I've been dealing with similarly clueless folk in the medical system, only instead of it being the clinicians and their assistants, it's the insurance drones....The situation is basically getting a certain drug that would be REALLY helpful right now, but I can't get.
Although, I've had one problem....the doctor I saw referred me back to my neurologist I've had all my life. Well, the maximum age he sees anymore is 21. He's one of the few neurologists, let alone doctors, in the Roanoke Valley that knows jack shit about neurofibromatosis. So now, I'm searching around the valley for a neurologist that knows at least SOMETHING about neurofibromatosis, so I can get my headaches and back pain checked out, in case it's actually something...you know...serious.
*sigh*
