[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 168029"] Thank you for the good vibes Abbey. My last rheumy was at OSU hospital. The doctor I had when I had the heart attack - the one that told me 6 weeks prior that I had chronic fatigue and was just going to have to learn to live with it - worked for OSU Medical Centers - it was a satellite office, not at the hospital. She's also the same one that treated me like I was drug seeking when I had the second bleed after the second heart cath. The first one was [B]right retroperitoneal[/B]. She ordered a CT after the second and wrote NO NEW BLEED on it. All of my other doctors that have read that report say that I did, in fact, have a new bleed. It mentioned evidence of a prior removed hematoma and a small hematoma in the [B]left extraperitoneal[/B]. First heart cath went in the right groin, second one in the left. Not hard to figure out. It's excruciatingly painful and she treated me like I was drug seeking. They had me on IV dilaudid for 2 1/2 days at the hospital with the first one. Then when I was having the allergic reaction to the Plavix and was on benadryl and steroids, she told me she couldn't see me until June. It was April when this was going on. The doctors (GP, cardiologist, neuro) I see now are all affiliated with another hospital group that is non-profit. The heart hospital I was in is part of that group and is listed in the top 50 heart hospitals in the country. I have really good doctors. The cardiologist is among the best in the state. People come from all over the state to go to that group. My neuro fellowed at Mayo Clinic. I do realize that and know that I'm fortunate in that respect. I am just so frustrated by the lack of a sense of urgency. I've been looking into these specific issues for almost a year now and am not much further than I was when I started. Everyone keeps thinking the next guy will have the answers and they don't and in the interim, nothing was really being treated. I mean, so what if nothing shows up on the bloodwork. I have physical symptoms that you can see and feel. Treat them. [/QUOTE]
