(my favorite of the smileys-- H, thinks their gross)
another one of my favorites, I don't use very often
Had a doc visit today about the seroquel and told him about
how the med could raise hepatic panel, he asked me how long
I have been off of the effexor (antidepressant) I said 204
days (only because thats what I wrote in last diary) I think
it is more like 206 days."
He started laughing, how do you know this?" I told
him that I have been keeping a diary since I was diagnosed
tith HCV ---- bloodwork, herbal supplements, meds that I
take or have quit, how I feel, my work schedule, I have
it divided into chapters, and topics, and everything is
dated, included are letters from you, the day I fax my info,
everything! I have filled up this notebook and moved everything
into a bigger one.
He still kinda chuckled. I went on to talk about the seroquel,
raises hepatic panel, which should be a concern to him,
and the eye twitches and shakey hands, parkinson like symptoms,dizziness
if I move too fast, etc. I did try to talk about the central
nervous system and how medication can imitate certain symptoms
like parkinsons, he says: where are you getting all this
stuff?
I reminded him of my notebook, your site and the internet
---- oh by the way, I already have another notebook filled
on natural healing, things I copied from your site and others
------ I give copies to my friends and acquaintances.
Anyway, doc keeps changing subject which I expect him to.
I don't budge. He is trying to get rid of me. I showed him
the little bloodblisters and told him that the petechaie
is getting smaller and some of it has gone away --- he asked,
how do I know about that?
He won't have a decent conversation with me. I am educating
myself about this and it pisses him off because he doesn't
get kickbacks from the drugs he wants to prescribe to me
----------------- I FEEL GOOD TODAY ------------ doc is
a weasy little jerkoff. $95.00 for an office visit -------
10.00 from me and the other 85.00 from ins co. He gets 95.00
for 10-15 minutes of my time and I got weighed and sat in
a chair in his office. 95 dollars divided by 15 minutes
is 6.3 dollars a minute, now, it could be possible I was
in there only 10 minutes, in which case he made 9.5 dollars
a minute.
Pretty good money for someone who don't shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and I still didn't get any info or help --- I am cutting
down on my own, which is what I had to do with the other
drug.
D.
You are a wonderful person.
I suggest that you forget trying to get any help from doctors.
They really do not give a shit about you, just selling you
drugs.
This is not the world our parents grew up in where doctors
were people who cared about us. When I was little, people
always said, become a doctor and make lots of money. I think
that most of the doctors around today were moved into wanting
to be a doctor because of the promise of money, not because
they wanted to help any one.
I wish I was wrong, I am not.
