GOTT: In regards to the person who was irritated because he or she thinks your answers are too long, thus he or she did not enjoy your column as much as when the answers were shorter, I think if this person wants only short answers, he or she should get a medical encyclopedia.

I hope you keep your answers just as they are. This person obviously does not have a serious health issue right now or has not had a health concern, whereas many letter writers have suffered for months, if not years, and are still suffering after seeing many doctors and specialists without relief.

Maybe if more doctors would give an in-depth explanation to their patients as you do, the world would be better off. I enjoy your column very much, so please keep it as is. Thank you.

DEAR READER: And thank you. It’s difficult at any time, but particularly in today’s society, to satisfy people. We all think differently, finding some things acceptable and others totally unacceptable. We are less tolerant, more opinionated and want things done our way, which, of course, is the best way. What a fickle society we’ve become.

If I have pleased you with what I am doing, it’s all worth it. Thank you again for making my day.
