Yes I chose to live in the middle of no where. We were able to sell our place in florida with a huge mortgage and buy our place outright here, no mortgage. So ..... That part is wonderful and people here are generally very nice. Where I go for my Pdoc and T .. well they are amazing.
I think I am just tired of life and the complications of it all. I can't remember the last time I was pain free ...I know it's over 4 years ago ! ! There is no relief for me, I just have to suck it up and deal with it and the constant sucking up and dealing with it ... is getting very old and pointless.

Yes, there are many, many god complex docs and I fully believe it's because people treat them like their word is law.
I can tell you for a fact that a large number of doctors are complete idiots. Most of them are very knowledgable in one area but that doesn't mean they know jack squat about anything else. That's why I really hate this whole Dr. Oz kick sweeping the nation. He may be a brilliant heart surgeon, but when it comes to everything else, he's blowing smoke and just stating opinions, not facts.
Working in healthcare has really opened my eyes to exactly how clueless many doctors are on many things: important things that could really mess up your health and body that people rely on them to know. It's frightening.
Hang in there, sis. Have hope that it will fade quickly. I still say you should report him for his comments, though. That was rather unprofessional.
