Hey guys... first off lemme tell you about this week. I have the cold. It's not just ANY cold... it's an absolutely terrible one. I have never been this miserable from a cold. Any of you realize that when you already feel like crap 24/7, catching a cold like this is just a slap to the face?
However on the bright side, my 19th birthday is coming up and one of my brothers in the UK, Ste', got me a Wii and let me open it early!!! Can you believe it?! Unfortunately I really overworked myself with it and now I'm in a looooot of pain x.x But ZOMG I love it and my brother soooo much! :heart:
ANYWAY. My whole point of this post is because I realized that we always talk about what doctors have done wrong. Today I had an experience that made me think, maybe I should make a thread about the good doctors that are out there. I put it in the venting section so people can read it when having bad days :smile:
So I woke up this morning with Pink Eye. :temp: I went to the doctor's office, and met Dr. Brennan. He had noticed that vicodin was on my chart so of course he asked me why. So I tried to explain EDS to him and he looked really skeptical. He left the room to write out my script, and when he came back in he told me all about the eye ointment and stuff. After that he suddenly had a lot of curiosity about my EDS... started asking questions like which joints do what and if my skin is affected. Turns out that while he was writing the script he also took the time to do a little research on EDS. He also asked about my mom's EDS and asked if I know other people with it. I told him about EDS Kids and he told me that it was awesome and stuff like that. I know all that seems rather simple, but when you mostly see horrible doctors, it's such a breath of fresh air to meet one like that, y'know?
What about you guys? Any positive experiences that left an impact on you?
