brainstemmed,

I have a Kaiser question for you. Have you seen the file folder they put in the door pouch when you have a clinic visit ? I bet yours is a thick file. This makes it very difficult to get care at Kaiser. We become known as 'thick file' patients. They discount our complaints.

I was a thick file Kaiser patient before I left Kaiser. I was not sick. I work hard and tend to bust up my body. Patient services needs to be contacted. I knew the director of patient services and she tried to get me to appropriate doctors. The 'good doctor' saw the thick file and labeled me somatoform.
