Yenta,
That is so unfair and I feel for you!! Have you asked the nurses if
you tell/fax/email your questions to them, can they inquiry and obtain
the answers due to your situtation? I wish I could reach out and give
everyone a hug that is in this position. I've been there but
thankfully I think I have finally found the doctor that will work with
me.
Let me know if I can help Yenta.
Hugs,
Linda
