Now I like that idea, "healthy hypochondriac". Me too. Took me 18 months of temper tantrums (imagine that - from a 67 year old 'lady'), insistence and standing my ground to finally be given an appointment with a respiratory physician.
How I wish I could find that idiot doctor, who was at our town hospital some 18 months ago, who told me that I had "emotional asthma, because I had treatment for BC," just to stick it up him.
Unfortunately he was a another Fly In Fly Out doctor. Definitely a seagull that one - you know - fly in, s**t all over us locals, then fly out.
