Can you belieive it? Why didnt he send me.

Because he wanted to get max benifit from treating me for the fracture and milk my insurance company. I also want to mention that this doctor was, yes was, a close family friend so we really trusted him.
When he found out later I was diagnoside by the doctor that did- he said oh yeah , thats where we send all our patients who dont stop complaing. to this day i can not belieive he let me suffer and that his is a huge reason mine went full body so quickly.

I have to tell you I dont think Ill ever get over that he could have had me in treatment in the 6 month window.
