Had a good conversation with my diabetes doctor.<\/p>\n
She asked about the weight loss drug and I told her I'd had really bad side effects and she asked what we were trying next. Told her I had fired that doctor. I'm even thinking about quitting the weight loss group, though I like a couple of the people and the building it is in.<\/p>\n
Here's some of the reasons why.<\/p>\n
Every time I make an appointment with them, I put the appointment in my calendar like every other appointment. They come back and tell me , it's a different time and date. Most of the time they come back and say — oh, you are right.<\/p>\n
This time the nutritionist was fully booked (I think my appointment is part of his fully booked).<\/p>\n
Really?<\/p>\n
I am told I'm due for a tetanus shot. I say, well, I have to think about it. Research it while I wait for the doctor, decide I want one. They don't give it even though I tell them I wanted it. Good news, I did it at my primary care who I really like. When I try to check on it when its time to leave, the assistant is on the phone and I have to wait forever.<\/p>\n
I tell the doctor, I have horrible side effects from a drug. She says indignantly, I've never had a patient tell me that before. Okay, I'm the first, get over it.<\/p>\n
I have my orthopedist office on hold right now, because they are treating the body parts not the individual, but they are the first place I go when I want surgery. I don't.<\/p>\n
