...I went to the Dr here for the first time today as i have really been having bad intestinal problems and i think its either colon (Diverticulitis), Gallbladder, or a parasite. When you go for the first time you fill out all the paper work so they know what all your conditions are, and i did. before he even came in the room he took my chart and was talking to some one out side the room for about 5 min about my mental health issues. when he came in the room all he would keep asking me is do you do drugs, do you drink (I have hep C got it in 03 and we dont know how)do you want to commit suicides. we don't treat that kind of stuff here. He kept asking this over and over the whole time he was in the room with me and i was trying to tell him about my health issues. Sever Pain, Diarrhea, food not digesting distended stomach upper and lower, liver tenderness, bad pain under the left rib cage feels like I've been kick in the gut there and it feels like my insides are being twisted at night when I try to sleep. This has al been going on for over 3 months and just getting worse and worse.

He didn't care about any of it... he just said it was probably the flu bug and he would just give me Imodium and that was it. He was trying to tell me that it was probably caused by depression, anxiety (basicly in my head)... so on and so on... he would not listen until i insisted it was more then that cause i know my body. and he finally said he would order a stool culture. but he again and again asked me if I wanted to kill my self or hurt anyone else, or was i doing any street drug even after he said he would order the labs...

I try so hard not to get angry at things like this, but this was total discrimination in the worst kind because of my mental health background.

I told my mom and she just said oh you know he probably just had a bad day or a lot of bad patients... IT SHOULDN"T MATTER... he is a professional Dr. and that was 100% discrimination.
why would i even want to go back for a followup?
If I die I told my husband that he will know what to do.

Trauma brings so much anger and going through watching my mother in law die last april and her stomach distending like it did and not being able to help her and watching her die form galbladder cancer, It just filled me with so much anger because this Dr would not listen. THIS IS NOT IN MY HEAD. Iv'e had intestinal issues befor and know what they are.

I will go tomarrow for the lab work, but i will not go back to him. If the results come back bad then i will find someone else and find a way to pay them *(which we don't have any money even for this Dr and he is in a low income clinic). After paying bills today we had 400.00 left, [we bought grocerice (food and all the nessesitys for the month, cat and dog stuff plus household) for the month $200.00. Gas for the car and prescriptions form last week $80.00( and we will need gas for Apts), Dr apt and lab work $80.00, that leaves us a whopping $10.00 for the whole month of DEC. dont get me wrong on the money thing as God has provided every penny and keeps providing all our needs! We still however have a week of November left. plus we will need to get Rx's and gas to get to my moms later in the month month for Christmas. I know God will provide as he always does, it just is infuriating to see a Dr. and be treated like that and then you feel like what a waist of money. Ive been putting this off for 3 months so my husbandcould get the medical help he needed for his emphizema.
Do I feel suicidal? I DO NOW!

Please pray.
