Love is in the air:D:D:D

I hope it's not a big deal, and you feel better, Gina.

I've had a pain in my shoulder for about a year now. My chiro can't figure it out, and I don't want to go to an orthopedist.

How you feeling Gina?

Gina 11-15-2009 09:06 AM

Aww I love you all girls xoxoxo

Sorry I didn't post since I went to the dr. on Friday. Just between this sinsus infection and my arm I haven't been around here much.

Welllllllllll I went on Friday to this ortho that I got from my husbands health plan and let me tell you. I didnt care for him or the office and here are my reasons why. I am going to vent, actually this should be another thread.

For starters I was feeling lousy on Friday and I was going to cancel, but the office never returned my call so I figured let me go. I finally got the call after I left and the receptionist appoligized. DUH!

Well I was in office they put me in an examing room and told me to take my top off and put the paper gown on and she left me there. WELL I was sitting there waiting for the dr. like 20 minutes and it was freaking cold I had to put my coat on and there was no one to complain to. So I shivered for maybe 25 min until the Dr. came in. I complained to him and he said yes your right.. hardly listened to me and said you need to take an exray and left.. Talk about bedside mannners.

I was pissed now and I called the tech and told her I am not sitting in this room its freezing and she moved me to another while I had to wait for the ex ray tech to call me. That room was a trifle better not MUCH. My luck the exray machine was not working right so I had to wait . UGHHH

Anyway took the exray and the results came out I have bursitis and tendonits and have to go to phycial therapy twice a week. So now I have to find a place..

The motto of this story is most drs. today are so cold and stay about 5 minutes and dont give a crap, I was so annoyed and feel this country is going to pot.. No one cares, I came home and my daughter was home from school and I said to her when you become a dr. YOU Better listen to your patients... lol

Thanks for letting me vent!!!

Awww Gina! Your dr visit sounds horrible:eek: You are so right about uncaring drs! Seems like they are almost all like that now! I think one of the problems is that they schedule WAY too many patients for the same appt time!! Then everyone has to wait forever! It's ridiculous! I sure hope you find a good place for your pt and have a caring therapist.

Blueyes 11-17-2009 05:29 PM

I'm sorry you had such a bad experience! Does he think the physical therapy will help? I sure hope you feel better soon!

gja1000 11-17-2009 08:23 PM

I completely agree re: uncaring docs. Part of the issue is IMHO, docs are tryingto make boucoups money like they used to. But to do that with today's reimbursement (docs are now paid on a schedule rather than being able to charge whatever they want as itwas in the past) they have to schedule too many patients. And when they try to see too many pts. they are tired and uncaring.

Lindsey 11-18-2009 06:37 AM

I'm so sorry you had such a bad experience with the doctor! I've never had a problem like that with any doctor or specialist I've seen. With that little time spent with the patient I think I would question how thorough the diagnosis is too. I hope the physical therapy helps!

Janet 11-18-2009 07:15 AM

Gina...I'm sorry your experience was bad. No one likes going to see a Dr. in the first place and then be treated like a number sucks. When I took Mom to her kidney Dr. on Monday, the techs were wonderful, but he wasn't even in there 3 minutes. I just don't understand. I have a feeling it's going to get much much worse.

judy 11-18-2009 09:42 AM

That's awful Gina! I have to agree with Lindsey about his diagnosis. I would try to get my x-rays and get another opinion. PT is very time consuming, and even the co-payments add up if you are covered for it.

I am sorry that you had to put up with that kind of treatment!

Gina 11-18-2009 05:39 PM

Thank you ladies.. I didn't get a second opinion because I figure the ex ray doesn't lie. I looked up on my husbands plan and I found several PT in my area. I have to pay a co payment of $15.00 when I go which is not bad. I pay that amount for all my visits. I can't exceed 20-25 visits. Hopefully I don't need that many. I will call tomorrow and set up my first appointment. I will let you know how it goes.
