I am switching doctors AGAIN.

He went off on the whole waiting room today because he heard us complaining about the wait.

For the past 2 months, he has been so swamped and so overbooked that he has been unable to even doctor us properly. I think his practice experienced an explosive influx this winter (everyone likes him) but the thing is, if he cannot manage that without lashing out on us, he is going to lose some ppl---unless they enjoy being treated like cr*p.

I still have terrible sinus issues.

He won't even call in a Flonase prescription; he's too busy and emotionally dysregulated to even do THAT!

and my nose is on fire.

I am going to walk in tomorrow to an urgent care place. I hope they can help. My sinus is causing my dental pain. Dentist said teeth looked fine.

I have been experiencing a RASH of provider abuse.

I know it's a matter of looking for the right one.

Not just a nice guy---but someone who can act PROFESSIONAL or at least take some accountability on how business changes can affect him and his patients! He is dealing with living human beings and living tissue---not just being some bookkeeper!

I will not tolerate a provider who is abusive.

He embarrassed me in front of a whole waiting room!

And he is not ADA compliant---a paramedic could not even fit a stretcher thru the door! Or a wheelchair, either.

Hi billi. have you tried standardly using the nasal rinse you find in the grocery stores.
They help me a lot with my sinuses. The warm water and the salt based mix added to a squeeze bottle or the Neti-pot (sp?)

Sorry to hear your Drs. are so overbooked and testy. I would not care for that behavior either. Hugs, bj

I will keep doing the saline and the Reiki/acupressure (Reiki is energy channelling; not necessarily religious).

thanks,

I am so sorry to hear you had this experience and also that are not feeling well. It is really important to find someone you feel comfortable with and you feel will help (not getting you basic scripts is not a help). It can be hard to find the right one but worth it in the end. Do what you need to to take care of you and your health, and physician that helps you to do that. Advocate for you and I hope you feel better soon. Best of luck!

That sounds just awful. I'm so sorry that happened to you. I'm glad you are standing up for yourself and getting a new doctor. If he has a supervisor I would complain to that person. No matter how stressed out he is, it is not okay for him to take it out on his patients.

He has no supervisor.

He's a "director"---what an abuse of power!

I don't know if I can at least bust him on that ADA compliant thing.

Sorry, Billi. I have sinus infection too, but a better GP . Praying that you feel better soon and find a decent DR. Hugs if thats ok.

I woke up this morning feeling so angry at him again.

I think it's so outrageous that I am so sick and don't have any care until the 22nd. That's when I see the new person.

I may walk in to an urgent care place, but there's no guarantee they'll refill my flonase. I can't find any proof of prescription; just the bottle without my name and information.

My tooth bothered me again too, probably because of the sinus. I had it restored, but it still hurts; I still need Motrin.

Flonase is a rather benign prescription (ie it's not a narcotic or drug that gets abused). If you go into a walk in clinic and tell them you are having pain in your sinuses and have used flonase in the past for similar problems they will probably prescribe it for you. You may be able to get proof from your pharmacy that you have had it prescribed to you. (I don't know if you can but you could check). I hope you get what you need.

I am afraid that the walk in will not consider Flonase to be "urgent care". But I really really need it. I can get proof from the pharmacy, but that may take days. And I need it a day at least.

thanks, I will consider this, but I am not holding my breath.

an update: I saw the GP (new one) and he gave me an allergy shot.I might yet get better.B.

[mommyof2girls]

I think getting a new doctor would be in order....

[BrokenNBeautiful]

in my last post, I saw the new doctor. He gave me that shot.

I hope he's for real and that it will help.

thanks,

Billi
