This doctor was the embodiment of everything i Hate about our medical system. Complete BullShit from start to finish. 1st I always get the new patient forms filled out before my visit so i dont have to sit in uncomfortable pain doin it in the waiting room. They were suppose to email it to my mother and wife, and never did. My wife printed it from there website and called today to make sure it was the same forms. They kept hanging up on her. Wtf really? I said screw it ill go early just in case. I was very uncomfortable about the forms i had to fill. Basically it gives them the right to share my info to anyone and removes any kind of responsibility on there end. Even allowing them to share w 3rd and 4th parties. Whatever i suck it up. I centered myself and did not want to judge a book by its cover, you never know. Turns out the forms i had were the correct ones. I waited an additional 30min on top of the 2 1/2hr wait so 3 total hours. I also have a friend that uses this doctor. He was jumped by the police and they broke his back. He has lots of metal in his spine now and has had a total of 4 surgeries on his back so far. Hes going in for another one because screws are coming out. Love him to death but he was the last person i wanted to run into today. Hes on more drugs than i can count and you never know which person youll get. Not healthy for me at all. Go figure he walks in, oh boy. In the waiting room i strongly noticed this is a drug clinic that is it. My main goal was to get some muscle relaxers for emergencies and an MRA of my neck. Finally i see the doc. He ridiculed me, down played my pain and life situation, he went through a list of drugs that i am completely educated on (aint taking any of that shit) etc etc etc. I told him how i changed my diet and feel improved. He asked what i was eating. I said mainly meat fruit and veggies. His exact condescending response "what else is there to eat?". Oh i flipped on that one. They actually pay this fucking guy? Meanwhile my pain is crancking up bad at this point. He continues to down me and ask the stupidest questions ive ever heard. I keep bringing the convo back to my issue which kept being ignored. Finally he said he thinks its my neck (after exam) and that it could be my occipital nerve, a joint, or the muscles. He wanted to do a occipital nerve block. Theres no way in hell i would let this guy touch me. I am very educated on these procedures but acted like i didnt know what they were. I asked about possible risks and what imaging he would be using. "No imaging " he said. "Yeah ima have to think about that, bye". I may want a nerve block but not by that smuck. Thank god my insurance paid the visit cuz that would of been another $200 down the drain to talk to a f****** piece of **** ****. Also because i was so flustered i didnt get the MRA or muscle relaxers. Back home. Relaxed. And glad thats over.
"What else is there to eat?" What an a**hole. And any health practitioner who down plays a patents pain lacks empathy and is in the wrong profession. Sorry you didn't get what you needed today. :(
Thanks Lizzy, im sure youve seen some of these. I dont hold my mouth in these situations so it was atleast a little entertaining.
