Dang, dang, dang!!! I got a copy of my PCP's letter to my surgeon today. An eight year old could have written it better. Wrong syntax, missing words, three different verb tenses that made NO sense, the phrase (I kid you not) "and various types of printed diets". Please let my insurance reviewer be kind, or they will think someone is trying forgery. I feel like asking my PCP if his secretary "gradiated from the 4th grade" yet. ARGH!

Dang Lynn! There are about a 1,000 doctors offices you need to visit and clue in 10 times that many nurses and doctors. I can't tell you how many times people write on the message board cause they are hurt and upset by some nurse or doctor giving them that exact same speech your nurse tried on you. You corrected a lot of ignorance that day and probably saved many other patients many tears and hurt feelings. I think you did great. BRAVA! :)
