Default Ever have a doc freak out on you?

Well...I did today. I went to see my new pain doctor that I was referred to by my original pain doctor after complications from my last 2 LSBs. She was very nice...but was totally appalled at my condition and told me I needed to be admitted to a hospital in the city or Mayo Clinic immediately. She asked me several time (probably because I seemed so calm) if I understood what she was telling me...there is something seriously wrong with me and I need a full work up and that I needed to have my primary care doctor refer me for hospitalization.

Ummm...it's been a hellish month and some since I had the last block that caused all these problems (or triggered all these problems as the neurologist said). So I KNOW there is something seriously wrong with me...but to see it from a third party's point of view...a pain doctor of all things...

I've never seen a doctor freak out like that. She just kept shaking her head and telling me that there was something seriously wrong with me. That threw me for a loop that I am still reeling from 8 hours later. She was completely appalled at my condition and it freaked me out that she was so freaked out.

I still don't really know what to say...but I called my primary care doctor and left a message about the pain doctor's recommendation (which she said she was faxing over to him). Hope he calls back tomorrow because I'm actually getting scared now. Hard to keep that positive outlook when a doctor freaks out and freaks you out...I've just never seen a doctor act like that. And I saw her interact with other patients and nurses and she didn't seem like the sort of person who is prone to act that way.

Anyway...this ever happen to anyone else??
