Re: neurologists - gender issue?>Aletta

[Guest guest]

Aletta,

I agree with everything you said. Doctors are very tight. I was made

fun of because I was honest about seeing other doctors. The doctor

didn't do anything but insult me after telling me how wonderful the

doctor he knew was and how he played golf with him. His golf partner

didn't do any test on me either. I left after telling him what I

thought. The next doctor I went to I didn't say a thing about going

to any other doctors. The previous doctor had taught me a lesson. You

can make a formal complaint about a doctor but don't plan on seeing

another doctor in the area. It won't happen. When you have HMO you

can only go to so many doctors. As far as comparing doctors to

computer experts you can't. It isn't a life or death sentence with

computers. If you complain about a computer expert you can find

another one. Sorry but I can't see any comparison with computer

experts or anyway that you could make the comparison. If I can't find

someone to fix my computer because I have been black balled no big

deal I can buy another one. I can't buy another body but I sure wish

I could. I was accepted into the computer science program and had a

4.0 average. At one time in my life I didn't have these brain

problems I have now or the pain I experience constantly even after

taking pain meds. As far as being replaced no one is indispensable no

matter who they are. I might not be able to do anything about these

doctors who do this to people but I do believe that one day they will

have to answer for their lives. As I often tell my children Vengence

is the Lord's.

God bless,
