Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group Trying really hard not to hate Doc's

steve,

my thoughts are with you and your family. i cannot tell you how many doctors i have seen who have provided incorrect information, prescribed drugs incorrectly, mis diagnosed things, incorrectly interpreted lab reports etc. the best thing i have found is taking things into my own hands and never taking the doctors word for it.

Steve!!!
That is so friggin' wacked....can Diane show her results to someone she works with and get an answer???!!! Screw the other doc....

I know the frustration with the docs, hang in there, I hope things get better soon....I know some guys that would be more than willing to help Bruno and Pete change a certain doctors mind...

Peace

I need some ruby slippers, well lets make 'em Nikes, click my heels three times and bingo I'm back in Kansas so tospeak and lady DI is one healthy lass.
I also need a world where Doc's are as genuinely concerned as you. My frustration with this man doesn't change the fact that nothing in the world is so good as a truly good Doc. I stll think of the gentleman who did my hip replacements as the man who saved my life.
People are just people no matter what the profession. The ability to care and try to give an honest reply is treasured no matter what the job.

Thanks Pete. Nuns beat the need for me to obtain permission for anything into my thick skull with them metallic rulers they wield. I sure needed permission. Feel not as angry today just concerned and hopeful that the answer is coming if we persist.

Thank you DC. I know too manyhorror stories but also lots of good ones. My Dad was saved after a hopeless strlke by a physician that tried a procedure that the local hospital had never done before. Friends of the family also Doc's who worked in the hospital actually dragged this guy out his bed at home because of their affection for my Dad. I t was sorta like calling in a marker for a life full of good deeds to save his life.

Got front page coverage in local newspaper months and months later. Actually more like a year + later when Dad had recovered enormously.

Her loveliness is exhausted all the time. I figured it was her busy schedule of work plus the girls , plus me. She says it feels like that day after drinking too much tired where you feel the toxins just flowing through your blood.

She of course withheld this for a couple of weeks. TOugh cookie but not always making the best choices. God bless her .

Thank you for the concern and suggestion Leanne. Gonna keep it real simple right now. Go to someone who I thought was the best and get his recommendation for a colleague who he would send his family member to.

Unfortunately for me Lon I don't have the energy to stay in a rage very long. ALways found that looking for a solution and movin' on past the person who disappointed you was the best path.

Lots of doors to open to find an answer why waste time crashin about on this guys front porch making a ruckus.

Gettin' scared here in NJ/NY 'cause when you start giving ministerly advice I understand ya' crystal clear. Thanks for the love and concern and toss that newest Lon descendant a good solid hug for us here.

Bruno says that the 3 wood although a wonderful suggestion tends to hook professionals. He saves his driver and fairway woods for thick skulled types such as his competitors. Its way to much club for a guy who is pencil neck type such as a Doc or lawyer.

The club of preference he believes would be not much more than an 8-iron. Also he thinks a nice finishing touch is one of those cheesy Goofy club cover heads when the 8-iron work is done.

Bruno is soooo right on the mark when it comes to using the right tool for the right job.
