You are awesome. Awesome to go through that, and come through it, and awesome to share your story. I'm glad you found out about the follow-up path report and got the treatment you needed, despite the dr.'s not being very helpful. I'm glad that things are good now, and that they keep going that way.

My dad was self-employed; this was as close to socialized medicine as you could get in the area where we lived. We were not doctor going people, but when we did, we'd see any doctor that was available.

Doctors (speaking for about 60% of them) have egos that are nothing short of rock star-ish. They keep their own hours, have the personality of a dock worker, and make snap judgments on everything from the proper way to chart to a terminal diagnosis. And questioning their decisions will only piss them off.
