Journal Entry for August 18, 2009 Mood
Tuesday, August 18, 2009

I dont understand why some people are so angry and mean.  If they dont want to be around me then they need to stay away.

 

     My son has a life threatening disease and I am doing the best that I can.  I am forced to see a doctor because he is the only doctor in this vicinity that can deal with this.  We need to make  school plans, day care plans in case of an emergency.  I am doing whatever I can to make this work.  so, we go to see dr. to get our annual prescriptions and he starts yelling at me; "You are ridiculous".   I told him the plan was not really mine but an accumulation of many people's ideas (including and mainly his but, I didnt say that) and that I would really like to hear his plan.  He answered by yelling that i was rediculous.  Now, he seemed very confused when we walked in; he couldnt fill out the form, he used my son's old epi-pen's expiration date for the end date of the action plan and several other things.  He was obviously upset by other things.  I was humilated and embarrassed.  My son was angry but also confused and doesnt believe the dr. cares about his situation.

 

     My main concern is that even though the dr. was wrong in the way he approached me I can not get this out of my mind and it feels devastating.  My reaction does not fit  the dr.'s bad behavior.  I can not stop.  I feel so stupid and embarassed. I can not get over the hurt and I am confused by that.  It was just a plan.  It can be changed.  I think it is a good plan but if he has a better one that is o.k.. I do not understand why I irritated him so much.  I tried to be friendly and polite.  When he was yelling I remained calm and tried to explain why we had the plan we did.  But, he just kept saying the same thing: " I think YOU are ridiculous"  I feel very ashamed. 

   I know people on this site are dealing with really big problems.
