My dear esteemed patients!

Indeed my medical services have not been called upon for some time which of course is a source of great joy to me since I must deduce from that that all is well in Mudcatland!

I am of course on call at all times as usual and more than willing to assist, even with the most intractable and persistent problem. Indeed, it is just as well that Mr Miller posted here as I have been monitoring my waiting room over in this thread. Now that I know that some patients are coming in through the fire exit I shall of course be looking into both waiting rooms.

Unfortunately, I am between calls at the moment. I have just come back from a trip from Seville where my urgent attendance was needed by a rather desperate group of flamenco guitarists. And tomorrow night I must depart for a short trip to Estonia where some needy musicians from that ex-Soviet state urgently require my assistance with their instruments before their celebratory concerts marking their accession to the European Union on 1 May. However, by the weekend I shall be back in my surgery and will be working hard to answer each and every query and request for therapy that you have all so kindly endowed upon me.

My dear C-flat! I am most indebted to you for providing locum assistance during my absence on international call!

Dear Alona Lott... I can hardly express my joy on news of the full recovery of your digit! You are so very worthy in not visiting those forbidden sites...this requires great strength of character and you have demonstrated that you possess this in abundance.

Your question is a most serious one and I will be considering this while administering to the needy in Estonia in order to give you the best possible answer upon my return.

Yours most sincerely,

Dr. Guitar
