Whew! That sounds frightening. Thank goodness you got out of there!
Try this web site:
http://www.geocities.com/endovictims/endodocs.html
You can search according to state. I looked and there was not a doc
listed for Austin, but several in Houston and Fort Worth if you can
travel out of network. There are also quite a few links there to other
resources for finding a doctor, including a link to a Yahoo group
created specifically for this purpose.
I have the name of a doc in Houston that my cousin swears by if you are
interested.
