[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 555613, member: 1514"] This is one of those Dateline places. One of my pet peeves is doctors sitting out at their little desks while patients are in the exam rooms and we can all hear them gossiping about "us patients" like we are deaf, dumb and blind. It comes from being called "the BIPOLAR in exam 24 needs xxx". That happened in the ER when I was there for a migraine. Anyway, at this pain clinic the so called doctors were sitting at this desk that looks like a two tiered kitchen bar. They and the nurses chat and laugh and talk about the patients and make fun of how they will walk in with canes and hobble so slowly but then they see them in the parking lot standing up much better. They also were saying stuff about MRI's and xrays and just eyeballing people for diagnosis's. They were acting like they could tell what was wrong with someone just by looking at them! Now I will be damned if I know how they are getting all the MRI's when they wouldnt take mine for love nor money but I have a feeling that was because I got it on my own and it wasnt done through them so it must not be legitimate enough for them. Thing is I had it done at a very prestigious place. Much better than my local hospital. This place is a joke. I have been looking online for other places and I am going to make some calls tomorrow to try to feel them out. I will make sure that none of these doctors have ever worked for them for sure. I know I cant drive 90 miles every month, I simply cant do that on my own. My body isnt up for that much seat time because I have to drive to Fayetteville every month for my psychiatrist appointment every month too and thats a 35 mile drive too. If I have to go to the GP, that is 20 miles. I dont do well driving that long for hours on end anymore. It wouldnt be too bad if Tony could take me but that isnt gonna happen. One thing I have realized as I looked at my calendar and my rx printout is that the clinic had me come in shorter and shorter times apart there for awhile...Probably due to holidays. It actually put my appointments off by about 12 to 13 days from when I started going there and I had my appointments at the end of the month. It used to be my psychiatrist was on Tuesday and my pain doctor was on Wednesday the last week of the month. Well something changed with the pain clinic for some reason but I couldnt change when I got my pain pills filled because you cant fill them anymore frequently than once every 30 days. Just cant. So my rx's would have to be held at the pharmacy until the beginning of the month even if I got then on the 15th of the month. [/QUOTE]
