Re: Medical Connections Survey

Sorry for the return post to the Listserver!!

I received the same fax transmittal and I agree wholeheartedly with Sam's
post!! I there are others that agree, as well.

If it is a legitimate survey, the surveyor should be willing to be upfront
about who they are and who they represent!!

Thanks for the post expressing your opinion, Sam!!
