It's amazing how many inept medical professionals are out there & conversley, how many awesome, astute professionals there are.
So true. That reminds me of something a dear family friend of ours used to say. He was a retired surgeon (and a highly regarded one). He used to say, "Do you know what they call the person who graduated last in his class at medical school? DOCTOR." Just because they have the MD after their names doesn't mean they're really good at practicing medicine. That's why we have to be our own advocates, or (as in Patti's situation) have a trustworthy person acting as your advocate when you're unable to.
I hope each day continues to bring even more progress so that the "woods" get thinner and thinner, and she's soon out of them completely and on a clear road to a full recovery!
