hi,
I've been travelling recently and have just moved to a new city. It seems to me the healthcare system in this province is more bureaucratic than the one in the last province I was in.
I'm having troubles (I believe) because doctors in this province are very accountable for the amount of stimulants they prescribe (I heard it can be used as a recreational drug - but I imagine most drug uses are probably just trying to feel normal. So none of the doctors seem to want to prescribe the stimulants. So now I have to be officially diagnosed as having ADHD. My doctor in Toronto never gave me any official diagnosis, and I liked his style. I mean, I KNOW what i experience. It seems bureaucratic to me and I'm probably over-reacting. I don't want to have to convince anyone of having these disorders, but I don't function without the medication; plus I have a strong aversion to anyone having any power over me. I feel like I have to 'hustle' for Dexedrine, and this pisses me off. Like Dove, I want to scream and yell at them, Janice.
