RE: curious now

February 26, 2004

I agree totaly with Barb, sometimes it doesn't pay to be nice. it does pay

to go into your dr's office way more prepaired. A friend of mine got me

into journaling what was going on with my body because by the time i dragged

myself to the dr's office i couldn't think straight to tell him what had

happened since the last visit.

Another thing Barb said that made me curious was about the crying and

getting the dr's attention. When i get upset i don't cry i get pissed off

big time and very very sarcastic. One dr was being very condicending while

he was talking to me and i just asked him if he was always this much of an

ass or if he took special classes for it? After picking his jaw up off the

floor he tested me for what i wanted and prescribed the medicine i needed.

Another dr had taken me off of every single med to do some tests, he had me

off them for almost a year, in that year i went down hill very rapidly.

Finally i got pissed off and told him that if he didn't start treating me i

would braid his short and curilies to his very bad beard. I walked out of

there with all of my meds re prescribed.

So there are my moments in the Dr's office, anyone else have one or two to

share?
