Guest guest Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 wen to see my pain doc the new one last week lets say teh contrast between the old one and new one are out of sight. I am still considering formalising a complaint against the foreign doctor who treate dme abhorrently and obtaine dno writtten consent for any of his procedures and effectively used me as his guinea pig. I will do this in part to ensure that noone else has to go throught what I went through and maybe to ensure he doesnt stay in New Zealand. I have gone back and have had good success with neurontin and I am only on 600 mg a day so I hope that with that increaisng I will be able to drop my morphine. I have also made it very clear that my intention is to have a SCS or pain pump, but they have onoy done scs for angina pain in anotehr hospital clos eby, and maybe 2 to 3 pain pumps in th ehospital I am at now. I have said that this is my expectation as th epain meds cause me such sever cosntipation that I cnat cope anymore. I have also gone to have a gastrocpy to see if i had an ulcer, what they have seen is a lot of bile and I am unsure why, I saw this sugreon re the cosntipation and his answer was to remove my large bowel and that would fix it, I sai dno I would rather have the pain treated. He was th eperson who left me in the position int he forst place from the first surgery so there is no way i wil go back to him he also almost kille dme putting an NG tube in via a general but the pain doc anesthtist stopped the procedure. So cut happy surgeon is off the christmas card list I am stil lsuffering fromt he svere headaches be they spinal or concussion. I have also halved my nortryptiline dose and stoped th eimmovane and aropax in the last 2 weeks. I have also seen the pain psych who saw me 6 years ago when I was in pain and also starte dth evisit off ith saying I had a checkered history with my treatment her goal is to restor emy faith teach relaxation and TM. I am scheduled to see a psych as well in 2 weeks as well as my pain doc. Not to keen on the psych but hey will talk with her. Since my complaint re my treatment lets say that I am now gettign some help, for the first time. Another goal I have is to go back to the guy that caused my inital surgery problems until he admits fault, I have time and insurance and will succeed, I have doen a lot of research on site sre my pain blind tests and us eof placebos and see that the american pain society find sit abhorrnet, I also have found that here in NZ that they must get written consent for proecures none of which my old pain doc did. I am no longer angry, but I will complain so that he never does this again and treats people in pain with such constempt and unprofessionally and also doesnt treat their pain, eg no compassion cheers debs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
