LOL... "Hi, Honeybutt!" Believe me, I'm going to brace myself next time I see him. I try very hard to be professional during the visits and NOT say what's really on my mind. Believe me, the interaction would be rated "R" for language.

Fact is, when you are a patient, you are really not in the power position. I respect the fact that he's brilliant at surgery etc (he also likes to talk about how brilliant he is, but I've heard it from other sources too, which is why the doc that diagnosed me sent me there)

It's just such a bummer he has poor communication skills. But hey, I feel like I'm getting stronger every day. Yes, I'm grateful, but maybe I'm getting stronger simply because now that I feel better, I'm gaining strength from being "pissed off".... :::giggle:::: perhaps at some stages it's a good indicator that I'm feeling normal emotions again.

Watch out world...
