I hope you are feeling better today, I understand how bad days can

be. I want to apologize for not being there for you when you were

reaching out. I guess I was too self absorbed in my own self pity.

Since this chronic condition is relatively new to me compared to you

and most of the others I have not had such negative experiences with

physicians and staff. You are right though, as a nurse we were

trained to look out for individuals who may be presenting with drug

seeking behavior. I never really believed it much though, because

if any body really wanted drugs that badly it is not that hard to

find it on the street and even now I get spam emails all the time

offering controlled substances. I have had patients who come in for

surgery who are drunk or stoned; bless their little hearts trying to

help the anestheiologist along. I just want to remind you that as a

patient you are the customer, you are buying a service provided by

the physician and staff and that you should always be treated with

the respect you deserve. I truly hope this day will be better for

you; and me too.

Warmly with love
