Yeah, I had a similar start Steve. I ended up in traction in the hospital for a week. The Doctor had convinced my parents that I had a strange condition as all my disks were very small and slipping out between the vertabrae on a frequent basis. Finally, another Doctor saw me, thanks to Mom, and had some words with the Disk Doctor and I was released.

It had its good side, some of my classmates had visited me and I became the short term hero at the school for being subjected to this medieval torture.

I hope that Diane's doctor (little "d" intentional) is hanging around somewhere and someone else has taken over her case.

I understand your frustration.
