I invariably learn from such encounters. Sometimes I walk away thinking "that was a really good way to ask about blah." On other occasions it's the content, reminding me of the holistic approach they use and broader thinking.<BR/><BR/>Good to hear that reflection and a subtle shift in style's making it a happier clinic for you :)The Shrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009039342346247138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631567898928853978.post-33067448956994202412007-06-15T01:19:00.000+01:002007-06-15T01:19:00.000+01:00Excellent posting...love the cliff gag too...thank...Excellent posting...love the cliff gag too...thanks for sharing your day with us...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
