Gosh...this is a toughie...

So far I've been to more than two-dozen doctors and specialists in the past four years, mostly because the cause of my pain is still undiagnosed, and I don't mind pushing and pushing some more for every test possible.

Some docs are good and some aren't, and I have yet to find a way to tell which it's going to be before I meet them. For me the best source of info on which docs are best are the nurses and even some admins at certain hospitals, like the ones who do nothing but radiological testing. Since they don't actually treat patients themselves, they are often pretty honest and helpful in suggesting outside docs who fit your needs.

I've never had any problem getting meds. Whatever I ask for I get, within reason. But I do live in fear of having that one doc label me a seeker or something, 'cause I know that could change everything. It's a dang shame that the people who need the help most keep finding it the hardest to get.
