I guess thats why they call it the "Practice of medicine" they are not
always sure how to treat us.And as Dr. Sam put it to me...Medicine is
not always an exact science.Sometimes I get very tired of doctors
"pratcicing on me" but it's better than no treatment at all sometimes.
It just gets fustrating when you cant find a Doctor that isnt PCOS
educated.
