It could be a new thread, the "Complain about Doctors You've Had or Your Friends Have" thread. Don't get me started. They used to blame the parents of autistic children for their condition. The children were picking up "rejection" from the parents. Those poor people. I read a book by the mother of autistic twins. It killed me, what she went through at the hands of doctors. They used to blame ulcers on repressed emotion until some brave doctor gave himself an ulcer with the bacterium helicobacter pylori and cured it with antibiotics. Whatever they don't know anything about is designated as the patients' imagination, it sometimes seems. I've had similar experiences about side effects. For example, I kept telling my doctor that a pill he was prescribing for headache was keeping me awake. He denied it. I happened to mention it to my son, who looked it up in the PDR and reported that one of its ingredients was caffeine. So I told the doctor, who said, "Not very much caffeine." Well, I don't drink caffeinated coffee, or any soda at all, so for me "not very much" was enough to keep me wide awake. I don't think you should take a 3 day suspension so hard, though a feeling of injustice can rankle, I know. Can't you just forget it and post as much as you want to? Maybe the nameless person was having a bad day. They are given a hard time a lot. Easy for me to say, I know. I'm sorry that happened to you.
