What to do about the GI conundrum?

An experienced GI doctor will be used to the difficulties in their field. They know exactly how hard it is to properly diagnose, treat, etc. all the GI diseases so I wouldn't worry too much about that. Since you have already been to the GI groups, they should have your chart, know what you've been through/going through etc. You are their paycheck so don't lose site of the fact that you have rights as a patient. I know thats a mixed emotion for you since you are going to be a doc but I know that you will be a good one so mute point. I basically would just go and tell them that everything is acting up again.

BTW... I have a question for you since you have had every test known to man... have you had an indium scan and whats it like? I go for one in a couple of weeks to monitor the location and severity of my UC. :)

Yep thats the one... I'm kind of freaked out about them "tainting" my blood and injecting it back in. Sounds neat but still kind of uneasy about it. Thoughts of hepatitis, HIV, etc. just started giving me the shudders. I know that they are all professionals and stuff so that calms me down but anxiety disorders will play some mean tricks on the mind ya know?

Thanks... I wonder why they haven't done this test on you ???
