Dr.s are not God and do not have all the answers. I began to educate myself and be knowledgeable when talking with the Dr.'s. I learned a lot about who to trust and who NOT to trust. <br />I can't wait for the rest of your story.<br />Blessings<br />Gmama Jane<br />Alabama<br />Stop by for a visit at my blog http://grandmamasstories.blogspot.comGmama Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02866486725742104875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-66034746506358732372011-11-14T22:22:41.979-07:002011-11-14T22:22:41.979-07:00I had a doctor who wouldn't refer me to a spec...I had a doctor who wouldn't refer me to a specialist for my problems. I had seen a specialist where we lived when I first had the problems, but when we moved I had to find new doctors. I honestly believe it is that they want the money. If another doctor treats you then they don't get paid. If he had to work with another doctor he wouldn't get paid as much. That, and some doctors think they know everything, or are some kind of god. It is very frustrating. There are good doctors out there, but sometimes they can be hard to find. It is so wonderful that your mother in law was so helpful in finding a good doctor for you!The Hojnackeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831225232147068760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-17704599027798586352011-11-13T09:27:54.189-07:002011-11-13T09:27:54.189-07:00I work in a profession where I have contact with p...I work in a profession where I have contact with physicians for my clients' sakes. Many of them are ego-maniacs. Every once in a while I find one who sincerely just wants what is going to help their patients. You are one of my heroes. You are so full of positive energy, gratitude, and creativity. I will daily pray for you.Elysiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05933885929941443184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-43928868513265595262011-11-12T17:38:45.599-07:002011-11-12T17:38:45.599-07:00I am so sorry that you're having to go through...I am so sorry that you're having to go through all of this.

Thank goodness for those people in our lives who step up when life gets tough.<br /><br />It is disheartening and, in some cases like yours, devastating when you work out that a professional person is not capable. As a veterinarian, I know that we are all human beings and that we are all fallible but I remember that I felt like I had reached a certain level of achievement when I could say "I don't know the answer" to a client and then work through it, instead of bluffing and blustering through.Tashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216773844356794636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-44005986087465807952011-11-11T14:37:19.232-07:002011-11-11T14:37:19.232-07:00I've been reading your story with great intere...I've been reading your story with great interest, as I used to work in the medical field (as a med tech in a hospital lab). Unfortunately, as you know, there are good doctors, and bad ones, just as in any profession. I'm SOOO sorry you had to learn this the hard way! I WISH we had a better system here to report things like this. Good for you for making others aware that they need to trust their gut, and to do their own research! It's hard to walk away from an incompetent doctor, but necessary. So glad you did. It pains me that you had to do this twice (so far).Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436825220887971278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-13497633125376810352011-11-11T14:11:45.592-07:002011-11-11T14:11:45.592-07:00I'm so glad you followed your gut.I'm so glad you followed your gut.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06314616097677098470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-55876152859849733972011-11-11T12:48:46.629-07:002011-11-11T12:48:46.629-07:00I am sure you know how fortunate you are to have y...I am sure you know how fortunate you are to have your mother. I have a few medical conditions that my doctors are unfamiliar with. I ended up having to learn about them on my own and teaching my doctors. They are very busy and don't really have the time to learn on their own or to even remember what I have given them. It is an ordeal every time I have to see them. At least they respected me enough to listen to me. I am glad Dr T "fired" you as a patient. Please listen to your gut when it comes to the medical profession. You must be your own advocate and if your doctor does not accept you as part of the team-fire him and find one that will. They are not perfect and if unwilling to work with you don't deserve your money or time.JustPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05045804511378274932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-80599331836545546162011-11-11T12:21:24.220-07:002011-11-11T12:21:24.220-07:00Ack!
