Has anyone actually asked him...

...if this is what he wants?

Earlier in the year I had mentioned that I suffer from repeated fights with kidney stones.  So it was little surprise when a couple weeks ago I was doubled over in pain from yet another one attempting to pass.  So I called up the doctor, he wrote me a prescription for the pain, and I went on my merry a couple days later, for a CT scan of my abdomen.  Few more days and a couple bouts of phone tag later and "I'm very sorry sir, but it seems that we need to insert a stent to remove the stone..."

I've already had 2.  I'm not doing this again.  And despite that I've never even verbally assented to the procedure, it has been scheduled for Thursday morning.  I'm getting harassed by insurance companies and medical facilities left and right, asking for my contact info and giving me instructions but...

HAS ANYONE EVEN ASKED ME ONCE IF I WANT TO DO THIS AGAIN?!?! HELL NO!

I feel like this is literally a dead line.  I've been furiously trying to set up an appointment for a second opinion at a different doctor because frankly this guy doesn't seem to give a single shit about me aside from "here's who you make the check out to"

I'm pissed, I'm bothered, and this really isn't the shit I need right now considering I started nursing school YESTERDAY.

  1. Nice blog.
    I'm sorry to hear about that. I think you're right to get a second opinion from another doctor. I hate doctors who don't care about their patients, rather just the $$.
    Hope everything works out. =/
