Thank you Elizabeth for your well written letter.  I blame our regulators.  The AMA approved the sale.  Shame on them.  Shame on Trillium.  Unfortunately, no amount of disgust, sorrow and frustration will change anything.  I posted yesterday my doctors name and her husband.  They've got their million.  I love my doctor and I'm sorry I failed in my now deleted post to express that.  I'd been w/Dr Mary Pugsley for many years and she always, always made me feel like she really cared.  She listened.  She ordered tests when I needed them.  Never hesitated.

It still stands true however, that beginning 3 years ago, she changed.  The 'fake' physicals where we just chatted.  The concern I had over some new strange symptoms that scared me.  She said "huh, that's not normal" and then sent me on my way w/no information.  She'd changed.  
I'm a good person.  I felt dismissed.  Now?  Learning all of this?  I'm ashamed.  Of her, I feel stupid now thinking it was my fault.  I'm so ashamed of you doc.
