7. A few years ago my wife almost died due to a ruptured appendix.

We knew we had to get a different opinion when her doctor was convinced that she had Malaria... As a result of the delay of the proper treatment, she had to have a full hysterotomy along with the appendectomy.

I have recently had a skin issue. My primary care doctor referred me to a specialist. So far, I have had three visits to the office, and I haven't seen a doctor yet....After nine months and a lot of guesswork, my condition has not improved. The nurse practitioner that I have been seeing is very young and pretty, which I guess is something.
