Re: The GALL of my OB/GYN

I just have to say Hip Hip Hooooray for that ER doctor! My goodness what
a blessing to have that guy not only validate your pain and your
condition, but add to your diagnosis with the adhesion info AND
recommend a good doctor! I mean that is super rare for an ER doc I have
to say. I hope you can go see this person he suggested and find some
relief.
Good luck,
Alyson
