, I am so very sorry. You should get the MRI just so you can say you did it

all. I hope your doctor relents.

I'll pray for you, honey.

Back from the er/never got seen/iam so done

Well after 4 toturous hours in the most uncomfortable waiting area seat

ever, I gave up and came home. I saw all kinds go before me, who came after

I did and were not nearly as urgent to be seen. Urgent gets seen first. I am

so done fighting this crap. I am just gonna live with the pain. Done it

before and will do it again. I am not dr hopping again either. I will get

the MRI and that is probly as far as I will take it. Maybe not even that. I

am so tired frustrated and angry at how I have been treated. There is not

alot of health care professionals these days that give a rat's behind about

more than making a living. Money money money. No compassion for folks.

Really sad. No wonder people self-medicate. Thanks for listening to me rant

and rave. For your support and friendship. I wil bother you no longer.

Have a good night. I am hoping to get some sleep. Maybe if I drink a glass

of wine, I will relax. No worries, Not with any meds.

Hugs to all

,

I've walked out of the ER in a storm of anger before. Nothing like feeling

like you don't exist when you are in so much pain. I remember being seen

one night and the doctor told me when he pressed on my stomach that I was

" too sensitive " , in his very condescending way. He gave me valium or

something through the IV. I finally took the IV out and got dressed. He

told me I couldn't leave because of the medication and being the stubborn

woman that I am, I signed myself out, looked at the nurse (the doctor was

standing behind her) and I told the nurse that since they don't seem to be

treating patients very well, the doctor really needed a personality implant.

Yes, and I drove myself home.
