— Silv Chivis (LocalityBiz)

"The surgeon walked me out and said and I quote, "I need to know if you're interested because this is a lot of work, so I don't want to waste my time or yours." I said for the third time, I need to think about it. He tossed my stack of paperwork on the medical assistant's desk and walked away clearly irritated."
