Becky, I am so pleased that you are finally satisfied with the team you have tailored-made to fit. This is very important for our body/mind quality of life. This is a very powerful post to all and this should be kept deep in the vaults of our minds. We hire these doctors to tend our recovery and rely on them for the professional knowledge and advice they offer. The patient is the one who does the rest of the work. If we hired a gardener to take care of our gardens and they were not doing the job we are paying them for, surely we would look for another gardener! Bottom line is we are their boss and are helping to pay for their mortgage; we hired them and we can fire them as easily. I do not have a problem paying a doctor if he is doing what he was hired to do. It is important for me to know that I searched for the best team around. With saying that I must mention it would be one less regret if and when something happens (to Ed).

Again, I am so happy to hear that Becky is finally content with her team. You have been toying with things for some time now. Currently you reap the rewards of that contentment and you deserve it. I have to say that I love the response you gave to the other doctor. I love that you are educated and well researched and this has helped you in that quest.

We also must remember that this is all about us, right?>>Believe51

PS: In the beginning I used to get worried I would hurt some doctors feelings if they differed from ours or our wishes. Quickly I realized that it is not my job, nor responsibility to worry about their feelings. (ex: seeking another opinion, etc)
