Ok today was my do visit.Let me see how i can sum this horrable visit up.I get there early,its sunny,the office is nearly empty.Regardless of being the only one there i KNEW id still have a ten to 15 min wait as this is always the case even before a patient is in before me.Soi arrive 10;00 am no one calls me,people arrive in waiting room too,there is now three of us waiting on this single docter.11: 30 am nothing,we begin to tell each other how long weve been waiting,me having the longest wait of course,which was by then nearly 50 min.
The one woman gets up and starts towards the counter,a young woman,right then and there i knew she told them something that was gonna p- me off.Finaly close to 12 the doc comes out,and as i expected the woman was called in,i tried to bite my tongue,but could not,i went to the window and asked why was i bumpred?A mutter and a pointed finger came from one young girl and i just shook my head and walked away saying that aint a way u run a buisness,i mean u guys have the bible sitting right here.
Anyway i get in finaly,and YESS MY DOC SEEMS CLUELESS,i give her a a bag of what im on,i mention about wanting to continue to add something to parnate,i ask about lyrcia,she tells me its not out yet,i ask "r u sure" she reassures me then grabs her big heavy pdr,she finds it and tells me OH YES IT IS,BUT ITS NOT FDA APPROVED FOR THIS USE YET,my god woman ur a professional,i shake my head in utter disgust,i cant put in words the way this happened,but it did in such a way i gave up then and there,said fine just up the nuerorotion then.
She said yeah we havent hear anything about lyrcia at our last meeting in jan.
So to all u who think doing anything without ur p-doc well we must live in different twilight zones.
Lets see,i just wasted weeks of waiting and hope,2 hours of my morning,my cash,my hope etc,all because i depended on a professional.I was asking her if we could lower the nuerotion,add lamictal,or add two very low anti convulants,or something,something to help me.
I GOT NOTHING,IM SOOO DISAPPOINTED I CAME BACK HOME AFTER ALL THIS TIME WITH more neurtoion,i dident even want this much,im not taking it.Yeah agreed to lowering then neuronion,andd adding the lamictal in very low doses,then she just renegged and said well first well do this,yeah and when i go to re visist i doubt shelll remeber any of what we spoke of.
Oh and lastly for everyone who doesent do a thing without the p doc,i have to step in and correct her,not that i wanted to im so tired of it,but she asked me if the 800 mg was caps or hard tabs,ie yi yi.
Why can i sit there and be there patient,feeling confident the person in front of me knows what they are doing,none not a single one in my horried 8 yrs or so has.
People can say it to eachh other,but i will be greatly offeneded next time some one asks me why do i do things unguided my my doc,i will say,u come to a doc visit with me,until then assume i am DR in my own right.
