That was the last straw and I wish I had not wasted so many months with him and the doctors he referred me to as they all proved to be a waste of time and money. No sense dwelling on the past though...I ended up with a wonderful doctor as my replacement and who knows if I would be where I am today if I had not switched when I did. All the trials of dealing with the bad doctors has made me stronger and more educated about how to deal with everything that I am going through. But there is always that fear...particularly when you hear the horror stories about people who cannot find good doctors that if you leave a GOOD doctor you will not find a GREAT doctor and then be in the same or worse position in the future.
