Elizabeth saw him several times. Is open to lots of alternative therapies, one of which even Elizabeth thinks might be quackery (maybe a magnet thing or a visualization thing). Has hydro-exercise facilities, which once gave E a skin infection. But he does suggest that there are lots of alternatives to try for pain besides narcotics.
