prodding, reading, learning and questioning...Docs really don't know everything. I've had a couple admit that-soo, We've the vested self interest to do so. The NEXT step is to tactfully approach the subject of what to do next..w/the docs-in a WAY that THEY want to DO it all.

Ask after reading up, all those silly seeming questions...you'd be surprised how many all of us here [me especially] have asked over time. To me no question is insignificant!

Keep being the advocate! Hugs and strength and patience and perseverence! - j
