Heh. I went to my regular MD back in May, and when the nurse was asking the usual questions:

"Are you in pain?"
"Yes"
"On a scale of 1-10, how is your pain?"
"8"
"Where is your pain?"
"Everywhere."

Thus, she gave me a handout for Depression/GAD for me to fill out.

WTF?

Can you not read my chart? It says that I'm BIPOLAR. I mean, dam, look at the list of drugs I have to take everyday to be stable.

Then to top it all off, the MD never even asked me about my pain, b/c you know, us crazy people, don't have any pain....it is all in out heads.

It just makes me sooooooooooooooooooooooooo angry, that when we ask for help, that's not related to our mental state, they won't give us the proper care.

Seriously though, I have a mass on my kidney, that was found in APRIL. I went to the freaking ED b/c I was in so much pain and I thought I had kidney stones. But since I told them I thought I had kidney stones, that was all they looked for. You would think, if a mysterious mass was found near the kidney, they might actually want to run some other tests to see what it is. But no, they told me to go to my MD, so he could send me for a CT w/contrast. Could they not have done that on the same day that I WAS ALREADY IN THE HOSPITAL? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Luckily, I found a doctor who would work with me, and they're taking it out on the 16th. It just pisses me off so much, that I knew there was something wrong with me, but nobody would listen.
