Asshole Dr's

[The Albatross]

Guess I missed Fade's suggestion though however I do not personally agree that "doctors are cruel" So I overlooked it.

 

[Fadeaway]

@The Albatross I will rephrase it then. In my experience Dr.s have been incredibly cruel when it comes to lack of family support.

I am so sorry you are having to go through this....its horrible that they did not inform you of the conditions back in November. I have been in a similar place with a gastro dr. and its really crappy of them.

I actually agree with you @Fadeaway I'm not sure if cruel is the right word, maybe just f*cking insensitive to people with no support systems.

@VioletButterfly I will check your suggestions out, when I decide to deal with the carpel tunnel again. Right now I'm just so f*cking frustrated with EVERYTHING. Hands hurt, have electrical shocks going through them, numbness and tingling. And now the lightening flashes in my right eye are driving me absolutely INSANE!!!!!!!!

When the opthamalogist was checking out my eye. He dilated it, then put in numbing drops. After that he put a lens right on my Eyeball for about 2 minutes to really examine it. Ok, I also had a severe migraine at this point....... Then he kept telling me to not hard blink... REALLY???????? You have this f*cking thing on my eyeball and you're telling to not blink??? I got so scared at one point that I started to tighten up and shake. Well, now my neck and tops of shoulders feel like someone took a baseball bat to them.

Can I please have some whine with my cheese??????? f*ck, will this year ever end???? Let's hope 2017 is better! !!!!

OMgosh! Bless your heart!! I'm sending over a wheel of cheese, a case of crackers or a few crusty loaves of bread, and the kind of "whine" that will have you relaxed in a jiffy. Though, on second thought, wine is not good for migraines. Then again, neither is cheese. How about some pretzels and a tall cool one or six? i.e. a nice 6 pack of Michelob?

Also, have you ever tried Volteran for your carpal tunnel? I use it on my neck and shoulder for wicked soft tissues/muscle pain and it does help. Maybe your doctor has samples? Just a thought. I have the numbness and pain in my hands/wrists/forearms as well, and just try to limit my use of them. Also getting major pain in my thumb joints now. The joys of getting older!

Best to you and hoping you find some relief sooner rather than later. Oh yes, BTW - the eye stuff..........please, I'd have taken 3 Xanax.

@VioletButterfly I quit drinking almost 20 yrs ago, but lately my patience is wearing thin. In the past couple of weeks, I've fallen on ice, injuring my hand, knee, ankle, and elbow. Then cleaning off my car from the lovely snow we had, my retractable snow thingy came down on me, and took a chunk of meat right out of my hand, right between the thumb and pointer finger. Bled like bitch. Then the surgery being cancel, and now the eye shit going on. I'm on my last nerve and that one is seriously frayed......

So beer, pretzels, chocolate, wine, cheese, or any other comfort food &a drink at this point will be accepted.....

Thank you!!!,

Ouch! Maybe some Chamomile tea?

Oh my Gosh you have had more than your share lately. I do understand your frustration so well. A few yrs ago I was to have an endoscopy at the Drs. private facility, scheduled a month before. 15 hours before the procedure, at 4:45 the eve before 8 am procedure, the office called and said my insurance did not approve in full so I would have to decide if I wanted to be responsible for balance, but they would pay all at local hospital. (I would have to wait another month and was very sick) My daughter had traveled home from college to take me and was already home. They are very insensitive. All about the dr. and little about the patients needs. His facility has since been taken over by hospital. Because of other problems, like you have right now, it delayed diagnosis almost a year. They DO suck sometimes!

Doctors are corruption at most times I feel your pain. Hang in there.
