2. Yes, after many years of trying,

I finally feel REALLY good about all of my doctors-
My GP, my PD, my dentist AND I have the BEST gyn in the world!
I feel VERY fortunate indeed.

What I really like about my GP is he is extremely knowledgable in many areas!
RARE in a GP.
He always seems to find the problem with in 15 minutes and never
does testing that is unrelated to his diagnosis.

I had a pinched nerve on a rib this year-
thought I was having a heart attack!

Another doctor in the practice saw me- she is gone now...yay.
NEVER even touched the area of pain-
She sent me for an MIR, a catscan, and other tests-
NO relief. No diagnosis.

I went back and they told me she was gone!
NO notification, no follow up.
They put me with this new doctor and turned my records over to him

He examined me, as in touched the area in question-
diagnosed the pinched nerve in 5 minutes- identified the
location- gave me shot in my back and I had relief in 15 minutes.

I had to go back for one more shot a few months later, but
so far, no relapse- AND he told me what was causing the pain
and how the particular shot was breaking up the "clusters" as he referred to them.

Same thing happened today- he took one look at my face and diagnosed
correctly what was wrong.

I am SO fortunate to have found him.
