    Even though it seemed as though that day was a very busy day, he totally took the high road and shared with me the imagery where my problem lay's, And proceeded to explain a less evasive procedure that I wasnÕt even aware of, I had the same problem with my other hand, and I was never received such informative knowledge about my entire situation as a whole as I did with, Dr. Foster. THANK YOU and very much appreciated NOT being treated like cattle in a Shute.
