What dangerous places we find ourselves in!

When I first decided the neuro I'd had wasn't for me, I asked for cy's of my file..I was charged almost $20 to have six pages of clearly 'filtered' notes prepared which contained very little...test results in it? A noticably edited summary. All other second opinion docs I met with I merely stated that 'I don't think I communicate well at all with this person.' That way, you don't bad mouth...the records provided by the now ex-doc and the subsequent tests these other docs recommended said VOLUMES.

If you don't trust a doc to TRUST YOU when you describe your pain issues, how can you TRUST THEM to treat you???... There are times when that doc who is 'the best', skill wise in some areas may not have the skills YOU NEED. Unless you are a hundred miles from a major metro area, suss out who else is out there....Ask your other docs about getting a few names for a second opinion....your other docs aren't going to give you names of the real turkeys.

Nancy, I dearly hope you find a 'keeper'! - j
