Sorry just gotta rant otherwise I am going to bust into tears!!! I hate dealing with this non the less dealing with DOCTORS!!!
I have been pushed from Dr to Dr to lab to x-ray and I finally thought I found hope. The only way to get into this clinic is to have my GP fax all the medical info then a Dr at the new clinic reviews and set an appt. Well I have been sitting here for 3 days waiting for the call and they just got my records, I had to call them. Now I have to wait till Monday to get an appt set and the wait for the appt which could take months to get in!!!!
I never used to be this angry of a person . It makes me just want to crawl in bed and never come out. I am on the verge of depression, I cannot take it anymore. This is taking over my life my marriage!!!
Sorry just had to get it out!!!

Don't ever feel sorry for the way you feel!! I started a thread the other day called Medical Thinkers and talked all about how much I hate doctors!!! I just went through the exact thing with trying to get an appointment this morning!!! They just seem so uncaring and unmotivated to get us in there. It seems like they take their time. Not that there aren't other people out there with important issues too, but it doesn't make things any less frustrating!
I am totally with you on all that you are feeling - you aren't alone.

Thanks angelas!! I read your post and there is so much truth in that. It is just hard been dealing with this sooo long then waiting yet longer to see a Dr who could actually help.
I have an appt at a Women's Clinic at the end of Feb. so hopefully I will make it till then. My GP prescribed enough painkillers to take down a horse so that should help. I just hate masking pain, it is there for a reason.

I completely missed this thread! Sorry! I would have posted a reply sooner! I think we can all relate to the extreme frustration you are feeling! I think the staff at my gyne's office are SO inept! It seems like they screw up every single thing and even cancel appointments w/out telling anyone and then lie about it later! Good luck w/ everything. It's easy to become depressed dealing w/ all the B.S. of going from one doc. to the next! Hopefully we can brighten your spirits a bit! "...enough painkillers to take down a horse..." LOL!

that was my thoughts exactly as well when it comes to taking the pain meds. My last trip to the specialist had him tell me just to start taking Lupron... but that would have only masked what they weren't willing to directly look at. I finally found out that I have my appointment with the surgeon on March 12, so I know what you mean by making it until then as well. But don't worry, you can always find all the support you need here whenever you feel on edge or otherwise! Keep us posted k?
