The Doctor's.....

When you see your doctor; what do you say to yourself? are you comfortable? does he or she listen to you? what is your gut telling you...

I have had some not so good experiences with Dr.'s in the past...but today was the day I told mine, that I felt she was the best Doctor ANY one could have, and that I felt like I was the luckiest person on the planet to have her. ( I was encased with a wonderful hug i needed) and hopefully she to, needed it :)

I often find myself in the doctor's office on a fine geriatric day, hoping that when I arrive, I am welcomed to break up the monotony. Am I there so often, well, no, but...If you know about my sister Stephanie's experience, you to would be 'paranoid" over things that are probably OK.  Speaking of OK, that is one department my Doctor often states to me, Its OK...Its OK....really, she means its OK if i come in here a dozen times to see her just to be check for "just in case"....(really, i am footing the bill) so why not..I love my Doctor.

Stephanie was given a referral to see a psychiatrist because she complained so much about back pain, rib pain, hip pain, etc etc...its in her head, myofacial pain (muscle pain) and also referred her to see a physical therapist ??  really??  They WOULD NOT order an MRI !  how simple!  she is RN....she is no dummy!

As she collapses in pain, she gets her MRI that they would not do or think to do (oh and blood work!) they did not do that either!  back to the MRI, they found her spine lit up like a Christmas tree !!  4 broken vertebrae in her spine full of tumors stemmed from Breast cancer. AT THE AGE OF 30. Whoa?? did you hear that?? that's why, they said she was to young....why would they ever check that..

I am here to make it clear, it does, and Traveling pants is making its way around the country to make this point ...Life...Priceless....
