6/18/2007My pulmonologist called today. He is going to schedule an appointment for me with a doctor who teaches at the local medical school. He is supposedly some asthma genius. I really don't think I need another doctor. I have pretty well figured out that I'm very sensitive to irritants that I'm exposed to at work. With my retirement I'm pretty sure that my asthma will improve significantly.to tell the truth, I'm not real keen on going through another series of tests. (I'm such a wimp!!) I reallllly don't want another methacholine test. I had a very bad reaction the last time I took this and was hypersensitive for about a month. Oh well, another day, another doctor. Now I wait for my appointment with the new guy. (Sigh!!)I'm still feeling OK but I am tired of doctors and tests. Sorry about my gripe session.Be well,tom

I hate damned doctors and I wouldn\'t go if Andrew didn\'t make me. I think they do far too many invasive tests that aren\'t warrented. I say if it\'s not broken, don\'t fix it.
Amen!!
