Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Let's improve the care of IBS!

I am writing a letter to the GI department at the hospital where I received my "diagnosis" of IBS. I feel that my doctors committed all the "Seven Deadly Doctor IBS Sins" that Heather recently listed in the newsletter: http://www.helpforibs.com/news/newsletter/09/082509.html#askheather

I also think that I needed everything that was said in "what IBS patients need but don't get from their doctors" http://www.helpforibs.com/news/newsletter/06/050206.html#askheather

and I certainly DID NOT get it... at all.

I am going to submit an anonymous letter to the department, not singling out any doctor but explaining the need for improvement in the ability to provide quality compassionate care to IBS patients.

Who's with me? If you had an unpleasant experience with your GI doctor, maybe you could do the same and we will be one step closer to improving care for people suffering from IBS.
