Wow Cate
That is something else, I have had my share of none answers at the drs.
but that one takes the cake. I don't think they do it on purpose it
seems that alot of Drs. are so busy they pay attention when your there
but when you leave you it seems they never give the case another
thought. Sometimes you have to be really persistant, until you get an
answer.
If it were me I would go back to my Dr. and insist on finding out why
no one ever told you, and from there its up to you if you want to go any
further with it. As for me I'd pretty mad at the first dr.
