Re: Thanks doc...or not!...Also an intro

and if he's like one of my old docs, when he says' "i don't know what else
to do" and walks away, you turn to the nurse and plead for help in getting a
referall to a specialist. the nurse who got me my referal empathised with
me, and said the doc was stumped and had no idea what to do to help me. he
was an old school doc, who IMO refused to accept newer protocols and ideas
and all the other new stuff docs are supposed to know ( sheesh, dang
fibro-fog has struck, time to stop typing>
