t 2 he only option for me would be to completely give up my pain meds and renew my medical marijuana card. this would take a fair amount of money, as I will probably have to go back to a naturopath to get a renewed card
I don't like the idea of having to completely give up narcotics but the way the system works currently is that you can't do the medical marijuana and the Narcotics all at the same time. in many regards I would love to fire my pain management Team.
as a trial run I amon home health care but every time one of the workers callor text meStheir tone is like there is some sort of big emergency.They'll say that I didn't get back to them when I did the whole thing is just unbelievable stress. One of the nurses apparently decided they wanted to see me on Friday but I didn't even get the message until Friday at 4 p.m.. When I did text her back she claims she never got the message. So the communication the unprofessionalism just unreal. On the other hand the nurse that they're having me see the new nurse if they're having me see is a very good health care provider the issues are really that communication is so poor and it feels like they are running the show and patients don't really have virtually no se when it comes to scheduling.
If you need a therapist or counselor in this town and you only have Medicare you are most likely going to get stuck going to one of the behavioral health agencies. But they commonly stand me up you'll go to the appointment and then they won't even be there or the receptionist will say well I can't find you in the computer. It is really a mess and you can never communicate directly with a doctor or a physician's assistant you always have to go through a lot of other levels of communicating and in a lot of cases there is no guarantee that the proper person will ever get your message. I feel that these behavioral health agencies are okay for people who have severe developmental disabilities but for people like me who demand professionalism it's a mess and I am going to have to leave them again.the college has free counselors these are people largely people who were working on their MSW or their PhD in psychology. They demand that you promised them that you will not take your life / they call it keeping you safe, I call it these agencies making judgments about lives that they couldn't even begin to understand
No wonder so many people self medicate

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
