I'm glad you're at least still in the land of the living.

Sad to say I learnt the hard way to challenge doctors diagnosis if I was unsure. E.g. last one was I had trouble breathing, every breath felt like I was breathing strong chemical-like fumes, and it was getting worse Told the doctor and she said it was heart burn. What?? No definitely heartburn she said. After repeatedly telling her I disagreed because I knew what heartburn was and this wasn't it, she relented and sent me for tests. Turned out I had a respiratory infection. Took 3 different types of antibiotics before it went and of course a lot of bike rest (ahem!). Both my parents were taken to hospital with issues. Both wrongly treated and both died in hospital, my mum as a direct result of an overdose of the wrong medication. I'll not go into any more details on that, but, you know your symptoms, I really wish gdogg was an isolated case.
