frustration

March 25, 2004

Sorry you are having such a bad time. I went through the same thing with my

doctors the last few who told me I had stuff they never heard of or they would

throw me out of their offices.

You are right to vent about those doctors. I hope you feel better soon. Caro

SORRY . will apologize now for my whining, but I have to do it.!!! I am so

FRUSTRATED with EVERYTHING!! i'M TIRED OF THE MEDICAL SYSTEM THAT I HAVE TO DEAL

WITH IN SOUTH GA. M.D.S THAT ARE ONLY WILLING TO LEARN HALF THE INFO THEY NEED

TO KNOW AND THEN SOMETIMES NOT EVEN THAT.i'M NOT STUPID, i KNOW MORE THAN THEY

DO, i KNOW WHEN i CAN'T GET OUT OF BED OR I WOULD, I'M TIRED OF THEM TELLING ME

THEY KNOW ABOUT MY PAIN AND WHAT THEY THINK ITS LIKE. I'VE LOST FAITH IN THE

HUMAN RACE PERIOD, IN MANKIND AS A WHOLE- IN PEOPLE WHO ARE SELFISH AND CAN'T

HELP THOSE IN NEED BECAUSE THEY DON'T TAKE THE TIME TO STOP AND LISTEN TO THEIR

INNER VOICE. i'M LOSING IT. i DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS CRAP OR TO BE A MOTHER THAT

CAN'T BE A MOTHER. I LOST FAITH IN THE ONLY DR. THAT I'VE EVER REALY TRUSTED

TODAY. I TOLD HIM I NEED COUNSELING( I REALLY DO- I HAVE SO MANY ISSUES BECAUSE

OF THIS) AND HE SAID " ALL THEIR GONNA DO IS TELL YOU THIS AND THAT AND WHAT TO

DO AND YOUR A NURSE- YOU KNOW ALL THAT. I MAY BE A NURSE- BUT RIGHT NOW I AM A

PERSON WHO IS DYING INSIDE BECAUSE I CAN'T FIND THE HELP I NEED " i DON'T KNOW

WHERE TO TURN. i DON'T HAVE ANY FAMILY HERE AND i CAN'T MOVE YET. OH- BY THE WAY

THIS WAS MY PSYCHIATRIST THAT SAID THIS- HE RX MY DEPRESSION MEDS AND ANXIETY.I

TOLD HIM I'D BEEN CRYING UNCONTROLLABLY FOR THE LAST 3 DAYS, AND MY PAIN DOC

WON'T GO STRONGER THAN DARVOCET. i GUESS i HAVE TO TAKE THINGS INTO MY OWN

HANDS-HUH?

i KNOW THERE IS NOT ONE OF YOU HERE THAT HAVEN'T FELT THIS- BUT I NEEDED TO

VENT-

Then on top of that my son ran out of his straterra for his ADHD- I called the

DR to 1) see if I could get samples

because his insurance ran out and he won't be back on his dad's for another 30

days and being off of work money's short.

The nurse talks to him and comes back and says- they don't give out those kind

of samples- I said yes they do I used to work at a clinic with kids and the drug

reps gave to the docs all the time.But then please just call in a refill.

then she calls back right before 5 and says he has to see him first- I then got

rude and said I have no insurance on him and will have to pay $103.00 for the

rx- he's been on it over a year. I said DOES HE NOT HAVE A HEART real loud in

the phone- he was standing right next to her.

He says ok if i bring him in after the insurance starts. Then they start this

conversation about whether you can call it in or not because you can't call the

other ones in- I told her -it's not a controlled substance like adderrall or

ritalin- I said it twice and he still insisted that I come pick up a rx vs. them

calling it in. I know more about the#*@# med than he does. So i called the

Pharmacist and she clarified that it wasn't controlled. I told her what happened

and she laughed and said she would call them. He would of argued that the sky

was purple just to get the last one in.

Now can you see why I am so frustrated with the whole system. I've developed a

paranoia about dr.s.

THANKS FOR LISTENING- IT HELPED.

Vicki,

So sorry to hear of all the difficulties you are going through right now.

Yes many of us have been down this road. Do you have insurance for yourself

right now? I would get another Dr or go to a pain management Dr for a second

opinion. I am a Nurse too, and we don't have all the answers and we do need

help both physically and emotionally. I can't believe your Dr. said that to

you, how rude of him. But Dr's can be ass's (sorry) sometimes. You are a

human being first of all that is suffering not just a Nurse. Hang in there

honey! I don't know what else I can do for you, but I'm here if ya want to

talk.

Hugs, S.
