As are the brains of 29 people.

29 and counting.

That's a series of unfortunate events.

Ah yes, I'm watching that now. Genius

.... He died.

....It's lupus. :(

Absolutely. When I first read this FML I kept scanning the comments to check whether DocBastard had posted a reply.

It's down there at #38. It's very humbling to know my opinion (well, my medical opinion, at least) is held in such high regard.

I knew you wouldn't let us down, Doc! I find your blog to be quite interesting, so, I guess you can say I am a bit biased in your favor. :D

*scrolls down to the 38th comment*

Now Doc just needs a uniform (complete with a mask and cape) and a call-sign thingy (like Batman) :D

You are in fact an idiot. Doing that is the same as taking normal amounts of both and still cancel each other out.

You took it waaay too seriously.

No your just an idiot. Now you're gonna rant about how you were kidding or something so you dont sound as dumb.

I don't know whats more ironic. The fact you used the wrong tense of your to call me an idiot. Or the fact you think it's more likely I did a math equation with a solution being "heavily medicated," than made an AWFUL joke.

So you're suggesting a cardiologist, a neurologist, and just out of curiosity what would the third specialist be? Otolaryngologist? Sounds expensive already...

Did I say three specialists who specialize at three different things? Umm no.

I wasn't trying to bash your advice, just clarify it. I'll repeat, I was just curious. Didn't want to offend you, and I apologize if I did, wow

#20 i read your comment and thought your username should be part of it. OP, that's some f'd up situation you in, hope you get better.

No worries. I have met some seriously bad doctors and always get three opinions now.

Unfortunately that can be true sometimes, so knowing what you meant now I definitely agree. Obtaining a second or even third opinion is good advice if you're not comfortable with your primary care physician.
