Perfect example of why we need to be our own advocates and not put so much trust in doctors. They're human. They make mistakes. I know some of them tend to think mighty highly of themselves.....and like the fact that some of their patients think they walk on water.....but when it comes right down to it
you know your body better than anyone. I'd keep looking until I found a doctor that
listened. And if they wanted to know why I left......I'd tell them the truth.
