Episode # 1 "New Year, New Doctor" 2006 Season of

As The Tonsil Falls.

Well, I went to a new neurosurgeon today. I am going to nickname him "Mr.D" since he was featured a couple of times in D Magazine as one of the best doctors in Dallas. I took all my films and he listened to my symptoms. I really liked him.

He did agree with the previous two neurosurgeons that I had seen that my condition is just not bad enough for surgery. That was the reassuring opinion that I was looking for.

Next, he really made me feel better when he looked at the Excel Spreadsheet I had brought that listed all of the medications that I have been on since August. He looked at the list, looked at me, looked back at the list and said point blank, "How in the world are you functioning?" To which I replied "Not very well."

Since I don't need surgery we have to find me another doctor. He told his nurse to send my paperwork over to another doctor that he works with. I have to get my medical history files from "TheDrugDealer" sent to that office before they will let me make an appointment.

The new doctor, nickname to follow, "Mr.D" said was known as the headache doctor of Dallas. "Mr.D" said that he would personally call the new doctor that he is sending me to see and tell him his findings and that the number of drugs I am on needs to go down.

I'm glad "Mr.D" realizes that something in my medical plan needs to change and it sounds like he's willing to help me change it. I just know I cant go thru another week of migraines like last week.
