Re: Frusrated AS WELL YOU SHOULD BE!

[Guest guest]

Oh Roxanna - almost every sentence you you wrote has me screamin' mad

for you! You should be VERY frustrated, and ready to leave that

S.O.B. so-called M.D. (must stand for Morally Deprived, or Mentally

Deficient, or Mister Dip Sh--t!).

For one thing- YOU did everything right!...You " wrote down the

progression ...of the last two months... and my questions. " BRAVO!!

You were making his job easier - and to reward your consideration for

his time and schedule (by being organized), he:

" ...was aggatated, left the room 3 times, (lst visit was interrupted

twice) and didn't want to hear my symptoms. "

Boy, this guy is a real winner! OK, maybe he was just having a bad

day - but it definitely sounds as though he's dangerously close to

mal-practice, if not at least NEGLECT!

... " He said my problem was chronic, not going away and get

used to it. He prescribed what I believe is a anti-deppresant... "

Besides the heart-warming compassion he demonstrates here, it sounds

as though you don't really even know WHY he prescribed Cymbalta (is

this the one you mean?), which would indicate that he did NOT conferr

with you about trying this medication (as in something your health

care PARTNER would be INCLINED to do!) or EDUCATE you about this drug

(as in something your health care PROVIDER would be OBLIGATED to

do!).He is neither a PARTNER nor a PROVIDER. Istead he is a DICK-

TATER (Oops! I mean DICTATER!) and a PIG!

AND YOU DESERVE BETTER, ROXANNA!!! You are a VALUABLE person.with a

REAL DISEASE, which you are trying to MANAGE in an INTELLIGENT way...

and " he " makes you feel unworthy and stupid and has put you in a " no-

win " situation by insisting you get on with accepting your disease(s)

without giving you any tools to help you do that.

Everything you have been able to accomplish -you've done on your

own! Your coming this far in your " accepting " your illness can be

attributed to your motivation in wanting to learn and treat this as

best you and your Doctor can. But he has failed you, not the other

way around -as he seems to think as demonstrated by that beautiful

bedside manner of his. You wrote down your concerns/questions because

you knew that to be the best way to make sure all your questions were

addressed - and in the meanwhile, saved that MD precious time in his

day (because he didn't have to take all the time it can take

to " interview " a patient to obtain information about their condition)

which he should have rewarded you for by giving you MORE of his time:

attentively and thoughtfully.

And you are very right when you mention that he gets paid! And let me

tell you! He gets paid plenty! Some MD's forget that it is actually

their PATIENTS who pay their salary because they see so many checks

coming directly from the insurance companies, instead of from the

patient's own pocket (as in the " old " days). But the checks wouldn't

be coming from insurance companies if not for US going to the MD's in

the first place! WE hire the doctor on to PARTNER with us...to

enlighten, educate, diagnose, help us choose treatments and

therapies, help us to understand the cause, progress, and mortality

of our illnesses.

OOOHHH BOY! AM I ON A SOAP BOX< OR WHAT? SO SORRY! But I'm sure you

get my point.

Roxanna -hire a partner in your care, ok? You deserve it!

Your silly! And I find that helpful.

I'm not going to let it get to me even though I was so looking

forward to that appointment. I was so stessed for awhile wanting to

make sure I got the meds with my symptoms to stop the progression if

possible. I will carry on and do what I can with the small

resourses I have. I'm not as stressed as last week and that is

helping immensely. I will regroup and try again. I'll try the Three

Stooges attitude next time. Nuunt Nuunt Nuunt.
