the academics who should have been its natural allies
Strange definition of "allies", there.
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?

I'm mad at myself for being too discombulated to say anything at the time it was happening.
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, everyone already said what I was going to say about ID and Allyson's doctor and msbelle's flight and whatnot. So.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I have no sense of humor right now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There should be a gig like patient's advocate -- how many times do you ever go into a doctor's office feeling on top of your game?
I admit that the times I've been to the ER with people it's helped me stay focussed (but that time I was fighting morphine for mental clarity was a bit tiring). But that's still about you remembering to be on your own case.
Someone calm and reasonably impartial to remember why you went in, and to keep the doctor reasonable themselves.
Sorry you had to go see Dr. House, Allyson.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
