Stress to the new doctor that giving a thorough history of problems/treatments is very important to you. If the doc sits and listens to your story w/few interruptions, if he says he needs some time to review all prior medical records, if he does NOT try to give you a quick fix, then he just might be worth trying out.<BR/><BR/>I will be praying for you on Thursday. My husband has a doctor's appointment that day too. Praying will be a fruitful way to spend the time in the waiting room.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8892190.post-1168454427998319782007-01-10T12:40:00.000-06:002007-01-10T12:40:00.000-06:00Yeah, I know what you mean, Saija.

Fortunately one of the other partners took over Roger's care.<BR/><BR/>It can be scary for sure.

I will pray that this will be so, seeing the doctor can be such a drain -- multiple interviews for Leo wouldn't be a good thing, hopefully just the one will be all he needs.
