Most of them tend to just stick to tried and true treatment efforts that don't work in situations that require more in depth observation into the condition. Oh, and God help you if you suggest something to them that might go against what the believe to be the best treatment for you...especially if that treatment isn't working.<br /><br />In the end, if you have some sort of specific ailment, it's almost easier to get better results by finding a national organization for whatever disorder you have that can recommend decent doctors and outlines the treatment options they offer. Once I moved to a different part of Virginia and started looking for doctors this way, I ended up actually treating what I had and feeling like I was getting better treatment and better results from said treatment. For the most part, I say to hell with DC-area doctors. They know and expect they can get decent money from you and if they keep you coming back, well, that's just more money in their pockets...if they'll actually let you make an appointment."}],"error":"","totPages":1}
