Try copying it in Word and making sure all the letters and numbers are

together. It might get broken off in yahoo and that is why it doesn't work

for you because Yahoo has a tendency to break long links. I have to do the

copy paste thing and delete spaces sometimes to get to work. It is a good

read about a woman's experience with doctors not listening and how ill she

was getting.

You know, awful as that story is, I was left wondering how on earth she

got 4 doctors to talk to her on the phone?

Where I live, doctors do not talk to patients by phone. You want to talk

to one, or ask a question, you make an appt and wait. Even when they say

" call me if... " when you call you don't get to talk to the doc, and I'd

say 90% of the time, nobody ever calls back. FWIW, I've noticed that

increasingly many vets are the same way.

So, how did she do it?

I left my last doc BECAUSE his office staff was so bad. He seemed

intelligent, thorough, etc. But call the office and try to get a

refill or get any questions answered?! Forget it. So I tried

another doctor on my PPO. I asked the woman answering the phone how

the doctor was: Was he old? Does he listen? Is he arrogant? Will

he prescribe Armour? She said he was REALLY nice, early 30s, and if

that's what I needed a refill on, shouldn't be a problem. Turns out

she's his MOTHER! LOL! But it works out great. She's not a rude,

couldn't care less employee like so many office staff. If I have a

question, she actually grabs him and gets an answer for me. And he

even CALLS my house about 5:30 p.m. with lab results when they come

in. Unbelievable! His Momma done good! Just thought I'd share.

Yahoo does that a lot with long links. Try this - www.tinyurl.com .

I think we may be on to something here! :0) Lets get together a list of doctors

who have mothers who participate in their practice! Then if they don't behave we

can sic mommy on them. )
