I share your sentiments about doctors. Also, today I asked my primary care doctor if research was being undertaken to find a cure for neuropathy and he said yes it is being done. Then, why do we never hear about it? We do learn of other areas of research for other diseases. Are we a forgotten group? It sure seems that today's doctors have almost zero bedside manners. If anything, I come out of these doctors visits more troubled than before I went in. I seem to get better support and info from this support group.
