You know one of the things that some Drs. do is if they can't make alot of money off your case then they don't fool with you and in my case this Dr did just that he didn't do anything about it he just gave me a read out on them and that's it, guess it wasn't one of his top priority's. But I am going to ask another Dr about it. I hope everyone else had better luck than that.
But again the test itself is easy.

Terry,
I dissagree, I had a doctor see me and treat me one time. I was very sick with my crohns at the time loosing weight and my hair. I didn't go back to see him for a good 4 or 5 months because we couldnt afford to see him. We didn't have insurance at that time. We went back for the fear of me dying. He then waved his fee. He waved his fee for the rest of the time he was my doctor. (we moved 4 yrs later) Even after we got insurance he waved his fee. He got me feeling better. He never made me pay for medicine either. He got me samples and even paid for my remicade treatments, out of his pocket. He was a wonderful man and I give thanks for him every day.I think there are wonderful doctors out there, you just have to find one. Since moving I have had to go to three doctors to find one that listens to me. Its like a puzzle you have to find the right fit. I hope your new doctor will listen to you and give you the attention that you need.

Not bad at all,tired of it 1. I've had a number of them over the years (both with and without colonoscopy). The first ones were bad (20 yrs ago), but so much better now. Last one was a breeze. You'll do well Really!!

Melanie,

You're right not all Doctors are like this, just so happened this one was. My old regular Dr was very nice about it all and tried to help, but this one is (was) a gastro Doctor. I expected more out of him.
