TO: and all

[Guest guest]

The last two times I have been to MUSC were in October, so I am not

worrying about it. I have been there just about every month of the

year.

I am sure Dr. Cotton will see me. I had heard he was cutting back

referrals too. My GI doc that I use to have, when I was sick last

year, told me that she didn't want to refer me there because he

probably would not see me anyway she heard. I told her that was not

right that I was an established patietn and had my PCP do the

referral. no problem. This was the GI doc though that I had had

for 7 years who sent me a letter out of the blue dumping me because

I was " too sick " for her and needed care by a " group. " I have found

out since then, that she has done this on many, many occasions with

other patients. When they get too sick, she dumps them. I think

she needs to be run out of business. She only wants to do

colonoscopies and other procedures for the " money. " Makes me sick.

Enough of that.

I am on my way to the pain management doc today. Gotta get out of

here. That is another problem I need to write about soon. It is a

major joke.

Kaye, a doc told me the same thing. He said something like, " You are too

sick for me to take care of. I don't know enough about what is wrong with

you. " The guy was a Gastroenterologist.
