Thanks. We've just got off the phone to our son in Ireland. It's not Fathers' Day there but I think he had a reminder on his phone.

I'm hoping he... gently... explained to the lady why euthanasia wasn't quite appropriate for "fixing" a common cold.

Did he think you put the lady up to that suggestion? I would have to wonder...

@JudyEv,but words are mightier than sword. When my father was sick with stomach severe pain, we brough him to the hospital. The doctor pressed hard the stomach of my dad that he shouted and cried in pain. My brother, a military man boxed the doctor. It was an impulse and we transferred to a better hospital. The doctor my bro boxed landed on the floor and sued the doctor. The doctor sent a letter of apology.
