Anyway here is what she wrote in her blog.
Sunday, I woke up @10 a.m., and by noon, I was out of the house, and at the clinic to get my RX. I had to see the doctor b/c last time he didn't give me any refills on my thyroid medicine. Anyhow, I told him how I've been feeling, and what I needed (allergy medicine, thyroid, diabetes, asthma, my herniated disc, and a mental health screening). I got the diabetes & thyroid, but none of the other things. They don't have allergy or asthma medicine (at least one I'm not allergic to [albuterol]). For the mental health screening, he said he'd refer me to the place I've already called & been refused health care due to the fact I cannot pay. I told him about my back. He asked a stupid question, "How do you know? How were you diagnosed?" I said I had an MRI in April, and I guess he didn't believe I'm hurt, because he pulled on my legs!
Not too long afterward, when I arrived home, I had to go to the hospital, where I WAS NOT TREATED! R took me up there after I put a pot roast on (2 lb--didn't take but an hour or so to cook).
I was screaming bloody murder when I had to get in the back seat to lay down. I was in serious pain!
So we get there, get checked in, and I was put on fast track so I wouldn't have to wait. I rated my pain a 7 or 8 out of 10.
Dr. blank blank said he doesn't treat chronic pain, that I need to see my physician for that care. I told him before he even said that, and afterward, that they will not see me and I do not have the money to pay. I cried many times while waiting on them to take my personal information, and after the doctor left the room. I was angry then, and I'm angry now. I'm sick of people treating me like I'm a piece of crap, or like I'm lying!! It doesn't make any sense. The nurse came back in and said they couldn't treat me, unless I'm bleeding. I told R in the car, while we were driving home, to give me a knife. We'll see if they'll treat me then!!!
We're supposed to see my mom for the 4 of July. If we go, I'm going to the hospital there if I'm hurting as bad as I was. I know they'll do SOMETHING other than giving me TYLENOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which reminds me, that prick asked me "Have you taken any tylenol, aleve?" I said "No, they do not help. I took those before seeing my doctor when I was in pain." (I seen my doctor before, when my mom had the $$ to pay--she doesn't have a job, so no $$).
