I Don't Want To Go To Er. I'm A Baby.

Well, thanks everyone for going with me, everyone was so nice to me. It was a horrible test and it showed the stenosis was worse than even I imagined. One of the comments I overheard was - I hope Dr. M can fix that. Yikes! But I feel vindicated because I don't lie about my pain or symptoms. There is horrible stenosis there and I want it fixed!
 
Isnt it awful that being treated as if we are making things up, invalidated and as if we are crazy is sometimes worse that the awful stuff we need to deal with.

This happened to me a lot of times over the years. Many times I ended up in tears. When I finally found doctors who took me seriously, and one who finally found out what was wrong, I was happy. Not happy at the condition of course but happy that I wasn't crazy(well not more then usual ;)). I did want to call all those doctors and write them to tell them what jerks I thought they were, so there! :p
 
Monster, it's actually sort of fun to run over idiot's toes. Not that I ever did it on purpose, Cough, cough.

It's like when I had a bad fall in October of last year. My power chair fell on top of me, after I hit the ground. So I was black and blue on both sides. I already had cellulitis on both legs, so it wasn't pretty. Anyway, I ended up in the mental unit because they didn't believe I was really hurt (they assumed this because they never looked at my body). anyway, after two of weeks of being there, and being humiliated several times (having to crawl on the floor, because they wouldn't help me get up off the toilet.) I finally took my pants off and made a male nurse look at my feet and legs. He was shocked and they got me right to bed, elevated my legs, put them on ice and I was released the next day. Now why couldn't they have called my own doctor like I ask them to in the ER? Numb nuts.
