Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Thank you for your advice. I do live in a small town, around 7,000 people. The " big " city is 30 minutes away and sometimes I'm not sure if I can handle the ride in the car or the day out of the house. I'm going to have to though. My entire family has been with this dr for more than 15 years. We thought we had him " trained " . He is quick to handing out guinea pig prescriptions for a 4 minute visit. In the past, that is all we have needed over the years. Give me some antibiotics and an allergy shot & we'll get out of here. Now I realize he's not capable of dealing with " big " problems. I'm just sorry that I didn't find this out before he labeled me as a " drug seeker. " I'm so disappointed in him and his phone nurse...I've had more than one battle with her, just trying to get referrals. Anyway, thank you, I'm not certain that I can go the lawyer route, I'm up to my eyeballs in medical bills right now, am a stay at home mom and husband is a truck driver. We bob up & down the financial pond, but I think we are mostly just drowning trying to keep up. (oh boy, haven't taken my anti-depressant this morning & you can tell!) Sorry! I'll quit rambling, but I appreciate you! > > , > > Get a lawyer.
