wow! how about gettin a 3rd opinion?

U SHOULD GET A 3RD OPINION NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THAT GROUP IF POSSIBLE.

INSURANCE IS PICKY ABOUT WHO I SEE

IF THE THERAPIST IS PART OF THE CREW THAT WORKS FOR THE SSD DEPARTMENT HE PROBABLY LOOKED AT YOUR RECORDS WITH BLINDERS ON. I AGREE THAT YOU NEED A THIRD OPINION HERE, BUT I ALSO KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO FIND SOMEONE WHO THE INS WILL APPROVE. TRY CALLING YOUR INS REP AND EXPLAIN TO HIM/HER THAT YOU HAVE TWO OPPOSING OPINIONS AND NEED TO SEE ANOTHER TO HELP YOU FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. IF THEY CARE ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT YOU THEY SHOULD FIND YOU ANOTHER DOC TO HELP YOU GET THIS STRAIGHTENED OUT.

SOMETIMES I THINK THE DOCS JUST WANT TO KEEP YOU IN THE DARK SO THEY CAN HAVE A FILE CABINET FULL OF PILL POPPING PUPPETS TO PAD THEIR POCKETS WITH CASH.

HAHAHAH DEB YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD

AH THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I TRY TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS, BUT SOMETIMES ITS MORE A CASE OF TELLING IT LIKE I SEE IT. LOL

I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE HOSPITAL. HE SAID HE HOPED NEVER TO HAVE TO SEE ME AGAIN, UNLESS I NEEDED TO COME BACK. I CALLED THE DOCTORS OFFICE RIGHT AFTER THE APPOINTMENT AND THEN MESSAGED THE HOSPITAL COMPLIANTS DEPARTMENT. THE DOCTOR WHO SENT ME THERE TOLD ME TO DO THE BACK EXERCIES HE WANTED ME TO DO AND TOLD HER HE NEVER GAVE ME ANY. I TOLD THE PHYSICAL THERAPIST HE LEFT A BAD TASTE ABOUT THEM IN MY MOUTH. HE SAID AND I QOUTE "MOST PEOPLE YOUR AGE" BEOFRE GOING INTO DISCUSSION ABOUT PAIN. I HAD TO CALL BULL CRAP ON THAT ONE.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT A BAD ONE. FEW YEARS BACK THE DOC I WAS SEEING SENT ME TO A PHYSICAL THERAPIST, SHE SAID IT WAS SO THAT WE COULD GET MY PAIN ISSUES PROPERLY DOCUMENTED TO HELP ME GET THE SSD TO GO THROUGH. WELL AFTER TWO WEEKS OF DAILY THERAPY THE THERAPIST TOLD ME THAT HIS EXERCISES WERE NOT WORKING BECAUSE MY PAIN LEVELS WERE ALL OVER THE MAP FROM ONE VISIT TO THE NEXT. HE PRINTED OUT A COPY OF HIS RESULTS FOR ME TO TAKE BACK TO MY DOC. SHE LOOKED AT WHAT HE GAVE ME AND ONLY SAW ONE THING, MY PAIN LEVEL ON MY LAST VISIT WAS LOWER THAN MY PAIN LEVEL ON THE FIRST DAY. HER CONCLUSION WAS, "THE THERAPY IS WORKING STICK WITH IT" SHE DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE REST OF IT. DIDN'T CARE THAT THE PAIN LEVEL WENT UP AND DOWN LIKE A YO YO OR THAT THE THERAPIST DIDN'T WANT ME TO FINISH THE MONTH OF THERAPY BECAUSE IT WASN'T DOING ME ANY GOOD.

SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW NICK? YOU CAN GO HIGHER THAN THE HOSPITOL BOARD.

DANG DEB. YOU SHOULD SHOWED HER THE REST OF THE CHART.

YOU DO HAVE A RIGHT TO APPEAL THEIR UNAPPEALING DECISSION.

I TRIED COWBOY, SHE JUST PASSED IT OFF AND REPEATED WHAT SHE SAID BEFORE, "BUT THE END RESULTS ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE BEGINNING." SO I WALKED OUT OF THE OFFICE SINGING, "DUMB D DUMB DUMB DUMB"

DID U APPEAL HE DECISION DEB? THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE WITH MORE CONTROL THAN THE 1ST FEW PPL YOU SEE.

NO I DIDN'T, SHE WAS JUST A VOLUNTEER IN FREE CLINIC. DIDN'T MAKE WAVES, JUST DECIDED SHE WAS NOT REALLY WANTING TO BE AS MUCH HELP AS SHE CLAIMED AND WROTE IT OFF AS A WAIST OF TIME.

SORRY HOSPITAL DID A FUDGE UP SO TRYING TO GET EVERYTHING CORRECTED AND DEALING WITH MORE ISSUES THEN I KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH. THEY ARE GONG TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO, I TOLD THEM I DON'T FEEL THERE SHOULD BE CHARGE AND I HAVE TO GET THEM TO SUBMIT THE PAPERWORK JUST IN CASE TO INSURANCE.

ANY GREAT NEWS YET?

YEAH THEY MISS READ A MESSAGE I SENT THEM AND DECIDED TO CHARGE ME FOR THE VISIT. THEN I HAD TO FIGHT TO GET IT REVERSED TO SEND TO INSURANCE. THEY DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING AND THE QUACK I SAW NEVER MESSAGED BACK.
