Doctors

1)My sidewalk was not salted when I left for work. When I got home there was more salt on the sidewalk then needed for all of Village Green...
2)Doctors. When you have a more complex disability like mine, one where not many doctors have heard about it and one that is not that studied, it is hard to get a doctor to actually listen to you. It's hard to get a doctor to sit down, listen to you, run the right tests, and not give you a bunch of garbage. I have had good experiences with doctors. For example, when I was having my asthma attack and I went to Akron General with a good friend my doctor came in and went on and on about how he studied ED in Med School. Knew what to do and sent me on my way. Then I have my bad times like my last ER visit I told you guys about. And then I have times when I have the same re-occuring med. problem only to find out it could be something that no one considered because I am just looking for drugs. Now I find out I may need my gall bladder out when everyone kept telling me I was just a druggie. Wow, thanks, that stays in my medical records for YEARS.
I don't mind a doctor asking me questions. I don't mind anyone asking me questions about disability. As I say, stupidity is a disability and so is ignorance. Don't be afriad to ask ?'s and talk to me. I don't bite.
