What surprises me that in light of the new Health Information Privacy and 
Protection Act, (HIPPA)
that this even got out to us. I hope the widow sues the pants off the agency 
that released it. It's none of our business. 

Just goes to show you.... I can't even get a radiology report that my doctor 
wrote a prescription for without jumping through hoops... but then I'm not 
famous(...yet....)


Obligatory food content: Made a lovely Lamb curry (with purple topped turnips 
and onions) for dinner tonight. Discovered that my Indian food techniques are 
growing...Alleviates the boredom of no rice, pasta, or potatoes....
