Journal

Well, it seems my father's little Annie Oakley did it again!   I received a letter from the doc I was having the problems with, and he has fired me!   I guess he did not like my mouthiness when I can in with printouts of research from Mayo Clinic, Harvard, and UCLA disagreeing with his guessing games!   I cannot figure out why---Maybe he allowed his ego to be involved,

I think the title to my auto-bio should be something from the philosophy of Vicco about cyclical spiral cycles of self-repeating history.

Years ago a med student invited me for a drive up to MtHood during the winter months.  I, of course, inquired as to whether he had snow chains, of which he responded in the affirmative.  The problem was, as I soon discovered when the snow began falling, that he did not know how to put the chairs on,   Heck, I thought, "No Problem..Let's puil over to the side of the road, unlatch the trunk, and I will put the chains on...It will be fun, and I am glad to help type scemaria......He would not have it----the idea of someone possibly he knew driving by and seeing him sitting in his nice warm car while a young woman was out in the snow putting on his snow chairs!!!   YOu know.   Instead he wanted to apply all that advanved genetic engineering (he was to be 3 rd generation doc), and just slip and slid down the hill, endangering me and everyone else on the road.   I said, "Phooey," and got out and hitch-hiked home with someone who had chains on their vehicle.  I heard later from his mother that he slid into a ravine, and had to wait for tow trucks to pull him out.....

Now this doc is also going to sit and wait to be assisted by others, as he does not have the genteel quality to apologize to me and admit he has done wrong.   ....

My father always fretted that I was too strong and too independent that I would scare off every decsent man for parts around.  I always told him not to worry none cause if they were so easily scared off, I didn't want 'em.....Sure do not want this doc, but unfortuantely finding a new one, and getting all the referrals, etc. again, is going to be time consuming and stressful....Darn, I was looking forward to having Morgaine teach me to crotchet!!!
