I find it a little unsettling that complete strangers would ask complete strangers, who have NO connection to them what-so-ever, questions regarding their health care. Having said that…my first two initials are D.R. so, since I have received some mail through the United States Postal Service giving me the title of Dr. Oggs..well of course I am a doctor that cares for your safety.
Good luck
