Mariner, I hope you’re wrong about the first part re. the dough.
As for the second comments, sorry you lost your dad. Lost mine in 1977 at age 59 after the IRS made his life miserable over a minor estate matter. But that’s another story.
Just lost a beloved 61 year old brother-in-law to pancreatic cancer. Not a nice way to go but I can’t come up with too many good ones.
And, while I may have been lucky here in Atlanta, I suspect the main reason some VA facilities provide better care than others has to do with their proximity to high quality TEACHING hospitals. Nearly ALL the specialists here come from Emory, much in the news lately re. ebola!
Be well and safe as we slide further down obozo’s drain.

Concur. Experience allows me to state that.
