Re: sent away because I had too many symptoms!!!! by my PCP, refuses to treat me!

[Guest guest]

: the medical records belong to you by law!!! he cannot not give them back. put in writing to him you expect them to be mailed to you within the 30 day period allowed by HIPPA or you will turn him over to the State Board of Medical Examiners. i'm sure he'll comply! good luck.

That in their urgent car they dx. me with somehting and in there regular office they said it wasn't so. Was it because the blood work came back neg. and they shouldn't have said anything, or that they don't want to bother looking at all the

possibilities? I think, I am too detailed of a case, I may know a little more than the drs. want me to, I may be a tad argumentative or debate an issue, but in the long run they are wrong. Alls I did was ack question and ask to be heard. He cut me off in a heart beat and said we're informing your ins. co. you'll need a different dr. we can't treat you but will provide you with referrals. I was in total shock! Any help would be appreciated. Love

,

I know how frustrated that you feel. When I first got sick 6 years

ago with the adhesion problem I could not get help from anyone even

though I worked for the hospital that did my surgery. I tried to sue

them for years because I was so angry at the way that they treated

me. I ended up going to germany for surgery twice for an experimental

treatment only now to find that it was toxic as well.

My answer to you is not to expect help from the medical

profession. I refuse to go to doctors except for my refills of pain

meds in which will be a thing of the past (I hope). Doctors are also

good for doing emergency surgery and diagnosing conditions. Other

than that you will find the best doctor is yourself. I find so many

answers here on line and from reading and keeping up with the latest

holistic treatments. We have to let go of that anger because nothing

we can say or do will change them. Over time, the medical world as we

know them will collapse. I am trying to think of ways that I can help

others someday by getting my strength back and going back to school

for something in the holistic field. Even if I got cancer I would not

seek treatment from traditional means. I had two ruptured implants

and I know that I am healing each and everyday. It takes consitant

detox and attention to our diets, exercise, water intake, etc. etc.

God bless and remember how bad that the stress is for our bodies.

YOu are being treated shamefully. I never cease to be amazed that

many doctors are so arrogant and heartless and cold. Obviously, he

would have never been a help to you anyway. I will be praying you

can find someone more compassionate. Have you looked into holistic

doctors? They are usually far better at helping you.

Unfortunately, there are so few that they are not on most people's

insurance lists. Do you have to go only to certain docs in a

network? Don't let these bozos get to you. it is ridiculous to

have to argue with doctors on top of the problems you already have.

Many of us have been in the same boat. I learn to get around them

as much as I can. I research alot and do what I can without them.

If I need something from them, I find away to get it without going

into the implants. They certainly turn a deaf ear and then don't

seem to want to have anything to do with you. YOu have to realize

that most of them believe whatever they hear. And they hear that

implants are safe and we are a bunch of hysterical women who need to

see therapists. Mainstream docs also do not want to hear the words

candida, mycoplasma, detox, liver cleanse, enemas, etc. They think

it all a bunch of mumbojumbo. You have to hook up with the right

people. There are even fewer rheumys who believe in anything other

than immune suppressants and pain killers and standard testing.

Some believe in antibiotic therapy and they are few and far between

too. Have you tried going online to find holistic or alternative

doctors in your area? The yellow pages? Hang in there.
