[quote=gpk101]Spoke w/doc yesterday-ranted, raved and generally showed my ass. Doc was a but concerned but agreed That all in all, all is well. Even got a smile out of him regarding me and the nurse being lifelong pals as long as I don't have to deal with her again-ever. Am trying to get them to do cultures-want to know if infection is gone yet. Still killing 'em kindly but I suspect they think I'm up to SOMEthing! [/quote]

Ah, you're a man after my own heart!

This is easy advice to give, and hard to follow; but I suggest that you start keeping good notes every time you have an appointment, and when something like this happens again, start immediately to kick ass and take names. Report incompetent treatment like this to as high a level as possible and let the devil take the hindmost!

Good on ya, mate!
