Im asking for good thoughts and prayers for my wife. She is sick and getting weaker everyday. Im also asking for advice. She has been complaining to the Dr. for 8 months of no appetite and weight loss and he has ignored her. Tomorrow Im going with her to the Dr. and going to speak my mind. I know I must be calm and handle this like a calm person but I must admit I am frustrated with medical care and this Dr. Any advice would be appreciated. I really don't know anyone here formally but in other ways I feel I do by reading all of your posts and you all seem like fine people. Im not even sure if it's right to post this here in a guitar forum but I will take that chance. Thanks for listening.

Eight months of no appetite and steady weight loss would throw a big red flag in the mind of a first-year medical student, for God's sake. Stay calm, yes, and state the facts straightforwardly: She has had no appetite for eight months, and has lost weight steadily. She needs a complete workup, and if he doesn't want to do it, you will find someone who will. If you are telling the story perfectly straight, his attitude to "ignore it", under the circumstances, is deplorable. Do it!
