I have to admit Zookester I did a lol when I read your comment I think @ some point we all feel like slappin a doctor or 2 because they sit there with out a clue as to what we are dealing with & make some remark or give us a look like the pain we suffer with isn't as bad as we say it is yet we're the ones having to suffer daily. I actually had a doctor look @ me like I was gonna infect him or something when I offered him to sit on the hospital bed & he treated me like **** needless to say didn't have a clue what RSD was & looked @ me like I was nuts after he looked around the room when I asked him if he knew what it was. I couldn't believe the way he treated me I was in tears & to this day will not allow that doctor to set foot near me if he's on @ the hospital. I have learned after being treated like **** too many times by too many doctors & nurses that I have to stand up speak up & be my own advocate my own voice & not be pushed around just cuz they have "dr" in their title. WE as the patient know best what's going on w/our bodies & what works or doesn't work & have to be our own voice.
