Yes, doctors always should be available even at midnight! At least thats how it is here in the US. There is always a doctor on call 24/7/365 no matter what time of day. After the doctors offices close, an answering service will answer calls and in turn call the doctor who will return emergency phone calls. Ive only had to do this a couple times in my life and always had someone call me back within a couple minutes.

We all need help to get thru some of the most difficult things in our lives. Im glad you showed Sue everything we have talked about. OCF's members are the best!!! I had a heck of a time with treatments soon after I joined this group. I was amazed at how perfect strangers quickly turned into some of my best friends and helped me every single step of the way. Im still in touch with those people today, 11 years later. We all have a common bond which makes us like a huge extended family. It takes a village...

We will be here for you both and help you get thru it too smile
