Mini Bio

I grew up in Montebello, California, second generation Angeleno. My great grandparents emigrated from Germany in the 1800s. I represented California in "The Federation for Peace" conference in South Korea & in India. I have Cubital tunnel syndrome, and after 2 surgeries it worsens, so please forgive numb hands and typos.;-) Graduated Summa Cum Laude from California State University in 1996. I work part time in a mortuary. Gallows humor is a survival mode often used to lighten the load of the work that we do.

In my work as a Hospice Minister, I am often unavailable for several days at a time. Please take this into consideration when attempting to place a time limit on any request for a response.
In March of 2013, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. After a partial Mastectomy I am still battling due to the HER2/neu. Chemo Brain Post-chemotherapy cognitive impairment (VERY misleading Title!) is definitely NOT fun! Chemotherapy left me with Diabetes and peripheral neuropothy. I am still quite weak and it will be a long recovery. October 2015
Recovery is slow I am still quite weak from the cancer, Chemotherapy and Radiation. I am in remission but the murder of my police officer son, Shaun, has slowed recovery considerably.

What is the difference between God and doctors? God doesn't think he is a doctor.

I am continuously learning the intricacies of Wikipedia, NOTHING should be this complicated; trolls are the epitome of evil. Baseless accusations still stun me. You are NOT paranoid if they are REALLY out to get you![1]

In any dispute the intensity of feeling is inversely proportional to the value of the stakes at issue. Sayre's law
Please feel free to shorten my name to "Doc" not DOS. UGH. That is so PC and I am so MAC! ;-) TY Pablo!
In deference to Doc #1 please make that Doc #2 ;-) And Yes, I do have a Doctorate.


This user supports the fight against Ovarian cancer.
IF ONLY I HAD KNOWN...
My other personal project is to educate people about Ovarian Cancer It Whispers - so listen carefully . . .

Watch for -

  • Pelvic or abdominal pain or discomfort;
  • vague but persistent gastrointestinal upsets such as gas, nausea, and indigestion;
  • frequency and/or urgency of urination in the absence of an infection;
  • unexplained weight gain or weight loss;
  • pelvic and/or abdominal swelling, bloating and/or feeling of fullness;
  • ongoing unusual fatigue; Do NOT chalk it up to depression!
  • unexplained changes in bowel habits.
  • If symptoms persist for more than 2 weeks, ask your doctor for a combination pelvic/rectal exam and
and trans-vaginal ultrasound. A CA-125 blood test is not infallible. More on new test as I find it.
A pap test WILL NOT detect ovarian cancer.

On October 29,2014, my SWAT policeman son was murdered while on duty. He was given a hero's funeral rivaling that of Kennedy's. The flag was flown at half staff in Sacramento and Governor Brown attended his funeral] Please google "Shaun Diamond" for the details. I am destroyed. See List of American police officers killed in the line of duty October 29, 2014. I thought God broke my heart to prove, He only takes the best ♥ R.I.P. TES He proved it beyond belief when my son was murdered. He was MY best and I am lost without him.
