As with most everyone elses, responses, I've had all my follow ups with Dr. Mo.  If you have to play hardball, then do so.  Remind him that you can take your case elsewhere, if need be...he ain't the only show in town.  I had to do that with one of my former cardiologists.  I tried the be patient approach, but when that didn't work, I simply pointed out that other people would be very happy to make a buttload of money off of me & treat me waaaay better.  He changed his attitude....at least towards me.  Sometimes we have to get a bit firm, to remind them that they are treating PEOPLE, not just signs & symptoms.

Now....got 'em, Tiger!!!

Hugs!

I just got back from my office visit with my primary care physician.  She is pulling no punches.  She has requested my complete record of my surgery and my ER visit and she took a lot of labs.  I will go back to her in one week and she said I can call her anytime and she will get me in that day.  She said Pancreatitis is serious and she was glad that I came in.  She refilled my presciptions and I am good to go.  Thanks again for allowing me to vent and for the support!

When you get to his office, find out where he parks, and cut his tires!!!

Excuse the hijack, but Ken, how's it feel to be down almost 100 lbs?  Time for a new avatar, eh??  Good job!

Hugs!

Feels great, just looking each day to hit the magic 100, but it has been a 1 - 2 lb daily roller coaster for a couple of weeks.

I asked my buddy to take a photo the other day, but got tied up. My wife doesn't do well with the camera. Hope to have a new avatar up soon.
