AuntieMel -
That is precisely what I did even
before I read your post! Thanks for
the reinforcment! I guess I drive
the operators out there nuts, but
hey, this is MY body and MY pain!
I'll let you know what transpires.
Oh I forgot to mention, the other
fly in the ointment is that they always
make you go through a nurse first
(ie ,I leave the message with the
operator, who leaves it with the nurse,
who gives it to the doctor, who then
tells the nurse to see what I want or
to tell me the answer, and then has
the nurse call me!!! Occasionally, if
I INSIST, the doc will call me directly.
but it is always after five pm.I hate to sound like such a complainer, but the folks on this board are so good and supportive!!
Thanks again, Mama
