Ann Landers dear Reader shave you changed your physician in the past five years or Are you thinking of changing if you have changed or if you Are considering it what Are the reasons these questions were asked in a Survey of residents near the Urcla Campus an area considered a a upscale in terms of education occupation and economic status t i it eighty five percent of those who responded said they had either changed physicians in the last five years or were giving it serious consideration. The questionnaire revealed that the doctors competence was not a Factor. What troubled the respondents was a Lack of sensitivity to their needs and an inability to communicate. Here Are some typical responses that surfaced in the Survey a i left the doctors office feeling worse than when i came in and that a not what i went in there i waited about two hours for my turn and no sooner did i get into the doctors office than he became involved in a Long personal Telephone a i done to think the doctor understood what i was saying. He ordered a Long series of tests even before 1 finished telling him my a the doctor lit a cigarette when he started to talk to me. I decided that anyone who had so Little regard for his own health should not be entrusted with a my doctor had gained a lot of weight since our last meeting and looked quite fat. I had trouble taking him a when my doctor told me what my problem was he was so cold and indifferent i had the feeling that he did t care whether i got Well or _ a my doctor sent me the bad news by registered mail. Maybe he wanted to make it easier on himself but he certainly lost me As a _ a the prescription he gave me had some terrible Side effects and i had been Given no warning what you have just read is excerpted from one of the Best books in be run across in a Long time. The underlying theme is that what goes on in your head can have tremendous Impact on what happens to your body. I have been a Strong believer in this concept for a Long time and it has worked for me.

Done to suggest counselling. He a a psychologist who specializes in marital problems. He a in Good health and very cheerful. Any suggestions pm dear it could be the seven year itch. Or he might just be slowing Down. Done to be accusatory. Keep the lines of communication open. And turn on the heat. People yearning to be free to make their own collective decisions to Chart their own futures. But they Are stuck under a powerful authoritarian and unrepresentative on their own they Are outclassed by the strength and organization of their oppressor. There May not be a peaceful Resolution in fact a Call to arms May be the Only Hope. Are they on their own or is there help from others who stalking about Lithuania the foregoing is american history circa the mid-1700s. The lesson goes on with the colonists arming themselves declaring themselves free fighting for their Freedom and ultimately going on to become America As it is known today. We often forget however that we did no to go it alone. We received financial assistance from France the Netherlands and Spain. The French even assisted the americans in fighting to include the decisive Battle of Yorktown. Could we have prevailed without such 1 have been watching a lot of shows on to and Reading in the papers about birth parents and birth children finding each other. I am not going to Tell you what to do in this letter but i would like to give some advice. First this is a situation where somebody is going to get Hurt. You cannot avoid it. The birth child birth parents or the people everyone seems to forget about the adoptive parents. This is a no win situation and the Hurt can be very painful. Second the birth Parent who searches out his or her birth child must always remember that child May not want the Parent in his life. And the child has the right to feel this Way. No matter what the reason was for the adoption just because you showed up 20 or 30 years later does not mean that child has to wrap his her arms around you and Call you Mommy. Third birth child you who want to search out your birth Parent Are going to have the most Hurt. Not Only solution offered for although i intend to be facetious i have a solution to the nations economic woes and Trade deficit imbalance. The United states should declare War on Germany and Japan and let them defeat us without any bloodshed or property damage. Politically Man Euver the victors to pay for our National defense and their occupying armies will guard our Borders and fight against drug trafficking. In the meantime we can save billions in defense spending and redirect that Money into much neglected help wed like to believe a yes a but How when and at what greater costs arc unknown. Now lets talk Lithuania step one reread the first paragraph. Step two remember that Lithuania was simply annexed by the soviet Union. Thus where the United states docs not allow the states to secede once statehood has been chosen there is no parallel to Lithuania. Step three ask whether a a a France will emerge in 1990 to stand up for Lithuania. The soviet Union which has been going through tumultuous changes and its Leader Mikhail Gorbachev who thus far has weathered major obstacles arc faced with not a problem but an Opportunity to show restraint. The United states has the Opportunity to make a major Impact in a peaceful and consultative manner. Its time Lor Washington to become proactive a done to choose a Side choose both sides. A Raymond f. Heath Ramstein a West Germany will there be the possibility of your getting rejected by your birth Parent but you will also deeply Hurt your adoptive parents. You will inflict the Hurt and rejection on them that you have fell All your life because your birth parents put you up for adoption. Is that a Hurt you really want to put on your adoptive parents in a not telling a birth child or birth Parent not to search for each other. I know there Are some who have found each other and everything is great. But people need to realize it is not like the Media portrays it to be. In a just asking that before you take this big step to first Stop and think of the consequences. Someone is going to get Hurt. Arc you ready to take the Chance its going to be you or someone you love think about it first please. 1 know. In Man adopted child whose birth Mother sought me out after 29 years.
