European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - October 29, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Ann Landers thursday october 29, 1987 the stars and stripes Page 11 letters dear Ann Landers As a physician i encourage doctor patient comm a Falion by presenting my patients wit the following Lis of questions Tonsic me 1. What is wrong. Doctor 2. What caused ii 3. What should be done about it 4. What will ii Cost 5. How Long will ii Lake 6. What tests should be done 7. Why 6. Can i Lalk to you on the phone about in 9, whal will you do Ocul id. Sit necessary 11. Do i the patient have alternatives 12. Ii it dangerous 13. Another thing i would like to know is 14. Do you patient have any question such As.? i believe that if All patients were Given the Opportunity to ask these questions there would be fewer Law suits and belter relationships Between patients and Docton. In 30 Yean of practice i think my patients have been Given the answers to these question. We always callback after tests Are done and explain what the findings were. This gives me an Opportunity to Tell them where we to from there and when they Are to be seen again. Doctors who talk to their patients and let the know Why something is or in t being done will have it much More positive relationship with them. Or. D.t., family practice. Seattle dear doctor ii a Good of Yon id share nor list of questions with us. They Are excellent. I Hope the thousands of phys stun out there who Rod my column will follow your example.  Between Docton Tat a enl so terribly important and from what i read and hear there ii great Deal of room for improvement dear Ann Landers i have a new problem Tor you. It is computer sex or comp sex As some Call it. As i understand it comp sex is when two consent ing adult describe to each other what they d do if they had sex together. They do this by Means of a compute er1 Modem and frequently with the Aid of an information service this strikes me As Kinky. Is this behaviour characteristic of person who does t have his her act together the second question is Why would anyone want this kind of involvement with a total stranger i la sign myself Modem blues in Ohio dear Ohio i ant a Square from Iowa who Doaa l have the lag a at notion of what compose is til about i turned to my i Tiff of up Young women for enlightenment. They a tent know diner but they found out. A compiler Modem is a Telephone Hookup that enables one computer to talk to another.

Form Motorist critical of cafes parts service this idler concerns cafes which claims Loi be the fourth largest retailer in the world and Why in can t seem to Stock the right kinds of things in its stores. I overlooked the problem two years ago when 1 needed a new taillight for my 1984 Plymouth voyager. 1 figured there was no Way they could Stock la alights for All of the various types of american automobiles warehouse requirements would just be Loo much. I became suspicious however when cafes ordered the taillight and in took seven weeks to get Here from the Stales and Cost me $70 because i found out later my Mother could have gotten it Here a lot cheaper and quicker through the mail. I was mildly surprised when cafes told me i needed new Shock absorbers for the same car last sum Mer and once again did t have the parts in Slock bul would be More than Happy to order them if i did t mind waiting the six to eight weeks required for ship ment. Whal raised my eyebrows was the fact Hal each Shock absorber was going to Cost me j75 i.e., $300 for the my. This Lime i contacted Good Olmom and to and be hold she sen me a very Fine set of Monroe Gas Shock for a Mere $165 for the set. Cafes not be outdone however charged me another $ 1 in to put Ihorn on and align the front end. The Shock absorber episode was tolerable though compared to what happened recent  took the very same Carlo the cafes garage Al Rhein main to have the brakes checked. This Lime i was told the front brakes were badly worn and needed to be replaced. However you guessed i they did thave the Brake pads in Slock although the attendant was t sure because the Book he was using to deter mine if they were in the system was dated february 1987. In any Case lie tracked Down the required Brake pad for my Type car Al a German Mechanic s shop. One might ask Why a German Mechanic working out of his Back Yard would have parts for american cars and the fourth largest retailer does to this Lime i did t have the luxury to wait for mom to mail me car part because of the extent of Brake Wear so my choices were leave my car parked for a couple weeks or buy them from the germans. Vou say so what s the big Deal Well the big Deal is the germans charged me 205 Marks or about j110 for something that should t Cost More than Sis if cafes really cared about keep ing customers Why can t cafes Slock Wear items like Brake just the same Way they Stock spark plugs or ignition Points it s not As though my car is rare or an antique it is one of the most popular Selling cars in the United Stales and has been on the Rood Tor four years. Capt Stern p. Reynolds Frankfurt editor s note col. Donald e. Clibert Rice com Mander it cafes europ replies the Shock absorbers for your car special ordered from the state through the rapids system should Cost you �37 each for the front and $20 each for rear. Complete set of Brake shoes and pads for front and rear would Bate Cost a maximum of Sio. Our Normal Dell Rry time is approximately 14 working Days for this Type of part although with the recent change to direct Apo milling to the stores we often get la puts even quicker. I d like to Tell Yon about a test we began in november 1986 at the puerto Mannheim and Wiesbaden Aulo parts starts to determine if we could Imp rare service and Speed up Dell err of Auto parts to our customers. This Teil conducted with the . Deco company just concluded and Maery successful lib of we of . Delco part need computer we had direct Dat Allne link to . Delco warehouses in the United states for ordering of parts Access to the full line of . Delco Antenna reel parts and Cross reference information for own Schutt part nmn Ben. In addition the system a in is order status inquiry capability. Immediate Itabac bitty information and blocking of part number to ensure Dellery. Immediate accurate Price information and individual or Stock order a Paciutt Are also advantageous features. We Are currently studying the feasibility of expanding this system throng Hont Europe. Auth Cwon Stock no Utor Wear items for Chr repair of american mad vehicles Only about 27 percent of the nearly 200,000 Usa eur Reg Island Reticle Are american made. The assortment of these repair parts is reviewed Comra Nuy or technicians Here at head Quarter based upon the needs of repair shops and i updated by our purchasing directorate accordingly. I might also be interesting to note Bat Many limn manufacturers change these parts from Model year to Model year. Incidentally cafes does t claim to be the fourth largest retailer. It is a fact Hal we did rank 1 lib in 1986, and us ins based on cafes ss.2 billion in sales and compared a Tab the likes of Sears k Mart . Penney s and Wal Mart ranked 1-4 respectively. Local hire teachers seek full benefits legislation has been introduced by rep. William Ford d-mich., which if passed would Grant certain locally hired Dodds teachers full benefits. There  those of us Dod civilians who Are for All practical purposes in the same boat in Hal we were also hired locally from Louril status without receiving the benefits package awarded stateside hires. Granting full benefits to Long Lent personnel Over three years service who have proved their value As employees can be justified not Only As a redress of the second class citizen inequality but also to ensure retention of capable people. Surely there Are those who have found a working environment where Grade seniority and Merit play no role in the extreme discrepancies in compensation Tor work performed so frustrating that they have sought employment elsewhere. I encourage All Dod civilian employees in this category to a Etc to appropriate  in con Gress who might be prevailed upon to introduce a Simi Lar Bill on our behalf. .
