Wow! Frank, I don't know if you handled the situation "just right" but I have done similar things in the past for almost the same exact reasons, and in the morning, or the next day, my wife reacted the same way (she has panic attacks and often feels like she needs to go to the hospital but almost never does). I don't know if there is a switch that has been thrown in NYS but one of the better, more constructive posters here has taken to being pretty judgmental and sarcastic. NYS, it's not that we can't handle diverse opinions, it's how those opinions are presented that seems to be in question. I know on my, and Tim's threads you have done similar things today. I understand you have some different things you want to express, but on a site that so far, has been really supportive, EVEN when being contrary, it is out of place. I welcome your input because on the whole it has been constructive (and you HAVE not always agreed with me or sugar coated your comments) and not judgmental or sarcastic. Just my two cents.
