This post I wrote was buried in another thread, but I thought you all should
see it. No offense to all the good, kind, caring doctors in the world, and
especially those who volunteer their valuable time if they participate in a
newsgroup, or any other forum (which is greatly appreciated)...Pete

jrh...How in the world would you ever get a doctor to agree with what you
recommended below. He or she would dismiss you and toss you out on your
ear. My new primary doctor, who I just asked for prednisone (and he
refused - it's in one of my posts above) immediately sent me a certified
letter saying he was dropping me and didn't even give me a reason why (my
heart fell to my feet, since I am already totally distraught with my current
prostatitis problem). I immediately called his office, and after insisting
to talk to him (it is very rare if you can get a doctor to talk to you on
the phone anymore), he got on the phone and told me he dropped me because he
thought I was trying to force him to give me the prednisone against his
training. I humbly apologized and begged for his forgiveness (because I
really did like him) and he agreed that it is was a misunderstanding and
said he would forget the certified letter and keep me as a patient. I have
to have a primary (in case I get bronchitis, etc.), and I just lost my other
one since he left his practice, and I can't take any more doctors right now.

I thought this new primary doctor (only been to him 3 times - foreign decent
but spoke good English, and very friendly) was the nicest doctor I have ever
been to, and I told him that during our first meeting. I have been to over
75 doctors in my life and most of them are prima donnas, who won't call you
by your first name and you are just a chart to them, and who don't respect
your right to study or research your disease, and they will dismiss you
quickly if you are not careful how you word things to them, especially
anything that may imply you know more than they do). This new doctor was
not like that - he called me Peter when he came in the room and we had a
very relaxed talk and he said the patient always comes first when I told him
you have to be able to communicate with your doctor, and he said the patient
has every right to study their disease or condition. So I really liked this
guy and I felt I lucked out. So you can imagine how I felt when I got the
certified letter, especially after having the worst time of my life with
this prostatitis problem. Anyway I salvaged it, which means he must be a
pretty good guy (most doctors would never reverse their decision if they
dropped you, and most people would not want to go back anyway - but that is
not the case here). I have been dropped by doctors, and dropped other
doctors on my own in the past due to personality conflicts. The bitch is
they all band together in one group (5 or 6 doctors), so when you lose one
you lose them all, and then you may have to go to the nearest city for
another one (especially for the specialists).

My point in writing that long explanation is that there is no way any doctor
in the world would let you come into his/her office and give him/her the
diagnostic procedure you recommended below. First of all they wouldn't do
it themselves- it would have to be done in a hospital/lab environment
probably by some technician, and the doctor would have to spell it out what
to do. How the hell did you have this done and what particular type of
bacteria or fungus or whatever were you looking for and what did they find.
