Can I just say that I really like our GI doc?
She gets it ... she knows I'm not trying to offend, or go overboard with questions/articles, or overstep into "doctor" territory ... in her words - "you are not trying to challenge me".
Lol - at this point I don't think my research tendencies are going away - so best probably to acknowledge, control, and make sure our styles don't clash. I told her - just tell me if I'm getting carried away.
She put me at ease that questions and my involvement in my dd's health were welcome. In her words, we are a team
. She told me that I have to be comfortable with the treatment plan, that there is some flexibility - there is more than one way to skin a cat.
At the same time, she is the doc ... she mentioned a situation where a patient wanted her to perform a procedure and she refused.
She is very patient and kind, answering questions with a little greater depth for me. She listens and she educates patients.
ETA - I wonder if she likes Star Wars
.... this is too funny (warning - a little language):
"Colon Wars"

Living with Food Allergies, FEB 2013It's so nice when you feel your allergist really knows her stuff, when everything said makes sense, when you feel that you are in good hands. I feel like we are on the same page as far as how to handle things. Definitely worth the drive.
Oh, this makes my day, Links!! I want that for EVERY person at FAS.
and you know what else ... she's kind, and very professional.
Yes, I also wish that for all with FA.
