Dear Beverly,
Be responsible for your own health. Don't let some
arrogant endocrinologist call the odds. -Or does he supervise your
life anyway? As a responsible adult I would certainly resent some guy
who I see once in a while dominating me! Who's life is it anyway? Do
you live for him or yourself?
