Me Mom - to

[Guest guest]

Lynn,

There is no excuse for what you went through at your follow-up. Now it

is time to write a carefully worded letter to to about your whole

experience - the difficulties you are having, the near overdose on your

thyroid medication, the rude treatment by the residents. He needs to

know these things and realize, too, that you deserve to be seen by him

or, at least, someone competent.

Sorry about your muscle damage and the belching. I hope those things

will improve with time. Is the medication helping?
