for top leadership. Remember when he "burned his throat" and was in the hospital? Also, Maria seemed to be getting regular OB GYN visits because there was a letter once where he was talking to her about those exams, and how docs would seem to be bothered handling that all day. Berg said something about her being someone docs would love examining. Something like that.
There were clues to the very different standard of living between top leaders and lower rank and file.
But Berg for all his ranting on going by faith and even writing a letter on "Afflictions" and not worrying about saving the body by taking all the time and medicine it takes to heal from STD's when FFing, here HE goes to a hospital and gets treated. I think he said he burned it from coffee? But wasn't it STD related?
