Hmm, Angie, I can think of at least 20 reasons why I wouldn't do that, but the main one is that I think you need as little stress as possible for a while, I really do.

Rogue, I well take your point about the incredibly bad behaviour of the staff, talking in front of other patients...but sometimes ya just gotta let it ride, you know? Because you absolutely need to be in a very strong frame of mind, or have good strong backup (not many of us here do, you're very lucky there - ex-cocaine-dealer, crikey ) to start anything like that....frankly, that kind of thing would send me into a flare beyond endurance.

Angie, you sound very fragile at the moment, and in need of the doctor's help. We can offer support, advice, hugs, but not real practical help - so just shut your eyes and ears in the surgery next time (take an ipod/walkman, something..and a good magazine) I really believe you need some practical help, rest and as little stress as possible right now,

more hugs, I hope you're feeling a little better now
