I have followed [staff] since my diagnosis. I trust him, literally, with my life. I did in the beginning and I still do today. And if [staff] trusts Christina to treat me, then I do as well.

Christina is knowledgeable and explains thoroughly, but she has an odd affect and speaks very rapidly with a foreign accent, which can make her hard to follow sometimes.
