Re: frustration with So. Georgia doctors

[Guest guest]

Hi Vicki,

If you would like to email me off the list, I have a friend in So. Ga.

who has a wonderful pain doc he has found that he drives to. I would be

happy to put you in touch if you would like. I used to live in ville,

and know exactly what you mean!

frustration

> 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.
