Life

by Ed Urzi

Note: From it’s inception in 1996 to circa 2010, The Doctor’s Office website was primarily geared towards a youth audience. While the studies below were originally written with a 13-17 year old readership in mind, the author trusts that readers of all ages will continue to find value in these older youth-oriented messages.
