KG2V, Glad to hear you're recovering from the problem. Hope you will be able to return to work soon. If I were you, I'd consider changing physicians. Sounds to me like this guy isn't thinking straight. If they noticed abnormal blood values in November and chose not to address the issue until late December something in his thought process is skewed. Maybe it's just me, but, I am used to aggressive doctors who would have immediately investigated the first findings. Bset wishes for a speedy recovery.
