Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Dorothy: I can sure appreciate your frustration. My doctor told me I had IPF, and essentially began walking out the door. I said, "Wait, do I need any medication?" He paused, then shook his head and said, "No." That's it. Like you, I was confused. I kept calling the doctor's office, and although I left specific times to be called back, the nurse and I played phone tag. She finally left a message for me to go look on the web for information. Of course, all the web sites I visited said I had 3-6 years left. I was SO angry. I called her back and left her a message of how dare you send me to the web so I could learn I'm going to die. Well, that got her to call me. She said since I have IPF, it isn't important!!! She's not there anymore, I don't think. At least I don't have to deal with her. : I'm keeping good thoughts for you as you wait. Rita With MSN Spaces email straight to your blog. Upload jokes, photos and more. It's free!
