You also have to realize that your friend, who is a PA, could lose their insurance / license over this little 'friendly gesture'. Laws are made to :
1- Protect the industry
2- Protect the workers
3- Enrich the lawyers
4- Protect the consumer
In this case, you've run afoul of #1 and #3.
I know you're suffering, but really- if you argue with your doc, get one you don't argue with. Our family doc will write us a scrip over the phone without seeing us nowadays because he trusts our experience.
Also, repeated sinus infections are usually symptomatic of other issues- sinus polyps, allergies, etc. Mine are allergies and small sinuses. I dose with saline spray during allergy season, it helps.
