I've been to a doctor's office five days out of the past two weeks.

I fainted after they stuck this needle in me. Then I had to go to another place for taking more blood... Then I had to come back to have another needle... And back again in a month for more... And then five months after that.

I do not like drilling in the back of my mouth and my filling is still sensitive.

They said that I didn't need glasses when I know I do. Then they gave me drops in my eyes so that I couldn't read or focus on anything close up for the next four hours.

Doctors... Are they really worth it?

Can't say I am a fan of needles either! Hope everything is ok and you don't have to make a trip back there any time soon.

Golly Morgan,

I too hope you are feeling better soon. Can't really give you my opinions on Dr.'s I suppose for some they are a godsend for me, I have no need for them...thank goodness!

I do not have the patience that it takes to sit in those waiting rooms...yuck!

Best wishes for a rapid recovery...

There's nothing physically wrong with me (not to my knowlege anyway, although the lyme test didn't come back yet)... I just need a lot of papers signed to say that.

Get better Morganofmind - get well soon.

The only doctor I ever want to go to (well for us ladies anyway!!!) is an attractive gynochologist with a very shaky hand:-)!!!! - oh so shaky:-)
