If she couldn't give you figures, she shouldn't have put scary possibilities before you. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, my experience of the medical profession is that they become hardened in order to survive and that makes them very unempathic, unsympathetic and just bloody tactless at times.<BR/><BR/>Not all, but it certainly applies in this case.fairyhedgehoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14141089706966852951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-34358722205072989132008-05-13T20:42:00.000-05:002008-05-13T20:42:00.000-05:00I agree, Stac.

Let's think about it in "lawyer" terms. You talked to the nurse and not the doc right? Maybe it's kinda like talking to a paralegal instead of an attorney? I can't give legal advice, even if I know the concrete and exact answer. Maybe she can't give medical advice???Stac Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00987598916230715360noreply@blogger.com
