SOME DOCTORS ARE BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH

[Punkin]

I went to the rheumatologist a week ago Monday to get results of the blood work and urine test he requested more than a month ago! He didn't have a clue what the results showed - he argued with the results! Then he told me to have a repeat urinalysis and call the office on Friday to get the results. Well, I got the test done and called the office - just like I was told to do. I STILL don't have the results. I am sooooo ticked I could spit! After all this crap, my heart doctor canceled (BY LETTER!) my appointment for this Friday and re-scheduled it for 28 DECEMBER!!! I told them to cancel the appointment because I wasn't going to keep it! I cant get the compression pumps for my legs because they are $1800.00 dollars!!! I give up!!!!

I will keep my PCP and he will doo all my doctoring!

He put me on thyroid meds for hypothyroidism. He said my level was really low.

My DD was telling us about her doctor. She saw her 3x in the last 3 weeks ---- and doesn't remember anything about DD or her problems. DD is good at self-diagnosis, but the doctor denies the problems but runs tests anyway. She prescribed a 3-day antibiotic treatment for UTI, "just in case". DD went back still with UTI, but another symptom as well that indicates the infection has spread to her pancreas. Which the doc denied and sent another test to the lab.
DD will be seeking another doctor, of course.
But meanwhile, I told her to challenge the doctor. When she asks "what are you here for?", make her read your sign in sheet, and the last few pages of her record.
That's what I made my PCP do one time, and after that I had no more problems about him not knowing me when I saw him.
The PCP I have now is a 3rd year resident, and really stays on top of things. Amazing for a young man! I'll hate losing him when he has to leave.
