Hi @agmoore, I'm sorry you had to live through that, sometimes some physicians stick with one diagnosis, or in your case one etiology, and become blind to other alternatives. It can be hard to keep an open mind because it implies that one sometimes may be wrong, but one should always strive for the truth, unfortunately some prefer to defend their mistakes even when lives are at play. We're seeing it right now on a daily basis with many supposed cures for Covid-19.
May I ask, what is your condition? Have you had any other manifestations?
