It is a great idea to empower yourself so you can understand what she's saying and respond intelligently and ask questions. I don't know much about AA but if you search for ATG you'll find a lot of stuff. I hope you're feeling well. Take Care, Steve
Steve,
I agree on the "DocSpeak". Sometimes I think they talk like lawyers to limit their liability. I have not gotten a second opinion but am considering it before starting treatment.
