The Best Way To Get Top Notch Medical Care Is To...

Ask to see your medical file. And request a copy.

Suddenly, my doctor was very attentive.

I felt it was time to take a different approach -- my last visit with him was kinda sorta uncomfortable... I walked out feeling REALLY discouraged, as if he didn't take me seriously. So I brainstormed a little bit. No doctor wants his files scrutinized (especially by me, cuz I'm smart haha). I brought a whole bunch of information downloaded from the internet (thank GAWD for the internet) and asked him to put it in my file, too. He was shocked. Apparently he never read about my disorder in my file.

WTF?!?!

So this whole time he thought I was just a "needy" patient.

Yea I'm needy! LOL

And I deserve to be. dammitt. ;)

At the end, the resistance I experienced getting referrals in prior visits was completely rectified. He is MUCH MORE understanding and willing to help me now.

!!! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX !!!

It's all about small miracles... cuz small miracles add up to BIG ones! :)
