Thank You (Denied Pain Management)

Thank you to everyone that responded to my husbands plight with Dr. refusing to treat him because he is obese. He did pass he drug screen.
The physician was actually one of the largest hospitals in the area with 2 satellite hospitals. It is also a teaching hospital.

Our Dr is getting a new pain Dr. Hopefully the wait will be short. In the meantime, we are talking to Indiana's Dept of Vocational Rehabilitation to help with home modifications and other resources. After chking with the American Pain site, we may follow up with the civil liberties union and the americans with disabilities act.we'll see. Also the state medical board sounds great too.

Thanks sooo much for the support I was so angry and frustrated, I felt like giving up. I am my husband, Sam's support, and he's already depressed. You Guys and Gals made all the difference. Thank you all and may you all have pain free days and restful nights.

Blessed Be

This is just outrageous and obscene. Sue each and every person that caused your husband even a second of unnecessary pain.

Yes it is terrible how people are treated just because they are overweight. I have been there myself and been treated poorly. Still get some jabs and it does hurt.marilyn

Funny, the immobility of pain is what is causing the weight problem. When I was under care, I walked, exercised, now, I'm lucky to get across the room. But, I hate it, the first thing they ask about is your weight.
