docs & communication Mood
Saturday, August 1, 2009 | A Frustrating story
most docs have a "I know it all attitude" and  make you wait for hours to see him/her then not listen to the patient & rush patient out not giving a damn if everything was covered or believe that the patient just possibly might know their own body.   I've fired many docs. I've had about 3 good docs out of at least 20 docs.
  they get upset if you're a few min. late but will put you in a little room to wait for them to come in an hour later n see you for 4min 32 seconds, I've had better service from fast food restaurants & auto parts stores.
   the doc me n my wife have now gets mad if my wife listens to the specialist surgeon instead of her, she's not even a doc legaly, she's a nurse practitioner. we can't find a doc here who's taking on new patients so were stuck with this lady.!, I could go on for hours talkin about bad experiences with ppl in the med field.
we have to be on the verge of dying before we'll go to a hospitol here in owensboro ky.  the wait to get into the 'EMERGENCY' room is usualy 6 to 10 hours unless u go in an ambulance & you still wait about 3 hours after you're on the bed with your EMERGENCY,
 for many yrs I avoided the medical field cause of all the BS.
 docs insisting I get a 'flu shot', lol  it's been quite a few yrs since I had the flu, why should I waste my cash on it? I'm better off buying $25.00 in lottery tickets than payin same price for a shot I don't need, anyways whiskey is a cheaper shot & it works better than the flu shot!
 communication with doctors? it's easier talking to a drunk on the street!!!!!!!!

    SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED TO KEEP LOOKING UNTIL YOU FIND A GOOD DOC. MY DOC AT VA USED TO GIVE ME THE BUMS RUSH. AFTER I WENT FROM HIS OFFICE TO ER THINGS HAVE CHANGED. NOW HE SITS AND GOES OVER EVERYTHING WITH ME. GOOD LUCK.___DENNY

    Oh Cowboy it sounds like you feel like I do about doctors. The only doctors I have found in a long list of medical personel that I have come across are a psychotherapist and a chiropractor - why? because they are the only ones that listen to not only the words but to the feelings behind the words. I haven't seen another doctor in over 2 years because they don't care about me they just seem to want the benefits they get from the prescriptions they write. We don't need to pay for the flu shot but like you said why get it if you haven't had the flu for so many years.

    WELL FOR NOW, UNTIL MY SSD IS APPROVED, I AM STUCK GOING TO THE FREE CLINIC. THE VOLUNTEERS THERE ARE ALL NP'S RATHER THAN LEGAL DOC'S, THEY SEEM TO CARE VERY MUCH FOR ALL US UNEMPLOYED BEGGARS WHO NEED THEIR SERVICES. BUT THE OFFICE IS ONLY OPEN ONE DAY A WEEK AND THEY HAVE APPOINTMENTS BACKED UP FOR THREE MONTHS IN ADVANCE. SO THEY'RE ALWAYS SO BUSY THEY HAVE TO RUN US ALL THROUGH LIKE A HERD OF CATTLE GOING INTO THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE. AT LEAST THAT'S THE WAY IT HAS FELT TO ME LATELY. I'VE DISCOVERED THAT MY PROBLEM HAS BEEN FOR THE MOST PART THAT THEY HAVE ME COMING IN FOR LAB WORK, BUT DON'T SCHEDULE TIME FOR AN ACTUAL APPOINTMENT. SO THE LAST TIME I WAS IN THE OFFICE I DID THE RESCHEDULING FOR THE LAB WORK BUT ALSO SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TIME. ACCORDING TO WHAT I WAS TOLD THAT WAY THEY WILL HAVE THE TIME SCHEDULED TO ACTUALLY SIT DOWN AND TALK TO ME. MY NEXT PROBLEM IS THAT I USUALLY SEE A DIFFERENT NP EVERY TIME I GO IN AND THE NEW PERSON HAS NO CLUE WHAT THE OTHERS HAVE TALKED TO ME ABOUT.

    LONG STORY SHORTENED JUST A BIT, THE WHOLE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS SCREWED UP AND ISN'T GOING TO GET ANY BETTER ANY TIME SOON. MOST OF THE PROFESSIONALS ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN PADDING THEIR POCKETS OR PAYING OFF THEIR STUDENT LOANS, AND THEY HOPE TO STAY OUT OF MALPRACTICE COURT IN THE PROCESS. THE PATIENTS ARE ONLY THE MEANS TO DO JUST THAT. I THINK IT WOULD PROBABLY BE JUST AS AFFECTIVE TO GO ON LINE DO OUR OWN RESEARCH INTO OUR SYMPTOMS AND THEN ORDER THE RECOMMENDED MEDICATION ON LINE. FORGET ABOUT THE DOCS AND LET THEM TREAT EACH OTHER. LOL

    You were chosen to receive this novena.

    The moment you receive it, say :
    Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come,
    Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our
    daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who
    trespass against us and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
    evil. Amen.

    GOD WANTED ME TO TELL YOU, It shall be well with you this coming year.

    No matter how much your enemies try this year, they will not succeed..

    You have been destined to make it and you shall surely achieve all your
    goals this year.

    For the remainder of 2009, all your agonies will be diverted and victory
    and prosperity will be incoming in abundance. Today God has confirmed
    the end of your sufferings, sorrows and pain because HE that sits on the
    throne has remembered you. He has taken away the hardships and given you
    JOY. He will never let you down.

    I knocked at heaven's door this morning, God asked me.. My child! What
    can I do for you? And I said,
    'Father, please protect and bless Dan and Angel..Amen!
