Susan,
Thanks--I was not aware of that fact. However, you raised an interesting
point. Do you agree that many doctors would prefer to perform an
angioplasty procedure on a patient than the procedure discussed in "The
Calcium Bomb" due to the money involved? I continue to believe that some
people become doctors because of the income that doctors make. I doubt
that we would have very many doctors if the average yearly income was
$7O,000 per year.
