Abso-fuckin-lutely, Allyson.
Shrift, I'm sorry about the neck and general duck pecking.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Now tagless for your comfort.
If a doctor visit leaves me feeling humiliated and like I never want to see a doctor again, I should write a letter to my HMO, correct?
Hell, yes.

Y'damn skippy. Is it your regular PCP or a specialist? Me, I wrote to the doctor I'd seen and cc'ed the insurance company and my PCP. Okay, not much came from it, but I felt better.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Did your doctor treat you better the next time?

Did your doctor treat you better the next time?
Well, since I was writing about how poorly I'd felt I was being treated by her office staff and that I felt my time had been wasted by not one but two appointments at which nothing happened, I actually went ahead and got another specialist. But my PCP said the doctor in question had felt just awful about it!

Allyson, is it a group practice? Can you switch doctors? DH did this--and made sure to tell the doctor why he was switching.

Definitely, Allyson.
msbelle, I hope you get safely to wherever you're going.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Strange definition of "allies", there.

Can you switch doctors?
Yep! I was on hold for awhile but it turns out that yes, I can switch doctors and if I'd like to file a complaint, I can do so by phone, writing, or in person. I choose in person.
I'm mad at myself for being too discombulated to say anything at the time it was happening.

That got me, too. Which academics are the natural allies of ID? The ones that don't rely on scientific facts?
