Yep, I'd day that approach is flawed-- in today's market

with more informed medical consumers, that sort of nonsense

will be what gets law suits filed-- In fact, when

is feeing better, I highly recomend she see a competant

mal=practice attorney-- the way her Dr's office ignored her

complaints and " blamed " her for having some wierd pain is

totally unacceptable. If they had responded appropriately,

she would have been refered to an ER or to her PMD for

testing. She still would have had the problem, but it

would have been addressed sooner and the peritonitis would

not have been as bad. What a nightmare. Nan E.(paralegal
