DE !! (= Mort de Rire !! deadly exhilaration!!)... Thank you for your December 24th humoristic bout , old Swansea black swan ! But you know , medical files will become less & less funny , since here a law has been recently passed forbidding any crypted abbrevation or personnal hints concerning the patient ...And since lawyers will poke their noses more & more frequently in those files , they will become more & more slick & neutral , of course .But I'm sure the matter anyway will never dry up , since many file redactors wont resist going on writing down telling chapters : of that you have a good exemple in the answer written by a Dr " vanostade" to the joyful message of Mr & Mrs "kilowatt" ( "8 pounds2oz" , in "photo-album" )...Anyway , please go on cheering up the forum !

PS Hope you dont object to my nicknaming you from the black palmipede on your frontispice & one of your neighbouring cities : I never could resist a pun , whatever dumb ...Besides , I happened once , on a winter morning five years ago , passing on the road to Chamonix , to see a couple of black swans ( what were they doing here ???) on a half frozen pond , among the snow covered firs ...Most beautiful , you would have certainly taken a snapshot . I made some inquiries among the local ornithologists , they were as puzzled as me , & concluded they were stray birds ...Ciao !
