They used a trick: Instead of calling it a mandatory guideline (which doctors MUST follow) they call it an 'optional' guideline. Therefore, you...
You speak my heart :D
I don't get benefits. I have to go to court. If I didn't have family who helps, I wouldn't know what to do. I daresay I'm not the exception. So...
I totally agree with you, @Invisible Woman, and let me say that you and we all here rise hope :) I agree. I once had the idea to determine...
