Dear l)onna,Wow! You have really been through the wringer!It's hard to fathom all the crazy responses thatyou've had. What a bunch of dopes! You werethinking of others and not yourself in regards tothe ambulance ride. I hope your care was goodat the hospital you wound up at.I am switching back to my first and original neuro.The second one is cool and aloof and a bit tooclinical for me. She also believes I have secondaryprogressive. Dr. Decker, the one I'm switching backto believes I have RRMS. He is also a bit warmerand slightly fuzzy. I feel a bit funny and a bit guiltyat switching out of her practice--not quite certainhow to do that. I called Decker and made an appt.March 1 with him, but do I have to call the other oneto tell her that I'm leaving? Or do I merely fade away?lol. Just wondering out loud...When they send files, dothey send originals, or do they merely send a copy andkeep the originals?
