Went to the doctor today. She was her dry self. I don't get it...why be a doctor if you really do not care what your patient is telling you. I really do not believe she knows a whole lot about DVT/PE anyway. I pretty much feel like her learning patient. .
I tell her the pain is worse now then 7 1/2 months ago,when this all started,and she just loooks at me,no response,just looks. There is majo...1 Recommendation2 Comments -

We don't know ...1 Recommendation5 Comments
