I was curious about RD’s other question...
“Were you in the medical field at one point in time, or still currently involved”
I used to read studies in the libraries of the universities I attended. Prior to getting access to actual published journals, I read what I could get from Prevention, The Bottom Line, Reader's Digest, Men's Health, various women's magazines you still see in line at Walmart, newspapers, etc. and listened to doctors on radio and TV, including Dr. Dean Edell and others.
Favorite shows of mine as a child included Emergency! and Quincy, among others.
