Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I went to get my wrist looked at again for the 3 week follow up for bracing and doing physio and the OS was a moron! He first asked me why I was there if I hadnt had any of the tests he ordered done. So I told him the EMG wasnt until September 15th and his office hadnt called me for the MRI yet. So he told me that I will just have to take a few days off in september then to come down for the tests and consultation appointments. Well I told him that I would not be able to do this as I would be in school and am already going to be missing a few weeks in november for my knee surgery. At this point he says " What do you want me to do write your exams for you? " . I was shocked at what he said. He also told me that I had to figure out my priorities and should probably postpone my knee surgery (which I have been on the waiting list for since january). I was not satisfied with this so he then asks me what he wants me to do. I told him I wanted to be able to work and live a semi normal life. So he says " Do you want me to go and work for you too? " . I couldnt belive the disrespect he was showing me! Eventually I was crying and he just walked out of the cubicle. At this point I left the hospital basically in tears. A lady held the door open for me and asked me if I was okay. As she got into her car she also made sure that I had a way home. I must have looked like crap! I came home and pretty much crawled into bed. I felt horrible. I was in a bad mood plus he had played around with my wrist so I didnt feel good either. So mom figures I should give up on this guy and call the clinic that I go to for my knee to see if I could get in to see someone there about my wrist. I am just so fed up with doctors that I dont even want to do this. I dont want to have to prove to yet another doctor that I am in pain even though it looks like nothing is wrong on the xrays. I was thinking today about how many different doctors I have been to and how many different medications I have been on this last year and it was truly depressing I mean I am 22 years old and my life revolves around doctors appointments and physiotherapy. I just really feel like giving up I dont want to do this anymore Stacey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
