Fall of 2013; I have a chest pains in a doctor's office and am taken to the Emergency room. Within an hour we get a call from an individual associative of the legal profession with an idea to resolve all. Likely genuinely concerned but the speed of the call relative to incident was baffling. He'd later exhibit nervous astonishment on how I knew so much, then stark fear, then confusion as to why I was not afraid.

January of 2014: During my meeting with another Neurosurgeon and his nurse, the doctor's demeanor took a confrontational turn at the get go, as he repeatedly highlighted his academic credentials and inquired about my educational background, seemingly in an attempt to establish a comparison. When discussing my medical condition, specifically the insomnia associated with it, I preferred to avoid that topic, leading Smith to declare he wouldn't operate unless I disclosed more information. (He wasn't as I'd not led such a touch me).

I provided him the same brief descriptions that a few other doctors understood quite easily. A clear overview of the geopolitical issues impacting us, including past drainage problems. Smith expressed confusion over basic terminology, prompting further clarification that included details about collaboration with a European Engineering Professional. My wife not realizing that he was as an attorney feigning that he did not understand where my wife said I should start from the beginning.

He then stated he did not need me to start from the beginning and he did not need to hear anything from my wife. He added that he did not want to hear anymore on the subject he pressed for. The calmer I was the more he became unhinged where I was embarrassed for my long suffering wife so witness it. Smith's quip at my wife was meant to garner an emotional reaction out of me which did not work.
