Re: Re: Unhappy With Pain Managment Doctor-Bennie

[Guest guest]

Bennie,

I certainly would not resort to buying drugs off the street, but understand why

one would get desperate enough to do such a thing. I feel like I am surrounded

by idiots (doctors) sometimes and that I do more constructive research than they

do. I'm off to see one this afternoon but know its going to be a waste of my

time. I know it sounds like I have a bad attitude but years of dealing with bad

doctors has made me a bit cynical. I'm working on it (from within).

illegal drugs but where he receives his medication, a pain pump,

and full medical service free! Something is wrong with our system.

Caitlin,

I am in the same boat now. My insurance approved me seeing an out of

network doctor and now they are not paying so I am appealing and while

I am doing this, an eight thousand dollar bill is on my credit card.

This goes back to 2005, and I am going to call them to task on this one

because I have all the documentation.

I now have the job of finding one close to home as I drive three hours

to see this one. I pay three hundred a month and then 200.00 a month

for my son. My primary care is supposed to be able to write these but

he is such a dork !

So I will be doctor hunting again. My nurse practitioner is so great,

I wish she could write my prescriptions. I am titered up to what I

need so I may go back to my old pain management clinic and say, You are

on my insurance plan and it says you will provide this service. I know

it sounds rude, but I am at the rude point. I will let you know how it

turns our : )
