<t>Jessica...<br/> I totally hear what you're saying and I feel the same way you do. My boyfriend of almost 4 years was in a motorcycle accident on July 27, 2003.

<t>Patty,<br/> first off.....where are you and Mike from? We're from Massachusetts. We found a great doctor at one of the Boston Hospitals. We were actually going to go to MD and see Dr. Belzberg, who everyone raves about, but we were referred by one of his other doctors to try this guy first. He is...
