Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Did your doctor treat you better the next time?
Well, since I was writing about how poorly I'd felt I was being treated by her office staff and that I felt my time had been wasted by not one but two appointments at which nothing happened, I actually went ahead and got another specialist. But my PCP said the doctor in question had felt just awful about it!
Allyson, is it a group practice? Can you switch doctors? DH did this--and made sure to tell the doctor why he was switching.
Definitely, Allyson.
msbelle, I hope you get safely to wherever you're going.

the academics who should have been its natural allies
Strange definition of "allies", there.
Can you switch doctors?
Yep! I was on hold for awhile but it turns out that yes, I can switch doctors and if I'd like to file a complaint, I can do so by phone, writing, or in person. I choose in person.
I'm mad at myself for being too discombulated to say anything at the time it was happening.

That got me, too. Which academics are the natural allies of ID? The ones that don't rely on scientific facts?
In person's good. You might want to have a paper version that they can put on file as well, if you don't mind the duplicated effort.
Maybe it means particularly those academics who wanted a middle ground between creationism and evolution?

Don't be. Most people feel vulnerable if they're in the doctor's office. Half the time they're naked and upset and don't feel like they can complain.
I'm glad you can switch--definitely make sure they know why, in no uncertain terms.

I took it to mean "allies - assuming that ID is (as its adherents claim) actually scientific."
So maybe I was reading sarcasm where there was none.
