Guest guest Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 ......STINKS! Anyone on this list ever been to the University of Iowa Hopsitals?!? I am being sent there (in 5 weeks), but today I heard some yucky stories about how you get tossed around and never know which doctor you are going to end up with. One time you will get great care, the next time you get a loser. I don't wanna go there if that is the case. Does anyone know? It is a learning hospital, but I haven't had good experience there. This means I am going to have to go to the MS guy in Des Moines. Cause yesterday, Pretty Pants (my PCP) said she wouldn't do the testing for me cause it is way over her head. And the best doctor in town for me to go to in her opinion was in a car crash and DIED a few days ago!! (can my luck get any better??? Well..... I guess his luck was worse!! LOL) Then she went and asked another doctor in her practice and he said the best guy I could go to just died... so he agreed with her. They thought maybe Mayo... I told her my experience there... they said Ok, no Mayo. So then they called the U of I and I got a random neuro. I do not want to be tossed from one person to another and all that stuff. What is it with me?!?! Do I attract bad doctors? Do I go to the MS Guy and leave the U of I for a fall back plan if I have to? Do I take my chances at the U of I... maybe to find good care....maybe find crappy doctors? Do I go and jump off a bridge and see if the jump is as bad as the sudden stop at the end? Do I go completely nuts, move to the outback, eat vegemite sandwiches and tim tams until Spring? Do I drive by the U of I and pelt the Neuro Ophtho office with red fuzzy balls? Do I just give up until something major happens and then do nothing cause nobody is gonna help anyway? Do I quit asking stupid questions and end this email? Do I decided that asking stupid questions is fun and continue? Do I do all of the above? Do I do just the fun ones up above? Pretty pants also said that Fibromyalgia has nothing to do with Neurology so to leave that out of the equation. She was appalled at my treatment thus far. It WAS nice to that validation. End of bovine vent for now. ____________________________________________________ IncrediMail - Email has finally evolved - Click Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 Well, moo at least all is not lost, she at least listened to you and was appalled that your neuro is a nut....A lot of the Neuro guys are very very smart.. but as the old saying goes can't find their arse from a hole in the ground....which means in IOWA terms theses days,... can't get in out of the rain... haha... I does suck she wouldn' t draw the lab.. when we all get up there we'll slap her!!!! I know you are disappointed, but don't be, give the IU a try... you know now exactly how you don't want to be treated.. and at the first sign of that get Spud to get you out of there... ASAP..... I know this was a big effort for you...I'm proud or ya!!!! (((((BIG HUG))))) -- My life in a word..... ......STINKS! Anyone on this list ever been to the University of Iowa Hopsitals?!?

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 What are tim tams? I like the idea of pelting them with red fuzzy balls, but rotten tomatoes might be more fun. Do you realize that you have just created another NS treatment chart? We can all your options to mine. How fun. I think it's a crackup that we get ANNOYED at someone for having the audacity to die, before we can get in to see them! As my friend Ruthie is always telling me (paraphrased), "We're sick individuals." Rose who has no answers My life in a word..... ......STINKS!

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 Tim Tams are a chocolate biscuit (cookie) from Australia. I thought it went well with the Vegemite sandwiches another Aussie treat. I am still not happy that the Dr. died. I about called him Dr. Death. How insane is that?? Oh my, I must have some kind of brain illness.. hehehe yep, I agree...
