Hi yiisd,
That sounds about right by a doctor. They truly dont care about what we go thru, they are only interested in the "MONEY" that they get from us, whether its from the insurance company or if we pay out of pocket. I truly believe that they should live one hour of what we go thru & then tell us that the crap that comes out of their mouth. That stupid pain scale that they go by doesnt even come close to what we go thru & when you tell them that---their response is "well you cant hurt that bad"---they dont live with this pain. When they leave their offices you can believe that they dont think one ioata about us we dont cross their minds at all. Heck once they leave the exam room you know that they dont think about us. I dont see how they can live with themselves & the way that they treat us. If it werent for us---they wouldnt have a practice & they would be out of a job, so you would think that they would be a little more "grateful" to us & show it alot more than they do. I know that there are good doctors out there, there just needs to be more of them in the pain management field. Its a rainy day here & my pain is off the top so Im going to go now, but wanted to reply to you.
Hope that you are having a day where the pain isnt off the top. Hope to hear from you soon. What part of texas do you live? Hubby is from there. Just curious. Hope to talk again soon.
Janet
