I doubt a M.D. wrote this considering the grammar used.

Nothing was wrong with the grammar per se. Just the spelling. I could

Agreed. I've had occasion to stick a softball in my pants. (Don't ask.)

This is where getting picky about people's grammar always bites one in the

there might or might not be a large grain of truth to it.
