I wi...Aiya. What an ungodly awful horrible woman.<br /><br />I wish I could loan you my doctor. He may be white and male and able-bodied, but he respects the information he gets from my specialists and from me. He considers me the expert on my body, and more well-read than he on EDS, so he's willing to go along with referrals I request and to investigate medications and theraputic devices I suggest. He's also the only doctor who has ever trusted me with a large supply of muscle relaxants - he wrote for a MONTH of four-times-a-day, with two or three refills, which has lasted me in all over a year.<br /><br />I've been oh-so-very lucky in that I've only had to fire 3 medical professionals (one NP, two specialists) in the 3 1/2 years that I've been sick, and they were all very obviously people who needed to be gotten rid of.<br /><br />~KaliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558261371882389486.post-46671035064821875612010-12-09T07:57:33.143-08:002010-12-09T07:57:33.143-08:00Elizabeth, I don't even know that I can be sur...Elizabeth, I don't even know that I can be surprised anymore. I'm really considering reporting her to the state medical board. She likes to put things in people's permanent records? I'll put something in her permanent record. <br /><br />It just seems too big an insult to tolerate, too big a stain not to clean up.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08238800725707477277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558261371882389486.post-8730444054096209322010-12-08T20:20:13.016-08:002010-12-08T20:20:13.016-08:00I loathe that any doctor, no matter how many compl...I loathe that any doctor, no matter how many complaints against them, can simply give an opinion and it is in your notes forever. Ah, if we only had the same chance, if you only had the same chance: "dr. appears to have processing disorder: unable to read tests in addition to ignoring information from patient. Is curious where doctor feels they are getting information: no objective conclusions"<br /><br />Sometimes the local organization of your condition, EDS, can refer to doctors who can at least recognize symptoms - an interest couldn't recognize hypothryoidism that the next specialist noticed in 30 seconds. I told him that several doctors before him including specialists had said there was nothing wrong, and what could he demonstrate that would make his observation different.<br /><br />He said, "A career of 30,000 thyroids."<br /><br />I'm sorry you had go through the emotional and psychological trauma that seems to be what passes for medical sevices many places. Very sorry.Elizabeth McClunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03627373214555333537noreply@blogger.com
