Not that it makes it ok that you went through that at all. I will send a prayer up that you will find a specialist nearby you and one with everything you need. :) If it makes you feel any better, I also care for my mom and bring her with me to many of my appointments for the same reason you pointed out. <br />I will add both you and your mom into my prayers.<br />Good luck.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03865557764270025620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22275469461351847.post-46300989939177170432009-09-23T14:35:39.827-04:002009-09-23T14:35:39.827-04:00i am at a lose for words..i think you handled that...i am at a lose for words..i think you handled that GREAT....:)FIGHTERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12576347336902237223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22275469461351847.post-3473072790549956002009-09-23T10:19:18.057-04:002009-09-23T10:19:18.057-04:00Maureen-- I'm so sorry and to sad to hear you ...Maureen-- I'm so sorry and to sad to hear you had to go through this. What you went through here is an example of what most of us with complex chronic illnesses go through too many times--a doctor that has made up their mind before they see you and therefore CAN'T truly see you or treat you. The way you were treated is nothing short of discrimination (like racism=judgment for the color of one's skin, you were judged for the contents of your chart--too thick, too complicated--and that you had an advocate with you (which is advised for all who have illnesses which effect cognition).<br /><br />You were awesome to get up and out of there! Yeah, Maureen! May the next doctor have an open mind, open eyes and a compassionate heart and gentle hands. Sending you warm comforting energy over the miles as I know it takes a lot out of you to go through such an awful experience.Kerryhttp://www.lemon-aideonline.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22275469461351847.post-33117561476098420582009-09-23T00:39:25.095-04:002009-09-23T00:39:25.095-04:00Posts like this are exactly the reason I enjoy rea...Posts like this are exactly the reason I enjoy reading blogs such as yours -- you write about what many of us are experiencing, & let us know we are not alone. Despite the recommendations of many of my friends & family, I am NOT "anti-doctor," but appointments like the one you described are extremely frustrating! I applaud you for recognizing the fact that you & that doctor would not be capable of working together. I am typically able to take at least one helpful tidbit of information from each new doctor, even if I have no intention of seeing him again -- that way it feels as though it wasn't a total waste of my time. Hopefully by now you have rested & "treated" yourself in such a way that you are blissfully past this incident so you can tackle another day. :)Alicianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22275469461351847.post-31074766725666405252009-09-22T19:45:41.506-04:002009-09-22T19:45:41.506-04:00I am sorry to hear about your experience with that...I am sorry to hear about your experience with that doctor! What a horrible thing she did to you! I can understand how hard it would be to shake the terrible feelings she left you with.

I am so sorry you had to go through this. ...Maureen<br />I am so sorry you had to go through this. I really am tired of doctors treating those who are ill like they are an in-convenience! It is their job for heavens sake to HELP to LISTEN to SUPPORT.<br />I have had the same experience and was very guarded when I met my Lyme Dr. two years ago...but I have learned that I can trust her..she LISTENS she CARES she respects us and wants to HELP. I pray that you can find the same kind of doctor. For me the drs. who practice integrative medicine are the most helpful...take the time....respect the patients. <br />Take care..hope the pain lets up soon...<br />Gentle hugs and prayersReneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089685282700680525noreply@blogger.com
