Candace,

I'm surprised you didn't deck the guy right there; you have way more will power and self-control than I could ever muster. What a jerk this guy is!

I understand that you may have decided to put up with him because you feel that's best for your son. That's your decision and you have every right to make that decision.

But you also have every right to fire this guy and find a doctor who knows how to treat patients and caregivers with respect.

He's your son, your his Mom, it's your decision. You're the boss. Don't ever let anyone tell you any different. Even if he is smart and good looking.

Take care!

Greg
