I'm sorry this is long.

So my back has been bothering me. I called my Dr.s office to see if he could call in some pain meds. The secretary called back and said that I needed to make an appointment- this was a week ago.
Turned out I never made it in. So I called again on Wednesday and asked if he could just call in like 10 and I'd come see him next week.
Secretary called me back and again said you'd have to come in . I said calmly- " Did you ask him if he could just call in a few?" and she said No, Dr. G. is not that kind of Dr. He won' t just call in 6 if its any type of narcotic. "I replied, well I've been going to him for 15 years and he knows I have chronic pain" (meaning that's why I asked him to just call in a few)- I didn't say that, but that's what I meant and he has done it in the past, just not recently.
She said " He will call you in a muscle relaxant or an anti-inflammatory, so I said muscle relaxant.

A little while after the Dr. called (I missed the call) and left a voicemail- saying that he was told I was upset and in fact I used "choice language" to his front office staff.

I swear I wasn't upset and DID NOT lose my temper. I wasn't even snotty- I knew what the answer might be but thought I'd try anyway.
So anyways, he went on to say he will never call those type meds in EVER and told me I have to stop asking, If you need something stronger you have to make an appointment. Sorry you have to pay a co-pay thats just the way it is. You need to control your temper, its perfectly fine by me if you want to find another dr., I called in the Flexeril, GOODBYE slam.

Now, I really like this Dr. he has always been patient with me and sweet and has gone out of his way to help me but this message shocked me . The office staff lied or he just said that to get rid of me..? I was so upset, I called the office back sayin I needed to talk to him about the message he left and mid-sentence I started crying. When I got of the phone, I was balling my eyes out for a 1/2 an hour. I felt so hurt and rejected. It was awful.
He never called back again.

Now I don't know whether to call and make an appointment and explain my side of the story or find a new DR.

Help. Please.
