Update re Psych, Gastro and Pain doc from Debs

[Guest guest]

I called medtronics today and will talk to them tomorrow arvo re

teaching my pain doc the pain pump and SCS. So I am onto it told him

he can learn and use it on me.

I also have him doing the intercostal block in next few weeks and

then possible trigger point injection whereby they can hopefully

prove surgical damage etc so I am making progress

he was very impressed with me throwing away my antidepressants

sleeping tablets etc and said that's great and good I said I know

grin. Now for the rest I said

They have doubled my dose of neurontin and have now yahoo changed me

to oxycontin which is now subsidised.

Haha he enquired how my mum was

I said well depending on whether I get the pump etc she made need to

rarck your boss up and come back he said oohh good. He said she

hacked some of the nurses off by complaining to the duty manager I

said well they weren't doing there job weren't qualified for even a

pca on that ward and the hospital needs a pain ward. They don't do

anything until u arrive and you saw that when you ordered the

ketamine and 8 hours later I was still sitting in regency. I said

they don't do anything until you arrive. You saw it then he said yes

I was annoyed I said just like that is what they do when you are not

there. I said your mission should be to keep me out of this hospital

I hate it and if I end up in here my Mum comes too he quivered so

you don't want that she's like a rottweiller!!!! She gets action

unless you are the squeaky wheel it doesn't happen.

I told him and the Psych doc today the pain pump was my objective

and to prove that this is surgical damage etc and to get it sorted I

wont stop until it is

Lol I said u are doing the intercostal block aren't you not the old

nasty pain doc he said.. I said u no one else I don't trust him. I

said u wont stuff up he said he has once a pneoumthorax but I said u

wont with me ... he said it's obvious in sometimes minutes. I said

wont happen to me ....

He love research and as he is head of Dept I said well I have found

the Medtronic's man he wanted to know the name I said I will get

that for you. I said you could learn and I could be the first

here!!!!!

So all in all we are making progress heaven help the old pain doc if

he ever darkens my door as I have yelled loud and clear to all who

listens in that team how bad he is so I think they are watching him

like a hawk.

I also know that he has as I understand learnt from this

experience..... I called his ethics and procedures and informed

consent into question which he breached many times and damaged my

relationship and made me worse. Those psychs were appalled as he has

left me with even less support then I had due to his stuff ups with

my partner!!!!

I won't forgive him AND I won't forget him. I think I have made a

loud enough noise that they will be watching him closely and now

that my pain doc has seen me like my normal self he can see I am

reasonable and not good in a hospital situation in pain..... I

believe I have lucked in

I also have seen a gastro today he said I have seen top surgeon in

NZ he knows and respects and he asked how I found him I said through

him I checked u out. He will check for pancretaitis again, liver,

kidney blood tests celiac disease and he thinks most likely my probs

are caused by surgical damage.

Which they all think now to agree next step is to prove it via

intercostal block and then to get them to write it then I make a

claim and its a no fault situation and I am then ok and will get the

pain pump.
