“When I showed the doctor what they would pay for she accused me of being a drug seeker and just quit seeing me.”
I’d have that woman up before an ethics board, a state medical examiner etc. etc with an accusation like that. That is outrageous and I am certain you’d have some type of recourse.
Traveling 150 miles due to this woman’s unprofessional behavior is terrible. I do hope you make a few calls and see what can be done about the issue.
I understand you just can’t go to a hospital across the street after such a bad experience but there must be something that can be done.
I have considered legal action against her, but in the condition I’m in it doesn’t seem possible right now.
I am tied up right now in my 3rd year of trying to get my disability, and also make the early move to Medicare.
If I can complete that task (one I really didn’t want to do) it should allow me to go back to the meds that helped me for 10 years.
After that the wife and I are moving to southern NM, and drier, warmer climate as a means of lessening the symptoms.
An attorney told me I probably have a case, but it’s going to be long, and expensive, and said if I wasn’t seeking huge monetary victory, most wouldn’t take it on.
The laws here are written by democrats. They have approached the Pain med issue the same way they do guns.
There were problems with people abusing these drugs, but instead of going after the abusers, and the dealers, they went after the doctors, and took it away from people like me with legitimate needs. And just like guns, it hasn’t worked. The ones who were abusing the pain meds, and their dealers have moved on to Heroin, and we people in real daily pain have been abandoned.
The situation is frustrating, infuriating, and depressing, and all that on top of being in blinding pain 20 hours a day.
I have come very close to the edge of the “cliff” a few times, but somehow God keeps pulling me back, and strengthening my patience.
