needless procedures

I've had really bad varicose veins ever since my first pregnancy. They caused me to have alot of pain. I always thought that because I got them as a result of pregnancy, that I would have to suffer. But after the third pregnancy, they were so bad, I got up the nerve to consult a doctor located in Bensalem. He treated me numerous times with injections. I had to go back many times. After all that I had to go through and the astronomical amount of money I had to pay, my legs are a lot worse than they were. As a result I went to another doctor and I have to have veins in both legs stripped. Now I have to ask if this doctor really cared about his patients, why didn't he recommend stripping in the first place?
