TheBanyanTree: My hate affair with forms: the acid test

[Jim Miller]

Second try. Hope it doesn't bounce this time.

Peter,

You've whetted my appetite for the next form. I've recently begun a circuit
of public engagements and can't wait for the next one. Bring on the forms.

Also, you inspired me in another area; over the last 13 years, I've
completed endless forms for medical institutions and the stream of
specialist I've been introduced to. I've always hated forms. Now even more,
as the immune suppression meds and steroids I take cause my handwriting to
be illegible; even to me on occasion.

My final rant; all of my records are in the system, accessible to every
service provider (I suspect worldwide). Prior to any new visit, my
transplant team coordinator forwards a full file of my entire medical
history, and STILL, the idiot receptionist says, "I need you to fill out
this form first". GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

Thanks for a big smile.

Jim Miller
