Generally, I really do try to be a positive person. One thing I'm absolutely positive about is some people are idiots. These are the people that fuel my insanity.

Freak needs to have a VN Zoner Appreciation Day where he lets us take over VN and run wild for 24 hours. Surely we could muster enough spark to raise a little old school zoner hell. It would be fun.

Not sure. I'm still looking since I moved back here. Seems everyone is a referral specialist anymore. Shame we don't have the one stop docs like we did many years ago. The ones that took care of everything.

My doc was Doctor Bunn, back in the day. Stitched you up, set bones, healed the sick and took time to know you. Regardless of what I went in with, he took care of me.

He was one hell of a doc and person. I'd go in sometimes just to talk life over with him and he always made time for me. He patched me up from the time I was 12 until I left Tennessee. When he grew a moustache in the 70's, I told him he looked like Dick Smothers, and he did.

Probably one of the wisest people I've ever known.

That he was...... I was in his office once and heard him talking to a woman in the room next to me.... She had a baby in there and he was telling her that she needed to take that baby home and give it a bath....LOL

I never saw her or that baby, but he was not happy LOL

My Dad had a lot of health problems that Doc tried to help with. At the end, he went in the hospital with a stroke at 3 am on a Monday morning. Doc was there about 15 minutes after we were. Tuesday, he told me that Dad wouldn't make it through Friday. Dad died Thursday night. At the hospital, Mom told him that it might take some time before she was able to pay him. He had been at the hospital twice a day for the entire week to check on Dad. He told Mom that she didn't owe him or the hospital anything. She never got a bill for anything.

Did nearly the same for my dad..... dad had major surgery in the 60's and Mom and he both said had it not been for Dr. Bunn he would have died then. Dad died on Christmas day 1987 and Doc was there in hospital with him when he died... I will never forget

WTF happened to doctors like that? I had no idea we'd be where we are today regarding medical care. It's sort of weird. My brother and his wife bought a new house last fall. It's about two blocks from Doc's old office. I think about him every time I make that turn off John Sevier to visit them.
