What can one say to that but... Sutpid Freakin Doctors :( I know it
does not help, but I have been there sooo many times. They never seen
to know what to do anymore to help. And we are always left on our own
to figure it out for ourselves. I am sick of paying a doctor for no
answer. I know what you are going thru, and I am so sorry you have to
go thru it. I am sure this is not the first time, and it will probably
not be the last. I think you need to find another primary care
physician, if this one can not see the immediate need for you to get an
appointment then to heck with em. Shew, I think I am a grouch again
today!
