I had to use drastic words to get my doctor to listen. After several years of problems, I finally told him I was sure I was dying, and I needed REAL HELP! I demanded that he do some tests or I was going to find a Dr. who would.
So he sent me for test, then I found a GI Dr. and I did find out what the problem was, and learned that I have had the problem for more than a few years. How about 5?
After trips to the hospital and efforts to correct the problem, I was sent to a liver specialist who knew how to take care of the problem.
Now that all this is resolved and I am beginning to feel like living again, I plan to find a new Doctor. My Primary Care physician just does not have his heart in his work. I think he is suffering from burn-out.
Hello New Year and Hello New Doctor.
