No one has been able to speak with the doctor. It seems he's never around when we want to speak with him. > He felt like he was starving.

He made his way down four floors, to the exit..and managed to walk all the way home (several miles). The doctors gave the order for him to be located and found, so several ambulances went in search of him. My mom was called, and she went looking. too.

To that one, he was laughing, saying " Cup of Joe. " I told him he was certainly the laziest person I've ever in my life seen.
