Dear Kim:
Thank for your calm stance :-). Yes, I can totally relate to your
concern re incorrect info from docs, as I too had the runaround for
years until I finally found a doc with a brain who could accurately dx
my condition.
But as for Dr. Sam, he is just a doc donating his time, trying to help
us out. I'm not saying that his word is gospel, after all, we're
supposed to be seeking out treatment from our own doctors -- Dr. Sam is
just here to help, and I really do appreciate his help/perspective. He
has, without knowing (I've been reading his posts), already helped me.
Anyway, I'm sorry if I put you on the defensive, but I just saw all of
these posts attacking him -- I would rather have Dr. Sam here than many
of these ungrateful women. If these women don't care for his answers,
then they can ignore the posts, but I can assure you, there are those of
us who do appreciate Dr. Sam's advice and are very happy to have him.
