I am just disgusted and frustrated with all of the medical care Jessie has been receiving.
The pediatrician doesn't want to do ANYTHING with/for Jessie. For this problem or for any other problem. She did the referral to the neuro and is done.
Neuro says nothing showed on his tests so he doesn't want to deal with her. Is rude and condescending on the phone. Tried to YELL at me about addiction.
(Are you aware that children who are properly treated for pain with narcotics have a less than 1% risk of addiction?)
No one cares that she is in agony.
She is unable to handle the online school. She is trying to do just math. I NEED a docs note to do this, but no one will write or sign one. They tell me to go ask the other doctor.
I am just about ready to scream.
Jessie WANTS to do schoolwork. She just simply isn't capable of a 6 or even a 2 course load.
IF her pain was managed and fairly well controlled she would be able to do much more. But the docs don't want to treat ANYTHING relating to her right now.
I am making an appointment iwth a psychiatrist for her because the pediatrician and neuro both SWEAR that this is probably anxiety and she can 'get over it on her own'. BOTH have used that exact wording and I want to yank their lungs out through their nostrils!
Thanks for the vent. It just hits me hard when the docs just refuse to help.
