Sandy,

I also live in California. It was in California that I was " detained " by the

sheriffs and questioned for my use of the handicap placard. Please be careful

using your husbands placard. They will take it away from you and you will not

get it back. They will also fine you and it is a misdemeanor to use it if it is

not yours. I received my placard because the pancrease pain makes me short of

breath. Try that approach to get your own placard. It is not worth the fine or

the misdemeanor if you get caught.

PS

The district attourney in our area (Ventura County) says they are really

cracking down it because there is so little crime here that they have to enforce

it to get funds in county's coffers.

Kaye,

definitely sounds like this lady is on a serious power trip over her

patients. Definitely get rid of this woman. And she can't over rule any

Advanced Directive that you give (ie. Advanced instructions on your

care if you are unable to make you wishes known at that particular time,

though you probably already know that. I'd definitely have some written

up and have it put in your medical record). You have my prayers that

you find a better doctor as soon as possible.
