First Doctor I’ve have ever had in my life that when I complained about something stopped, looked at me and said “it’s my job to give u then longest most productive life possible “ and by the look in his eyes I knew he meant what he said. Since that day I have nothing but respect for John and his opinion! So professional and u aren’t just a # with this guy!!!
