Recuperate with me--I

In this past week I have had about fifteen doctors.  They did not agree with one another, and that wasted valuable time and caused me great discomfort, confusion, and distrust.  But now I am better. Maybe there is safety in numbers.

I'm convinced that it hardly ever happens that a doctor checks your symptoms and says with confidence, "Aha!  You have Globner's Disease! Take this prescription to the pharmacist."  Instead they have to test for all the things it might be, that the HMO will pay for, and hope that the results tell them it MAY be Globner's Disease, and not Natter's Syndrome.  Got to be frustrating for all concerned.
