Since mid-Oct, 2017, I've been under the good care of an ID doc - know what that is? He specializes in "Infectious Diseases" - and that's all I'm going to say about that - for now. I was so impressed with his professionalism and care I sent him a White Oak cane which I had made last fall. But I included a picture of my FAV Cane #100 - Diamond Willow - previously described here.
In his thank-you note the good doctor asked if I knew that diamond willow is a "cancer of a fungal infection valsa sordida" - and I had to confess.
Someone here had mentioned diamond willow was a fungus but that's all I knew.
See what I mean about his professionalism?
"valsa sordida"
Good grief - he's even aware of tree diseases.
I'm thankful he's my doctor.
