    Realize they are very busy but it would be helpful to slow down for a minute so we have time to formulate our questions and concerns

    I'm not the doctor he need to call me to exsplain why he came to his conclusion without the test he said was must. But then changed his mind. Not telling the hospital to do the test for an accurate diagnosis. It was him that told me that. But then had them send me home. I have been feeling better last three days . Praying and believing for Gods Healing.
