Dr., you are right on the mark. I have very high PB and high -HDL, etc., and of course my MD is very concerned and has given me frequent EKGs, all showing no heart damage. However, my "anger and stress" issues have not yet been discussed need to be.

MD RX'ed Nitroquick .4 mg for chest/heart pain, but frankly I think I need more comp txmt.

The man is very good and caring doctor, but I believe my personal professional stress (53 yr old litigation atty) is killing me, and my personal and anger issues need to be on the table, before I am.

I thank God that my wife knows me well and cares enough can calm me down when needed.

Hello, My goal in life is to understand people...Please think about the last time you were angry....Who were you trying to make listen to understand you? and If they did listen to understand you, based upon who you are, would you have been angry? I believe anger is a misconstrued belief, that one person can make another person listen to understand them based on who they are (impossible). Many people get respect by giving respect...To listen to understand someone based upon who he/ she is, is that not the definition for the word respect? listening to understand oneself, is that not self respect? a respectable person, is that not a person deemed worthy of being understood? Our parents wanted us to listen to understand or respect them based on their understandings, so that we could use those understandings to make good decisions when they were not with us...Teachers biggest complaint, is respect, at least those who do not get respect. Which makes sense, because a teachers job is to help people listen to understand and grow...if you find this simplistic thinking interesting lets communicate by e-mail...

Hello again,
About your Korean patients anger towards the Chinese DR. I think I would have asked the Korean patient, to help you understand what he would want the people who are Chinese to understand about his feelings toward them. He would probably go on to complain about his and his comrades treatment before during and after the war, and about all the friends he lost and how upset he is about the anger or feeling of disrespect he feels in his being...and by the way this would be good for your patient to still do...and then I would find a very well adjusted and well spoken person of Chinese descent, perhaps the Dr. to read his comments and then go to your patient and let the patient know that he understands his feelings, and that he would like to understand more, and to listen to understand him based on who he is (respect)while resisting trying to be heard, but just to listen to understand... and then when your patient feels understood, he would reciprocate the respect and be able to listen to understand perhaps his DR. The Dr could explain that not all people of his culture feel the same as those who disrespected him... and perhaps talk about how he feels about helping people to heal their wounds...and his Dr oath...
