You probably will not understand that . Well , but I# understand it . Of course , I can't explain to you just whom I am annoying in this case by my spite . I am perfectly well aware that I cannot " get even " with the doctors by not consulting them . I know better than anyone that I thereby injure only myself and no one else . But , still , if I don't treat it , it is out of spite . My liver is bad , well then -- let it get even worse ]] I ha . . .
