Guest guest Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 RH I have found that some doctors will say things that anger you so that you leave them and go elsewhere. My father has had more than one doctor send him a letter saying they could no longer see him because they cannot provide him with what he wants. I think they only have to say why. He is a very difficult patient and judges every doctor through his eyes on a single visit when the doctor still doesn't know him. laurie > > Reply-To: > Date: Sun, 03 Oct 2004 06:00:31 -0000 > To: > Subject: Re: For Adam > > >> My Gp and metabolic doc were delighted...

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 I had a PCP say he wouldn't see me after the mito dx. The funny thing is, he was the one that gave me the referral to get the biopsy looking for mito. He told me that he was only humoring me and never expected me to be right. ohgminion wrote: > > >>My Gp and metabolic doc were delighted...
