> Pretty kewl, huh? I only wish you all could have seen her face when we ended this visit. She looked at me as though she knew something I didn't, a joke, and I think it was that I really wasn't as unreasonable as she'd been told. She did tell me some things that I hadn't known, such as that the clinic had sent a note to her boss saying that they were going to transfer me on to them BEFORE the "decision had been made", and that the director of her clinic had had an earful and a half about me from the pdoc for the county. That sort of thing.

Racer,Isn't the first breath of fresh air that makes its way into the fetid black hole a wonderous thing! I'm so pleased you've finally experienced it!
I think the "joke" your new doctor found amusing was the fact that she DIDN'T expect you to be a raving lunatic/harpy. I'll betcha she had *at least* an inkling of what you'd been subjected to by that bunch of "maroons;" and you proved her right with your obvious intelligence and well prepared 'presentation.'
Whatever! You're finally back on the beaten path and, even though you might still stumble along the way, you've now got someone to pick you up, dust you off and keep you heading in the right direction! I don't think there's anyone on this board who isn't elated for you (and I'm sure Dr. Bob will utter a loud "Phew!" when he reads your great news!)
