Geezus, Some of you know some of you don't. Awhile back I had some trauma to my ribs, (koda jumped on me, while I was on the floor landed square on my back) Anyway nough background, been in pain for awhile. This week it seemed like to me the pain was getting sooo much worse instead of better. Tried to get a Doctors appointment at one of the clinics ( Read more... )

don't get me started on "doctors".

if something serious happens they are more of a threat that a help.

and god forbid if you heal at a different rate or have an allergy to a prescription poison...

I would love to see a national health care.
but I fear that it would be more mis-managed than docs on workman's comp.
(lots of horror stories from 'WC'.
but I keep it in the same place I keep the fact that I might be in pain...to myself)

its why I haven't been to the doctors for so long, well shrug I tried to things the traditional american way. I hate it when they say "why haven't you been in for your follow ups for cancer" They hate it when I say because you peole make it impossible, and even when I do get in, you don't do anything to help. I am not a good patient!

holy friholi! a 300 buck downpayment for an x-ray? what are they printing them on, ancient egyptian papyrus? that's just insane! of course i'm in total agreement with you on doctor's anymore. when i got TMJ, the doctor gave me a massive amount of ibuprofen to take every day, ibuprofen being an anti-inflamatory of course. well, i started having these odd attacks, heart rate suddenly taking off on it's own at full gallop, heart pounding in my chest so hard it hurt, and of course not knowing what the heck to make of it, i called 911 and got to ride in the ambulance a few times up to the emergency room, where of course by the time i got up there my heart rate and blood pressure were coming back down to normal, so of course there wasn't a thing wrong with me. until i got smart, went online and found out that if you are taking toprol, which i am, you are not supposed to take any anti-inflamatory drug because it makes the toprol virtually ineffective, and you are never supposed to suddenly stop taking toprol, and since the same doctor gave ( ... )
