Doctor’s Visit Today
Don’t you hate when you wait so long just to see a doctor who comes in, diagnosis you or fixes whatever it was you came in for and he’s walking out the door 3 minutes later telling a short mild lame joke.
I had such high hopes that my new Rheumatoid doc would be “The One” who would fix me and make me all better. He gave me 5 cortisone shots from the top of my spine all the way down to the end of it since it’s been such a huge pain source for me lately, told me my labs looked fine and was nearly out the door before I’m like, um, wait. I was just in the hospital 3 weeks ago for Bronchitis which caused Hypoxemia in which I’m STILL on oxygen 24/7 for .. I definitely have some questions. So we went through my labs he did a month ago and every question I asked he danced around and basically didn’t answer. Even the simple yes/no questions. Then he changed my meds on me without us talking about it and I’m slapped an appointment card and rushed out the door.
Another what I like to call “Band-aid” Doctor. They slap a band-aid on you and throw you some pills without actually fixing the underlying issue. Pisses me off. I’m so frustrated/discouraged/angry. Is there any doctor out there that is actually helpful anymore?
I’m really bummed about this. I walked out of there feeling worse than when I went in (not every day you have 5 needles in your spine, ouch).
