This must be so aggravating for you!!!!!! What about calling one or two that are in a smaller town near your area or somewhere an hour or so away? Keep trying, or call your doctor and beg. That's rediculous, she may not think that something's wrong but you are your own best judge. Tell her that and demand a referral. If you can't live like tihs for 6-8 months then something needs to be done, and to tell u the truth...if she doesn't give you a referral you'll just keep harassing her. So it's in her best interest to do so. Good luck!!!!!!
