Thank you very much for your reply, it is encouraging.
Regarding the doctor telling me to get a second opinion threw me off as I have not heard of a doctor suggesting the same. Since I cannot get a second opinion from Sutter Hospital anywhere in Sacramento, Davis, Roseville, Auburn or other areas nearby, I will contact the doctor in San Francisco who is doing the study. I am simply exhausted from whatever is going on with me and also having to contact so many people just to get the right treatment. The MCRP was especially stressful as Medtronic had to ship me a new control device because the representative had locked the device when he programmed it after my recent surgery to remove and replace the device which enabled me to finally get the exam. It took a long time for the technicians to contact the representative and get the device programmed for the MCRP so that I could finally have the exam.
I thank you for your interest and comments. The medical system needs to go back to "slow medicine" per my OB/GYN, but she does not see this happening any time soon and that is a sad thing. I will keep you apprised.
