Ain't that the truth...maybe we should have a poll about that....how many have or have not felt that way at some point.
My last visit with a 'specialist' ended when he said that "pain is not a reason for surgery".
Reeeeeeally! What the heck are the requirements? Pain isn't glamorous enough for the hospital administration, my PM doc said one day. One poor fellow tried to kill himself with a cross bow, she said, which finally got him enough attention to get him some help.
Why does it have to go so far?
