I've been into Lance Burns a couple times had some testing done I know I've got issues and I need to get in soon but his nurse doesn't seem to think so and I can't get past her and I'm having I'm going severe symptoms so that in itself pisses me off that she's playing my symptoms off as nothing and diagnosing over the phone so that's a problem!
