I called the 24 hour line at Kaiser Permanente and got Dr. B. She was kind and caring and super optimistic when I was experiencing severe stomach and back pain. Other doctors did not solve the problem directly. She was able within 24 hours to get me feeling some sense of normalcy again. She even...
