Went to Dr GRRRRRRRRRRR

Ok i am not a happy camper, I go to reg Dr this morning, I ask for him to draw labs to check vit levels and other levels as well. He tells me it is to early for me to be worried about vit deficiency. Well for starters i was low on vit d , iron and potassium before surgery. So what was it gonna hurt to just humor me and run the labs.? Then he say's i am just tired because i am not getting in enough calories. Ok i'll give him that one. But then he tell's me i need to be getting in 1000 calories a day. I look at him as if he had just lost his mind. I said there is no way i can do that. He says yes you can. I say NO i can NOT. He says yes you can . Drink ensure,or boost. I say i can't. It is to high in sugar and carbs. I am trying to explain to him why i can't get in 1000 calories ,why i can't drink and eat certain things, He just motions for the nurse to come in ,tells her to call my surgeon and tell them i need more calories and see what i can have and walks out of the room. I am WAIT just a pea pickin min i am not done with you.
 I told the nurse i need my scripts refilled and i have been asking him for months to refer me to the pain clinic for my back. I can't take this pain much longer. And these pain pills ain't cutting it. She say's i'll get yur scripts for you but we will have to discuss the rest at another time.. Another time my butt . Let me mark a big X on my still big ole butt and he can smooch it.
 I think i will be finding a new dr. I want a dr who listens to me. who pays attention to what i say and how i am feeling.I am paying him for his time it isn't the other way around.
 It takes alot to really make me mad But today I walked outta there madder than an ole wet hen.
 I'll call Natalie tomorrow see what she says about the vitamines and maybe they can refer me to the pain clinic. They said if our dr's didn't do things just let them know. I dunno but it's worth a try. Ok i'm done whinning for now.

wow....and I thought I was the only one that get mad...LOL You hang in there girlfriend and dont let them push you around. I beleive thats whats wrong with the medical world now a days... they dont want to listen to you about your own body....but they sure want us to listen when they want their money!!! Good luck to ya and hang in their...dont let it ruin the rest of your day..

I think its time for a new doctor.

You are right, it is time for a new Dr. Sometimes they forget they work for us not the other way around. Just make sure your new Dr is bypass friendly.

Sounds like you got your dr from a cracker jack box, Deb.

Hi Jen
 I don't have a clue where to find another dr around here. Especially one that is weight loss friendly. Maybe there is one in Kirksville, It is only an hours drive. But i need to do something. I am still really mad about yesterday.

Debbie - you can go to the pain clinic at NRMC here in Kirksville just call and ask for an appointment.  Or maybe Natalie can refer you.  Support group tommow night at the Fitness center at 5:30pm.
