[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 331628, member: 1991"] It sounds like a very frustrating time. I too have done the "read from my written list" routine. I had one doctor who insisted I answer his questions and give my detailed history to him verbally. I said, "I have a printout here, I typed it all up for you before I came," but he insisted. So I read from my printout. That was a worker's comp consult, he was seeing me for the insurance company (and his job was to make my life a misery in order to persuade me to drop the case) and that consult literally lasted six hours! Because of course Workers Comp was paying the bill. The pain specialist should not have treated you all like this. He may have been concerned at putting a young child on strong pain medications, but he should have done his best to findsomething to try, that could help relive her pain. The pain specialist that husband & I see is attached to a public hospital clinic. In my experience these have been the best specialists in general - those connected to hospital clinics. I'm not sure if this would be the same in the US. Marg [/QUOTE]
