    My only comment would be all the paperwork I had to complete to have a f/u appointment with Dr. Jennings at MD Anderson, including a record release form that was sent 3 times for her to simply look at my eyelid lesion again. I understand why a new patient with cancer might need this, but one size does not fit all. Dr. Jennings was wonderful!
