Eileen, I can see a doctor wanting to be sure all your meds are really necessary, though it seems to me that would be more the job of your primary care doc, but why you ahd to explain what each one was for to him is beyond me. And then he tells you he doesn't want to do the surgery--I can see why you reacted with tears. If the arteries on both sides are blocked, surely trying something is better than just waiting for the worst!!! Good for you for doing the MRI. The first time I had one, I freaked out about the mask a little too but compared to the OC mask, that mask is extremely roomy.

I really hope you get some good answers from the surgeon tomorrow and, if not, that you can go somewhere else and get another opinion.
