In need of a good doctor.

[Ducky]

Sure there is a post around here of my story if you haven't read it here is a quick run down:
16 year old, 5'8, 71kg, very bad periods, crippled for 2 weeks a month, 400mg of tramadol a day, Confirmed PCOS 15 left ovary, 16 right. Suspected endo.

Either way, I need a surgeon. I am struggling with money due not being able to work and not being able to get disability payment because of the fact it can be fixed in two years.
I need a doctor who is still very good and can do it cheap. I know it's a long shot, but I need something. I can't live with this pain and being on so much drugs any more.

Yeah, I am. I've had to start having a period once a month instead of every 3 because of the pain just gets too bad. I'm going public, but that only gets the cost down for some aspects. My GP is still unsure about putting me on Endone, but because of my asthma medication we need to be careful which is really sucky.

Hi
Have you seen the team at the Royal Womens hospital at Randwick.
The Endo Gyn team are great and you can go public.
I went down to see them and then went to my local gyn (gave him the report) and got him to do the lap/hysteroscopy. All you need is a ref from your GP.
They have their own web page if you want to check them out. Prof Vancaillie and his team are wonderful.

Hope I have helped
Take care
Chris

Chris, how much does their head surgeon cost as well as anesthesiologist?
