Thanks so much Ozzy!
It actually went really well, I said everything I wanted to say, he apologized, and he put me back on full meds with an appointment in a month,
He said he went through my records and has 0 problem with me taking narcotics. I put a more detailed update on my other thread, if anyone wants to know more.
Thank you all so much, I could not have done it without you, Before I had this board and you all to support me, there is no way I would have confronted him about his behavior towards me today, I would have been too scared.
I think a lot of people, particularly ones that are new to pain managenment, think we tend to over-react about complaince, I think my situation is a cautionary tale about why we do that and what can happen so easily, they dont owe you pain meds, and they cant throw you into withdrawal at the drop of a hat if they think you arent being careful.
I think it should be done with respect and not by yelling or listening to your patient, but it could happen to any of us. Hopefully next time this doctor has this happen, he will at least look at the persons chart before picking up the phone.
Thanks again!!
