Uppydate on meds/docs

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

What a meanie!! It is terrible when a doctor just sees youas "another case", and not as a human being in a lot of pain!! I had same experience with my previous back-doctor. All he ever told me is "try to live with it!" ; Yeah, sure, how can I do that when I canot move because of all the pain???
I hope you find a better doc asap! Please don't give up, you are such a great person; you don't deserve this at all!! NOBODY does!!

What a barbarian! Why are we so obsessed with drug addiction in this country? Maybe you should consider moving to Europe or Canada. I hope you can get this resolved.

Have you researched Prialt? That's the cone snail venom derived drug which is the latest "nuclear option" for pain.

I used to go to a Walk In Clinic where the Doctor would have 6 or 7 patients at the same time.
He would run in give you a prescription and then get someone else in from the waiting room.
He could care less about your health.
Thank God,I am now at the World Famous McMaster Clinic in Hamilton.
These Doctors who are not pleasant have inflated Egos,and are just there to help thier Friends the Pharmacutical Companies.

Thanks for the support guys.

I left this part out:

While he was writing me enough meds to last me a month, he tells me, "I don't have the time that requires me to spend on a patient with this much medication." I wonder if that's the truth, or him giving me an excuse. I keep asking myself, WHY did he keep my appointment if he didn't have TIME for me?? My other (Bigger) question is, why didn't he TELL ME I was taking too much or bring me in to see WHY I need these meds.

Ugh. Its quite frustrating...

Anyway, onto the next doctor. Hopefully (and prayerfully) he'll be a better doctor for me. I'll keep you all updated.

I haven't, but thanks for the heads up. I'll check that out.

Oh Kelly (((HUGS))) I don't know how you do it. I'd be a raving B*tch if I had to deal with the incompetence and attitudes like that. I hope you finally get the respect you deserve with the new doctor.

Kim, I have my moments...as I'm sure you all saw in my unedited version of my LJ. I kind of have small freak out sessions, then calm down and try to figure it out.

Thanks, honey. ((hugs))

I'm sending lots of hugs your way Kelly. I'm also sending prayers that this new year will be so much better for you. I'm sorry that you have to go through all of this. Hopefully your next doctor will be much better.
