against the wall? But then what? Be cool, conniving, collected, with your facts like ducks in line to shoot down and go to each nay-sayer doc and ask? Excuse ME? Can you PLEASE provide me now with papers, diagnostic resources and any other research that point you in a direction? That MY OWN INSTINCT doesn't concur with?
I'm not a mental case, I am a stressed out sick hurting person! And rite now? You are or are not helping me, especially with some of your implications.
This sounds 'harsh' to say to a physician? As many are worse than old maid gossips. But at the same time, to stand up for yourself could gain you the respect all over that YOU Deserve. I've done that and it wasn't risky at the time? Because the first neuro I dealt with was a dud. Chock full of biases, and granted the first 3 steps of 'testing' were compentently done? The 4th & 5th were questionable and the rest was negligence. So I changed docs, and got some life back. Albiet more damage was done under that care?
Honestly, at times? WHY should it feel as IF we are going thru a 'mental exam' while at the neuro's? Re-Look at the tests! Take new tests! and then go DUH?!!!!!!!!!!! 's to you good person!
Keep assaulting those docs with your own knowledge and let them KNOW they're not gonna get off so easily. We aren't stupid and we should be treated with more respect than we often are.
I found that in other medical issues? They'll walk you around as if you are deaf and blind! Any docs that say out and out 'trust me'? I am GONE! FAST!
That old phrase 'We didn't communicate well' does it's job for future docs!
Do you sense a little bit of past frustrations bubbling up here? NAH! 's J
PS Where are any FANGS when I need them?
