I went to see Doctor #5 today regarding my chest pain. This time a Thoracic Surgeon. He asked me a series of questions, asked me to point to where I was hurting and then told me that he wasn't the Doctor I needed to see. He too wants to "pass me off" to someone else. This time a Rheumatologist. He said they are the ones who handle "freaky inflammation". He also said this kind of Doctor could explain why I had Acute Pancreatitis and also the Bell's Palsy. All of which are "unexplainable" by the Doctors I've seen here in Texas. On a good note: he did give me a different medication that he claims is a "miracle drug" and it should take care of my problem in one to two weeks. If it doesn't then I should go see Doctor #6. I'm crossing my fingers!

No, you're not a freak, doctors just don't know as much as we think they know. That's all. They'll eventually figure it out.
Sorry Dr. B couldn't be of more help.
