He has no opinion on curing you because he hasn’t a clue about modern medicine.

Three weeks ago I had some tests during which I kept waking up in severe pain. Inadequate sedation?? At my follow up 3 wks later, he told me with no exam, I had a bacterial infection in my stomach and put me on antibiotics. Seems if he saw this during the procedure, he would have put me on meds then. I had no problems before the procedure, after the procedure I had stomach pain and nausea non-stop for the three weeks until my apt. I'm thinking a possible stomach perforation as the cause of the infection??

Has limited office hours, therefore, waiting time is fairly high.
