I have a friend that got treated like a druggie by a doctor when he had a problem with his intestines. He has marks from when he was an infant and the dear old doc took them to be track marks.<br />Switch doctors. Not easy to find good ones to take time but they are still out there.<br />I've been through the orthodontics with Kiddo. She is now in retainers. Thank God. I could have sent her through 2 years at a community college for what I paid. But, her teeth aren't all fucked up anymore. What I don't get is the kids I have seen go in there and their teeth aren't bad and they want braces.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051904118383493849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414435776825765041.post-43732378850834905072014-03-04T09:47:48.459-06:002014-03-04T09:47:48.459-06:00I cracked a rib my first month in Honduras - not f...I cracked a rib my first month in Honduras - not fun. Although it took a while to heal, the horrific pain went away after a few days. I didn't take pain killers for very long, maybe a few days. Hopefully your pain will pass relatively quickly!<br /><br />And I would TOTALLY switch doctors. I switched doctors every year until I found one that I like. I don't love her, but she's not rude so I keep going. I don't think it's a big deal to switch. I would have to wait a year though because my insurance only paid for one physical a year and that was the best way to get in with a new doctor - was to have a physical. Good luck! I just took Ivan to the eye doctor and he needs cataract surgery.

Because that shitty behavior needs to be reported. I'd also demand some decent pain killers. That is just fucked up denying help to someone on a maybe. If you had a history of showing up with random pain that would be something, but once???<br /><br />If you want to look for a new doc now is actually both a good & a bad time. Good because with Obamacare policies taking effect lots of people are changing docs because their current one doesn't take the new insurance. So you are less likely to look like a pill popper. But it's bad because lots of people are changing docs so getting an appointment can be a PITA. At least that's the story around here where nearly half the local docs won't take the ADA marketplace policies. <br /><br />Hope you are feeling betterComfyMom~Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15645425225886356909noreply@blogger.com
