Rarely do I rant, however I truly need to do this!
Wednesday I went to the Headache Center at Jefferson Univ. in Philadelphia. After first being told I did not qualify after my Neuro passed way in July; then 2 other Neuro's turned me away; I was to complicated.
So I saw 2 nurses, a Pyschologist and finally the Neuo. UGH!
What a bunch of arrogant and slightly pompus people! The Neuro closes his eyes when he talks to you!
Anyway he wanted to put me in the hospital for IV for a week to break the pain cycle. Extreme NO? Ended up with 2 ten day meds at home and an increase in my topomax.
This guy does not agree with John Hopkins diagnosis from 2009. Says I don't have ALL the symptoms. Well of course not, I am on meds to stop them. DUH? He laughed at me[ i did not say duh to his face] Then he could not understand why the Botox 3 years about did not work because according to his dx I am classic for it to work. I said, perhaps the original dx is correct. His reply? No, NO that's not it.
Good Lord, then when I was leaving, he was walking me out and he asked how I did like my former Neuro [ he died in July ] I said great. He replies. Yeah, but he had his own little Fifedom over there, didn't he? I just shrugged my shoulders.
And I thought Wall Street was cut throat!
Well, on to the APPRECIATION, for the best docs I currently have/had and my therapist. This support site and all my friends here. Especially the close ones I have made. My support group here in town.
With all this goodness, I was bound to get a bad doc sooner or later, and if arragance is all I have to deal with, so be it. It is still a blessing.
I hope everyone can find something to be thankful for today to make the bad things better in your life. Use your skills and learn new ones. Remember Punishing the punished does not make sense.
Love Peace and strength.
