I don't want to be an unfeeling doctor who can't know what his patient is going through, so I basically would like to get a feel for how women deal with it and feel about it, as well as offer any support or information I can.<br><br>I hope that didn't come off as pompous, because it is with the best intentions.<br><br>Mike ]]></description>
