    I inadvertently clicked the forward error before finishing my response about the cognitive function test I was given. Here is the rest of my answer. I was handed a very small tablet and had to use a stylus to answer the questions. I had the tablet on my knees so did not have adequate support which added to my difficulty in responding. The results of my test were that I did have cognitive function issues. I explained that I had not heard the questions and would have done better have I been able to respond to these questions on a desk or table of some kind so that it wasn't constantly moving around in my lap while I was responding. I was asked to remember three words and I could not even hear the third word and that of course reflected badly on my ultimate score.

    Dr Frederick turton has been my primary care physician for 3 plus years. He always has a wonderful bedside manner, listens to my questions and gives responses and lets me know if I am worrying too much about something that I shouldn't worry about. That is very important to me since I have had doctors in the past, not from Emory who barely speak to me and rarely showed actual interest in what I was telling them and did not give me explanations the way Dr Turton does. I am 74 Yrs old, so suffice I have seen many, many positions over the years. Dr turton gets a five-star rating from me. I have recommended him to several friends
