A lot of us are guilty of "flaming doctors on the board( myself included). There is a lot of unanswered frustration with the medical society in general because a lot of people are not getting the help they need or they can not afford the prescriptions etc.,in dealing with an incredible amount of pain on a daily basis, day after day, year after year, sufferers are losing faith that they will ever be cured... the list goes on. At best, clusterheads deal with an incredible amount of emotional and physical ups and downs (yes,emotional too - I'd say from reading the many posts here that it is a safe bet that the mechanism that triggers our pain also triggers some heavy duty mood swings which explains a lot of the "flaming tendancies)The point is that from my viewpoint, the doctors become the scrape goat for all the anger resulting from unresolved frustation.
Having said this, for all the doctors out there who are trying to help, I apologize for putting you all in the same basket(with the bad eggs) and generalizing my frustration with those bad eggs.
