That is horrible, I am sorry for you. I am not sure where you live but
that kind of treatment is unacceptable. I don't know if you are able to
find other doctors. I had to go through a couple of doctors but they
atleast saw me same day. I would defintley demand some treatment or you
could be come very sick.
