My hands are a mess right now,and new computer,burry eyes,so please
excuse...I am feeling pretty much the same way,Drs. are not reaching
out of there feilds now..They get the blank expression when you ask a
question,they roll their eyes,and pass you on..

I worked for 25 yrs. as a nurse,maybe because it was ER Truma,maybe
that was the difference,i don't know....But it's like they forgot they
all went to Medical School and don't remember the basics or could
it be a shortage of time...Or fear of lawsuits,but i feel like i'm caught
up in a totally different world...I have said it before,I hope i told
every patient I was there and they could squeeze my hand as hard
as they had to..The orher night when I was in the car accident,I
saw very little of patience,very little of the truma Dr. Just a scared resident,
and I told him how to pop my shoulder back into place,without
doing more damage...I feel they give you far to many unnecessary exrays,
You get the feeling there training,someone and they sometimes are.

I hope you both get rhere,and i truly hope you get the answers you need.
But remember Dan there's always my idea of a commune in Rochester,MN.
for all of us,right next door to the Mayo Clinic...We will barn storm them
in a huge but nice group,we will not give them time to say no,get those exrays just in case...Then we will move on to a warmer more interesting
place like Yorkiemom would like to do. I am not making light of your fears
and pain,I just get so frustrated,I feel it and know it too!! Please if you
want this,try again...to all Sue
