Gail,

I have some uplifting input.. But before you get excited... no I have
not found a physician to join our discussions or at the crohn's support
group (sorry).

I worked for 6 internists (physician clinic) very early in my career.
They have no time during the day... 20 min max for lunch. Hospital
Rounds in the early a.m. and then again in the evening....so minimum of
12-14 hour days. Always on call. Very stresseful job
(... their's, not mine).

Maybe a retired physician???

Later,
Sue
