I did, a couple summers ago. I wanted to last year but all the nearby
clinics conflicted with something else in my life. I’m planning to do one
in Tennessee at the end of the month if my recovery cooperates. I’ve also
worked on recruiting others, including my GYN, who was very receptive. I
tell them, “It will change your life.” It changed mine, even though I
worked with basically the same population when I did home health.
