  Still recovering, both from my wife dying in March and COVID (mitral valve damage, despite being fully vaccinated and boosted). Just got an emergency surgical referral today for my AAA. Entertainingly, doctor left voice-mail without identifying himself or the urgency of the referral and I was unable to get through to the office. Thankfully, the online chart software displayed an alert on login that a shiny new referral was added. No specialist practice named... Patient, become a detective! 😉 Yeah, I'm going to embarrass the resident on the next visit. Can't wait until he notices the new moderate mitral valve reflux... Maybe it's time to get on the list for a full body transplant.

  It sounds like you could write a whiz-bang paper on how to avoid imposter syndrome! Best wishes on having an uneventful new segment in your career.

  Before you got to the house fire and had described his inane objections, I had a somewhat similar example. He'd stick around inside of the burning house, as houses burn all the time, while on hold getting a better rate on his car insurance. I'd evacuate everyone if it's not something I can knock back in 10 seconds and call 911 from outside. Then, move the car and call the insurance company for a better rate. As for obscenities and ad hominem attacks, I liken that behavior with that of an ill mannered 5 year old and I do believe in occasional corporal punishment and am not beyond doing that to an adult. But, when such people volunteer others to die, I simply ask why they don't behave like a leader and go first.

Ah, but isn't that the confounder of things epigenetic? Is it heritable genetically, or is it taught to the young and the observed changes simply mirrored by what was learned?
