Re: Re: ALLISON - Top Doctors

[Guest guest]

I know, so true. One has to find a doc by trial and error, and to be as

informed as possible. I accept the responsibility for my health (within my

limits), but I need someone who I can trust to do a competent and optimal

job. It has been suggested that I post on MediBoard and see if someone can

direct me to an endo who is good with ATDs.

Thanks,

Yeah, the one in Berkeley only likes dealing with hypo's and is no help to

hypers, from what I've heard, too.
