Just remember doctors are like fish and there is a ocean of them. Interview more of them and find one that cares and will work for and with you. When it comes to hospitals bigger isn't always better as you have seen from the ego's you have had to endure and with your hopefully ex-Dr. Sun. Ask for referrals and second opinions as well. Ask the medical association for referrals for your symptoms as well. I have know very many doctors over the years and only a very small hand full of them would be near worthly of being someone I would even call a friend. I wish you the best and pray for you to find a physician that understands your needs and can treat you in a manner that you desereve. Having a condition of my own I understand your feelings as well.

Ugh, I can't believe they'd do that. Seriously, there must be some way to file some sort of complaint. I mean, it's one thing for him to say, "I don't know. I don't know what's wrong." It's completely different for him to lie about it or be arrogant while putting the blame and responsibility on someone else. I understand we're all human, and occasionally we come across a problem we can't solve, but it's not an excuse to follow basic protocol, and it's not an excuse to say, "Don't come back." I'm not making any sense. But this pisses me off. I’d be so pissed. Ugh, I can’t believe they’d do that. Seriously, there must be some way to file some sort of complaint.

Don't let them get away with this, Elea! Take care of yourself, yes, but also this guy should not be able to get away with this. I know this has to be illegal on so many levels.

I'll do anything I can to help. Well, I’m glad you’re clearly getting better enough to properly feel angry. I’ll do anything I can to help.

I would suggest seriously following through on the falsified medical records - that doctor NEEDS to be reprimanded, suspended or otherwise seriously penalized for ... I mean seriously?? Lying on a patient's medical records?! You will get well. It may take an inconveniently long amount of time (and has so far), but you will get better, because I refuse to consider the alternative.

I'm glad Dr. Park was available to meet with you, and I hope that your upcoming Stanford neuro appointment goes better than the last. How many bad doctors are you going to come across before you can find someone competent... :: le sigh :: The damage has been done, and methinks everyone will proceed more cautiously from now on. Much love!!! Absolutely ridiculous how your case has been mishandled in so many ways.

I want to punch that "neurologist" in the face - what a jerk. I think it's a testament to your good nature that you have not yet strangled him. I am still rooting for you over here. Crossing fingers about the blood tests and all that. Elea, I mean this in all seriousness even though it will sound cheesy - YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION AND I ADMIRE YOU.

Reading your Twitters just made me angry about how completely incompetent and negligent your doctors were. I know your priority is to get your health going, but damn, if there's ever an opportunity to sue the pants of these guys, this would be it. That's the thing that gets me: SURELY they know they can be sued out of their profession here, and they STILL treated you like that. It's enough to get the blood boiling. Glad to see you're finally on what seems to be the right medication though, and that you're on your way to recovery. Stick it to them! PS. Also, I love that Kevin couldn't resist a design comment. Hee. Agree with Kevin absolutely. Reading your Twitters just made me angry about how completely incompetent and negligent your doctors were.
