Wink Found A New Doc!!!!!!

I got to the point,were i didn't care anymore,but,i gave it one more shot,and my new doc. is wonderful! My first visit was yesterday,and she spent an hr. with me! She asked about my other doc.,and i gave her a few examples why i didn't like her at all.I was on 40 mg o.c 2x aday,plus 15 mg.oxycodone,and the doc. cut me down to 10 mg. 2x a day. One night,i was in so much pain,i went to the e.r,so the nurse asked who my primary doc. was,and when i told her,she said,your doc. is here tonight[7pm] so my doc came in and said" How come you didn't come to the office,dah! Its 7pm,you close at 430! Then,rudely,she said,"you come and see me tomarrow! And walked out of the room! So i go to her office in the morning,she wouldn't even see me! She sent the nurse out with a perscription for lortab 5s Another time,i called her office with real bad pain in my stomache area,that day she never called back,so after the ambulance brought me to the hospital,i found out it was a kindney stone,well,3 days later,she decides to call!!!! I could tell you's more,but i won't. Well,the new doc. put me on oxy. 20 mg 3xa day,and kept me on my neurotin,and put me on klonipin .I had to call her today,because comp. wouldn't fill it,she called me right back,and said she talked to the claims adjuster,and said,he is not in good shape[back wise]comp was saying klonipin,and nuerotin are basicly the same,but she took care of it,and jokingly i told her,i'm not used to the doctor calling me back! Especially in 10 min.!You's all told me not to give up.

Re: Found A New Doc!!!!!!

Wow, and this is a comp doc. Acknowledging your pain is almost like admitting there is a reason your on WC.
That is very cool you have someone listening.

As far as kidney stones, as painful as they are, they really aren't comp related and that's probably why the other doc acted the way they did. Not to make excuses for lowsy treatment, and not bothering to expalin it, but even my PM doc wouldn't expext to see me for a kidney stone. That's covered in the contract and on the back of every script. Not to use your CP meds for injuries, surgery or dental procedures, Kidney stones would be the same scenario and a urologist would be allowed to prescribe pain meds without me getting in trouble. A completely different problem that my PM doc doesn't want me burning through BT meds to deal with. Makes sense.
I''m glad you have a new doc and hopefully one that will hang in there with ya.
Take care, Dave
