Beth       09/01/05 07:11 AM Edit Reply Quote BL Reged: 06/01/03 Posts: 3522 I'm sorry you had to go through this. It sounds like the doctor had already looked at your files and made up his mind before he even saw you. (Or he had talked to the other doctor). Please don't give up! And please don't take this personally. Unfortunately, a lot of doctors today don't have any compassion for their patients. They're only in this business for the profit. If a patient won't bring in money for them, they're not interested in them! I had the same experience when I was having back problems. I saw 2 doctors that were highly recommended. After waiting months for an appointment and hours in the waiting room, they both took one look at me, and said, "I'm sorry there's nothing I can do to help you!" One of them----the most pompous jerk I've ever met---told me I just needed to exercise! I was in severe pain. I couldn't even sleep at night lying down. I had to sleep sitting up. A nurse friend persuaded me to go see another doctor, and guess what? He took one look at my X-rays (that the other doctor had taken. One didn't even bother to take any X-rays!) and said, "OH MY GOSH! This is not a normal X-ray!" He was appalled that the other 2 doctors had dismissed my pain and treated me with such disrespect. He sent me for an MRI, and I do have a serious problem with my back (a problem with 2 discs). I am without back pain today because of the compassion and kind heart of this sweet doctor who---unlike the other 2 jerks---cares about his patients immensely. (He even calls me at home at the end of the day to discuss tests results with me, and goes over every option available to me.) I worship the ground he walks on. I'm telling you this so that you will not give up! There is a doctor out there that cares ----and will help you. As for the two doctors you saw, I'd make sure I registered a complaint about them. I think the recommendation that you call your insurance company (or nurse hotline) for a referral is a good idea. Keep searching, and you will find a good doctor. I will pray that you find one as wonderful as mine! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
