Go and take your loved ones to Albany Med and to John Dalfino if you enjoy picking out cemetery plots and attending funerals, my father came to you for help after we found a tumor and you released him on thanksgiving evening and said he was perfectly healthy and we had nothing to worry about, he died in my arms in my garage 10 days later.
