i would be asking the doctors some serious questions about why it took so long to get you on the right stuff.
I (at the time) was considered to be allergic to penicillin but mostly
it happend because I didn't see the doctors on my first two visits-
I was seen by their Physician's Assistants, who would relay their observations to the attendings, who would consult the specialists, who would make their recomendations over the phone or through another PA- believe me, I felt like I was being treated through Wikipedia. They all just gave me an anti-biotic that was safe.It was'nt until I saw my doctor-who took the time to look it up in a book- that I was given the correct antibiotic to treat the specific bacteria.On my third visit, I made a stink with the P.A.'s and insisted that the doctors see me in person before I'd sign any releases.
By seeing them in person and having them consult with my regular doctor, the whole thing was resolved to where I am now. A day late and a dollar short but healing.......
Thanks for all the well wishes, see you in the late season.
PS-
about the cat-
He had to be quarrantined for two weeks and worked with before he'll be placed for adoption. He was terrified and bit out of fright-with good reason. The last time he was put in a carrier a year and a half earlier, they pulled his claws and cut his nuts off. What would you do?
