I have been rejected by all specialists in my hometown. I moved back to Rockhampton from my major capital city of Melbourne early last year. I am much happier here with family around me that's foresure, but also have made the specialist help nearly impossible. I could maybe afford to travel back to Melbourne for surgery if need be, but will they do it properly? I need this to end now... why? I am only 30. I don't need an operation for every year of my life one would think.
