strange things from doctors

[Guest guest]

Tammy,

When my dad was diagnosed with hereditary neuropathy, the Dr. he had at that

time was older and he called it " Dripping Paw Neuropathy " . Just before my

father died from cancer, I noticed symptoms in myself, so I called the office

that diagnosed my father to get more information and his Dr. was no longer

their, so I asked about the " Dripping Paw Neuropathy " and the Drs. left in that

office laughed at me because they had never heard of that.

They pulled my fathers records and had to apologize, because in black and white

was what I had been telling them, that was when they told me it was probably

CMT, but since my father had sweaty palms and feet at all times, they figured

that was an old expression and that's why the Dr. put that as his diagnosis.

The strange things that Drs. that are trained in this area come up with. This

Dr. was a neuro Dr.
