[The-Lacanalyst] test 123

Mon Sep 29 21:22:25 UTC 2025

Thanks Aviva.

I don't do insurance at all (private pay only), so this allows me a lot
more freedom to work it all out with my patients directly as they would be
the only ones filing any complaints that would trigger any investigation
(assuming all my services are otherwise equally available to everyone). I
also have a job that pays for my healthcare (it would be a few thousand
dollars for the two of us otherwise), so I can afford to "do what I want"
in my own clinic. It is at once a compromise and a privilege, and gives me
what I want...

Jacques - jokingly.... if you could only move the seminar from Thursday to
Monday, Wednesday, or Friday (at the same time), my life would be in a full
revolution on "my Mobious strip" from the last  time I had the pleasure to
take a lecture from you to right now :-) Until then... my return is
imprecise... LOL...

Best,
Kristopher
