I Have an M.D. Therefore I am GOD

Why is it if we stand up for ourselves we are shut down?

I am AGAIN without a Physician, another discharge letter arriving in the mail. Who do these people think they are?

Two want to dope you up, two wont return your calls, one refuses to see you face to face...am I a patient with an obvious jacked up back per my MRI's, or am I some junkie off the street trying to cop dope?

Why does no one listen anymore? Whatever happened to having a Physician/Patient relationship with your doctor?

I've been trying to get my medical records for six...no, seven months now, while this thing grows in my back. I've been labeled since the first discharge, after I refused to continue taking the long-acting crap that made me crazy (er) and therefore have not received appropriate health care since.

O.U. still wont give me my records.

This has to be the most absurd thing I've ever experienced, yet here I am again. I believe we are meant to be honest with our Physicians, so I have been...WRONG!

It scares the Hell out of them, they see Law Suit and head for the hills. This last one was number...ummm, wait FOUR, number four in the last-no......FIVE in the last year.

The next time I'm going in lying my ass off.
Lying like a rug, making shit up...I'm just going to be the biggest liar in the world.

Doctors will do ANYTHING to protect their precious asses.
This is what I've learned in the last year. If I wanted to sue anyone, I'd have to go out of state to get a Physician to testify, since they are all insured by the same company. (I know his wife)

At the cost of my child becoming an orphan, I will no longer be telling anyone the truth. I'm so sick of this, the clock ticking away.
There has to be a Dr. out there who will communicate with me and not pass judgment on me.

If drugs were all I wanted, I could get drugs. God, I'm not an idiot.
I want a Doctor who is going to work WITH me to treat the WHOLE person. I don't think they exist anymore, but I'll keep looking (and now lying)

There just has to be one out there.
For Mer's sake.

Unfortunately, some doctors seem to think that the "M.D." after their name stands for "make dollars". OR they think they're God. Neither is correct. Of the two doctors I know personally, they don't think that way, fortunately. But malpractice insurance is thru the roof for some doctors and they will do anything to keep from being in a lawsuit. Most just do the best job they can. The others are like the ones you describe. It sucks, I know...
