And of course I wish you well but lawsuits are not the way to better health.
I see at least 20% of my patients who 'chase' cures when there is none to be had. They spend their last years on earth going from doc to doc since they didn't like the most recent prognosis. "There's always a better doctor" is what I hear. But sometimes even that 'better' doc has the same opinion.

the clinical evidence was obvious and contrary and over a period of 10 months showing continued growth....sorry, he was incompetent and the 'overseeing physician' was irresponsible. Doctors aren't special the are just people with specialized education, some are good, some are excellent and some are just plain terrible. I am an informed patient and don't chase cures, I have an incurable condition that has caused me more troubles than I would wish on any five people. One would have to be a moron to stick with a bad doctor, what happens when that 'better' doctor shows how your life was put at risk by the prior one? As for lawsuits, every professional is subject to suit when their service results in damage to their client or his business, over time it helps to weed out the incompetents!
