I wish I could say that I had normal parents and a normal childhood, but the honest truth is that I only had normal parents and a normal childhood for a couple of years of anonymity in the early 1980s ( Read more... )

His cardiologist is the head in charge of Cardiology at Scripps Mercy and Dad's regular doctor and nephrologist is the chief of staff of the same hospital. His surgeon is the head surgeon of the same hospital. So basically, he's in REALLY good hands ( Read more... )
