[IL-Talk] Prayers

[Robert Hansen]

Yeah Dan I go to the doctor all the time by myself and they don't ever
require me to do any of that stuff. You know I have to sign myself in.
Thumbprint or signature or whatever they need to do I do it. You know my
doctor doesn't have to talk to anybody else but me. I've never taken
anybody to the doctor with me and I refuse to do that stuff. I know what
the doctor or the medical staff would do because it's just what cited folks
always do. So I take the bus to the doctor. I handle it all on my own. I
had to go to the doctor last January for an emergency thing because I
started seeing floaters. Then I had to get myself over to the eye clinic in
evanston. And that meant that I had to take an uber. No excited person or
any other type of person came with me and never does.
