So once again the whole medicaid thing has come to kick me. THEY picked my pcp for me. The guy I am now forced to go see to get a referral to any of my specialists... ummmm, he's an internal medicine specialist. So they are going to pay for a specialist to get a referral to a specialist. The one specialist I actually don't need. I have a nerve/ brain chick, I have a bone guy, I have a girly doc guy, and a bladder/kidney guy, and I have a whole team of physical therapists and soon to add a pain management guy since of the pain meds I am currently on are not working. So why do I need this new guy?? Oh yeah, I need to be cleared by the internal Medicine specialist to see my neuro. I also now need a referral for my Ty infusions, and all of my follow ups with the current docs. This is BULL and they know it.

Maybe he can refer me to a new Ortho without changing my phys therapy guys. My Ortho sucks. I broke my back almost 13 weeks ago. Redid Xray today and it is still broken. So i ask what is the avg time for this kind of fracture to heal? 6-8 weeks he says... hello?? It'll be 13 weeks on Thursday and he sees nothing wrong with this. So I tell him how the neuro said I needed to talk to him about pain meds since it is mostly joint and back pain. He decided to "up the dosage" on my tramadol. So he put me on the once a day 200mg extended release pill. I am not quite sure how that is upping the dosage from the 6 a day 50mg pills I was on as of this morning. Last time I did the math, his "increase" is really a 100mg decrease in a pill that is already not working. Did I mention this guy sucks?
