@tsc - I believed and still do believe that I have/had excellent doctors. I live in the Dallas area and have seen Baylor Scott and White doctors, University of Texas Southwestern doctors (a major teaching and research hospital system in the US), and I even consulted with Cleveland Clinic doctors through their National Consulting Services and not a one of them ever mentioned that there could be a relationship between PMR and anemia. I have told most of my doctors that if I fired every doctor that disappointed me I would have no doctor. It is things like this that simply prove that they may be smart but not perfect.
