That's terrible! in my experience there are some people that just should not be involved in the medical profession at all. Compassion goes a long way. I've had some very kind doctors and nurses and I've had some that were very cruel and one I would even go as far to say was sadistic. Once...

That's how it usually goes for me. They always insist on a CT scan. I've had around 7 or 8 in the past 4 months. Luckily I've never had an obstruction. Just very bad inflammation and tons of ulcers. Today I'm still in pain but there's not much I can do, I had some vicodin earlier. Its not like...
