I would get all of the records, make a copy for your new doctor (maybe on the machine at work) and save a copy for yourself. If something happens, it's such a pain in the ass to get records that you might as well while you have the chance.

That is very much my inclination too, but he was my doctor for over a decade -- I don't know if that amounts to 50 bucks or 500 bucks. And the form they gave me is "give us your credit card number and come pick them up" so I wouldn't really know until the damage was done it seems.

I've copied thousands of files in my day, it is onerous to be sure. Maybe not 75 cents a page irritating, but its a pain. However, going through the files, removing pages, flagging where you removed, copying those pages, and replacing them correctly is an enormous pain in the ass if its only a folder or two. Just pull it off the hooks, throw it on the feeder and hit COPY for heaven's sake.

I was baffled by "four different sorts of children," which seems to imply that we have more sorts than sons and daughters.

Thanks, Ginger! I'll send it later on (right now on a university's computer).

And I knew that story about Maxwell's Haggadah - I learned it from Natter, about two or three years ago!

(Sadly and shockingly, I believe our Haggadahs are sponsored by banks and Israelis HMO. My God, this place is really stuck in the 50's.)

I was particularly taken with the fact that the relationship with the ad agency started back with Cheek-Neal Coffee Company, which is a significant part of Nashville's history.

(And did anyone else go to a Venture Brothers place? Now that would be a Seder...)

I'm not drunk enough to properly appreciate that.

I was baffled by "four different sorts of children," which seems to imply that we have more sorts than sons and daughters.

I think that's very au courant and gender friendly.

And possibly trying too hard, when you could have just said "children."

Yeah, the hundreds of other inclusive haggadot out there pretty much use "children" - that's just crap writing, there.

Also, "ruler" flows a lot better than "monarch", IM extensive E, although the Venture Bros variant is kind of fabulous.

(Seriously, I find it kind of hilarious that this is apparently NEWS that I've seen reported all over the place today. Yes, Maxwell House is the haggadah that your grandma used for the last century or so, and okay, props to the PR people for getting their press release everywhere, but egalitarian language has been out there for a good 40 years now...)

I think they're hyping the fact that the 2011 edition of their haggadah has been significantly rewritten. I'm mainly impressed by the longevity of the campaign, which is centuries long in advertising years.

Yeah, the longevity (and the fact that there even is a Maxwell House Haggadah, which is so obviously not an obvious match and belongs in Mad Men or something. but only the first season.) is way cool - I'm just cranky that I've seen a whole bunch of "ZOMG! SOMEONE CHANGED THE TEXT TO SAY 'CHILDREN'!!" when, you know, really. not. news.

Huh. Lookit that. Still not working.... sigh.
