    Dr. Pearl was excellent as always. The hospital was great. I came in, they took my name. Before I even sat down, my name was called to go in to the waiting, not the waiting room, but the checkup room, wherever we go where they check me out, measure me, et cetera. The nurse was right there. She walked me to the room and we went through all the weighing me, measuring me, taking my blood pressure. Everything was fine. I waited about not even a minute before Dr. Diane Pearl came in. She's been my doctor for 34 years, and she knows me, but we talk about everything anyway, and she went over my whole body with all the tests, et cetera, and we talked about past stuff, current stuff, or any future worries I might have concerning my health, which they're really,
