Thanks Judith. Your concern about me is a source of
continual amazement.Ha, did not hear that line about
'spring steel & sex appeal', funny, but do not think
it was directed to me. Wish someone in particular
thought of me that way, cause hb is also heart-broken.
Meds-Gave up on them.
Counseling-Gave up on it, may go back.
Personal Affairs-Down the tubes
Employment-going, going, gone?
Social Interaction-Zilch
Financial Status-HorrorsAm having a tough go trying to work even part time,
I've lost what little interest I ever had in dealing
with the rat race & corporate politics, job is in
jeopardy.I'm down, feeling lost again. My attitude is very poor.
Haven't been visiting PB because I'm finding it
difficult to comprehend the posts, and somehow I
feel like I'm not welcome here.My disability insurance hasn't paid me a cent, this
since Feb. Used up my savings, can't get to my 401k
money. Mortgage company threatening to foreclose,
my credit is gone, poof, good credit beginning of
year, now could not borrow a dime. All because ONE
doc didnot respond to the insurance co. I had called
him at least once per week for months, office kept
telling me "he hates paper-work", "he's working on
it", which was all BS. It was a simple ONE PAGE
form.I finally went to his office, 50 miles away, and
demanded to see him. Office people said he was too
busy & would get to my paper work as soon as he could.Not good enuf. I told them I was not leaving the
office until I saw him & we completed the form.I stood in front of the receptionist for over 3 hrs! I refused
to let other patients get in front of me, they had
to stand to the side to talk to her. Felt bad about
intimidating her because it was not her fault, but
it was my only recourse.The doc, by in-house phone, told her to tell me that
he would call the police if I did not leave. I said fine,
and that then he would hear from my lawyer & to expect
a suit for damages and a complaint to AMA, ins co's,
State licensing, & whatever other orgs I could find.
I progressed to using slanderous tactics by speaking
loudly to any patient who would listen about the doc's
negligence and lack of professionalism. I showed other
patients the derogatory letter I had written to the
doc, detailing the repeated requests my ins co had made,
the dates I had called the doc, and the dire financial
consequences I have suffered because of his blase
attitude.That brought the doc running to me. Some arguement
ensued, but it took us less than 10 minutes to do the
paperwork and fax it to the ins co.He apologised, I called him an asshole, & I left.
Real fun day. I may sue him, anyone know if I have
grounds? Guess I will see my lawyer.Sad thing is he's a good, knowledgable doc.
End of that tirade.
Anyway, that's where I am.
Thanks & take care
