Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 Amy, If you feel that you aren't receiving the medical care that you need, you should do everything to ensure that you do! If more women did what you are thinking of-who knows? Maybe physicians would be more cautious and conscientious in their practices. I say go for it.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 Amy, I definitely think you should go for it. I was twenty-four when I when I started seeking medical help and now here I am almost thirty-four and still dealing with it. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 Hi Amy I would be upset, too. This doctor seems very insensitive and we all know that " at least you can keep trying " is hardly any comfort. I don't know exactly who you would go to but I think you should switch doctors if you can. Maybe making a phone call to the doctor, if it's not too terribly hard for you- it would be for me, just letting him know that you are disappointed in the support, you may be surprised at the reaction. I am behind you what ever you choose and you should go with your heart. Barb At 10:10 AM 3/28/2000 -0500, you wrote: >Okay. I need to know some opinions about this.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2000 Report Share Posted March 29, 2000 Well, it will be a while before I am able to go make my complaint. is at a stage where it is very difficult for me to take her somewhere by myself. I will be waiting until gets home so he can either go with me or stay with . She has this running thing, so I don't want to have to keep stopping in the middle of my complaints to chase her. I will let you all know what happens when I do go, though. Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
