I think this is generally true.  I did take my daughter to a young endo who
was very kind.  Even agreed to move her appointment to an earlier spot in
his schedule when I told him what symptoms she had, because he realized I
was very worried. We had a nice discussion when her results came back and he
took alot of time but the bottom line was, that he had no idea about
anything that couldn't be diagnosed by the labs.  I don't think he is cold
or uncaring, just in the dark about reality as most of them are.  Nancy
