I had 3 different opinions, and they were all different!

Finally getting better quickly as I apparently have the right combination of antibiotics onboard...

My Dad called aging "Life's dirty trick" Get well soon!

Bill, I'm dealing with a similar situation. At present I’m stuck at home until a Thursday P.M. doctor appointment, per the ER doctor on Friday night I’m supposed to restrict all my physical activity until I see the specialist Thursday. This is after a kidney stent was removed last week.

Frustrated with my recovery but more frustrated with the support staff of the doctor,

Sorry to hear of your medical issues; they sure are frustrating, aren't they?

Regarding doctors, nurses, and support staff: I've had one doc in all of this that was fantastic, one lied to me and was very condescending, and the other two didn't agree at all with anybody else. The nurses at the first ER was way beyond fantastic, and as weird as it sounds, I actually hated leaving them and being transferred to the hospital where the ENT was! The thought of seeing them again almost was enough to send me back to that ER over the weekend when the pain got really bad. They were adorably cute, extremely sweet, 100% focused on my needs, and fun as could be to interact with. The nurses at the 2nd hospital sucked donkey balls, with the exception of 2 of them.

Support staff in doctor's offices these days seem to follow the DEI hire scheme of things as they suck also.

Hope you get better soon!
