The Breakfast Club Community Group

A place where we can "do life" together, or at least talk about it. You won't be told "that is off topic" here. Share experiences, get advice, be silly, be sad, be supportive. (Try to say: share, silly, sad, supportive, 20 times without slobbering, if not, you are in! lol either way your "in") Let's just be whatever we are at the moment, and be "in" touch with...

Dealing with doctors is do frustrating!

I don't like my primary. Havn't liked her for some time, but since my hmo doesn't have the best of the best, it's scary to switch cuz you don't know what you'll wind up with.


Then there is the crack down on narcotics so if you switch, the next guy might decide that your pain meds are unecessary, even though you've already been through the gambit of pain mgmt, and not being a good fit for ibprofen.


I just want a doctor who is brighter than I am, who listens and can apply logic in a dynamic manner.  What you seem to get more of, is egotystical, static, drug pushing, big pharma educated and regurgitating, robotic drones.

I went through feeling that way too, Gusto. Is it possible to interview new primary care offices on the telephone? I just had to switch my primary.... got so sick and tired of being told whatever I was experiencing, was nothing. My doc of late (the last couple of years) is really good. There may be a great one out there for you too. ♥

I know the feeling. Not a fan of my oncologist who also happens to be my primary physician. Not interested in anything I report unless he thinks it is cancer related.

I just want a doctor who listens too. Hugs.

Thks 4 my bd present Bill! So nice of you.
Lorrie, I'm glad you found a good one! My ins here is a bit different, although I could switch ins companies entirely, that seems like a big task to me and I am never up for it. But the plan I am in has some benefits, like they waive my co-pays. There are many primaries but most not accepting new patients. I missed the window Dec to pick one of two who sounded good.
Koyu. I know u get it too. I hear ya. They have narrow tracked minds. I've got UC flare for last ? Month. Had some other issues too. And my blood sugar has not been regulated.
Winter has been grey. My stress levels have been up. Doctor cut out my xanax that has been avail to me for over 30 years. I've never abused it. Had an as needed script. I had a very carefully balanced system keeping me afloat. Didn't need doctor stepping in, throwing it off balance and distorting everything.
Thks 4 reading.
I'm trying different natural supplements for relaxation, mood, etc etc.
