John, not only was it his choice , but his girlfriends and his family. They 
are just as good at being a Dr. as the boat Captain is, which means they 
ain't one.......the family are the ones that were at fault, they knew him 
better than anyone. When will a HFS  look in the mirror, when will his 
family and girlfriend tell him the truth. Yeah, keep blaming it someone 
else.....
