I also told him I was displeased with his attitude and treatment towards myself, a patient and his customer. He responded by saying he wanted to make sure I was not drug seeking, and then went on to say that he would like to still try and work with me in some manner.
He then went on to say that he would not prescribe me any narcotics or muscle relaxers as I had tested positive for THC (no **** sherlock, I had stated that I am an occasional user of cannabis from time to time on your little sheets and before you even gave me the **** test, so what was the point?). Not that I want to be on these things forever but they help a little for now. He did give me a script for pool physical therapy which I asked for and know I need.
At least I have an appointment with Dr. Argoff and he has enough time now for me to be a regular patient, and he also is a friend of my mothers and her boyfriend (who works in oncology at the same hospital, Albany Medical Center). This guy is also a lot more reasonable and friendly, and doesn't wear oakley reading glasses and $7,000 suits to work like that other @$$.
Thank you all for your help and support it has been a real life saver, I wish I could comment on all your posts and reciprocate a little more right now but I have to go, thanks again.
