Seriou...I wish you really did get him by the balls. Seriously.<br /><br />As for the stuff doctors write down on noncompliant mothers etc., even if you could see the screen, they always write in code. They even discuss this at conferences. Some of the code is downright rude. <br /><br />I have one doctor who starts typing away on her keyboard while she interviews me and I got so annoyed that I now stop talking when she does that. It took her a while to notice I was still there and now, victory!, she no longer does it. But I am sure there is a rude coded message in her notes now.
