Healthcare and the lack thereof

tSI went today to complete my nerve conduction study but it was so excruciating that I was unable to complete the testing.


 the specialist figured if he just went ahead and limited his testing to a couple of acupuncture needles that I would be okay,  but again I screamed out because it felt like he had set my leg on fire. He stressed that he is definitely not there to torture me so he went ahead and stopped the testing.

I do want to reiterate that my experiences in this particular building with physicians and text has been very positive. The clinic has even won awards for their work a lot of it is rehab and orthopaedic work.

My hope was to find out what kind of nerve damage I have and what to expect for the future. He told me to go ahead and set up a follow up with Myneurologist and the neurologist will read the test results or at least those results that the specialist was able to obtain today as well as the results from the hand and arm test that I took a couple of weeks ago.

With the exception of just a couple of specialist pretty much every other clinic and healthcare worker in my life right nowI would love to fire.

The unprofessionalism just blows my mind. It can be very difficult to verbalize it to you unless I directly read out of my journals which I especially enjoyed doing during my "looking back at" series.

I would have called the phlebotomy clinic first however when I tried to do that I got voicemail the only way you can use the phone tree is if you know the lab workers last name but none of them wear name tags. So I decided to just head over there, when I got there I was told that the phlebotomist that I need won't be back for up to two more hours because of her lunch break. I really think this woman enjoy telling me that I would have to wait hours. When I asked what time the phlebotomist will be going to lunch the following day and how long she will be out I was told she will go to lunch whenever she feels like going to lunch.

Some of my friends do not feel that my general anger at society is valid but the one friend in particular who feels this way is very sheltered from real life due to her extreme wealth.

regarding thePain management  office: they are also shockinglyunprofessional.  the MDnever meets with me they always have me meet with the nurse.  she talks about her own health her mother'S TV show preferences and her dogs health.

I was telling her about one particularly persistent health problem that is not directly related to pain management. She responded that is absolutely disgusting don't ever bring up that subject again!It was really weird the last time that I was there she told me to go ahead and do whatever I need to do in the bathroom before making a purchase that I needed to make. When I got out of the bathroom she said where did you go and I said well you told me to get my business out of the way but you you haven't made your purchase yet and I said that's because you told me to get my business out of the way. She said when you went into the bathroom you left your cash in the waiting room and I said no I didn't she said yes you did I said no I didn't my cash is right here in my back pocket C. I don't know I gotta wonder sometimes if they're all high or not
