There you go, Michelle, You're already thinking ahead of me--good for you! Glad you've figured how to keep them safely. Let me know if you ever find anyone who actually bothers to LOOK at them, or really test them for anything.
I've been burned enough, myself, that I tend to think that even though the doc made you feel dumb for throwing it out--IF you had suddenly pulled a sample out of your purse, he probably would have looked down his nose at THAT, and sneared, and without touching it, said, "sorry that's TOO degraded, to be useful." or something like that... I think it's like premise of the book that Franky brought up--'They already have their minds made up: please don't bother them with any annoying facts or exams.'
But, there must be SOME good docs out there--we all know this. We can hope.
