Bad Doctors

[Guest guest]

Hi gang:

Just wanted to share this horrible experience with you. I went to my

primary care physician last week to talk about the " bone/muscle " pain

that I've been experiencing lately and in doing so he recommended that

I see what he called a " rehab " doctor. We did talk about my possibly

seeing a neurologist since it's been about 20 years since I've seen

one, but he thought this rehab guy could do me some good.

Anyway, I saw the rehab guy - I won't give him the respect of calling him a

physician - and his advice to me was to get really drunk! He

actually asked me had I ever tried just getting really drunk in order

to sleep through the night!!

Needless to say, I asked him to leave the room so that I could dress and I left.

I have thought about reporting him, but it would probably just be my word

against his since no one else was in the room and he clearly is not very

ethical.

This is why I shy away from doctor visits. Generally, I don't have much success

in picking a good one.
