Even if you don’t sue, this doctor should be reported. I’ve had some nasty medical interactions and they are horrible to deal with when you’re (relatively) young and healthy! The fact that this was documented in so many places and he ignored them disgusts me and makes me so angry!
This paranoia about people abusing meds just annoys the heck outta me (although I also understand it, go figure). There are those out there who will abuse meds. But why assume that everyone is?
I’ve been in the hospital for 10+ surgeries. I’ve had doctors and nurses give me crap about wanting pain meds when they’ve filletted me. People in pain need meds. And they need meds that will not COMPOUND the problems they’re already having.
I so hope you get this worked out. And I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this crap.
Every morning I drive a stretch of road that has a speed limit of 35. Normally people drive closer to 50 along it. In the mornings, there is often a cop running radar and people slow down to 25 or even 20 as they pass him. What the fuck? Just drive the speed limit, you don’t have to slow down to 10 miles under the speed limit to “sneak” past the cop. Fucking morons.
Fuck. I slipped on a piece of black ice and sprained my ankle. Not enough to see a doctor. Just enough for it to throb mercilessly whenever I move it a certain way. I hate winter.
One of my friends is on a massively obnoxious self-help kick. He’s taken to spouting stupid bullshit on Facebook about something called ‘The Law of Attraction’. Apparently, according to disciples of the ‘Law of Attraction’ if you spend your days thinking happy-clappy thoughts all the time you’ll somehow miraculously get that promotion you’ve been vying for, or that car you’ve always fantasised about driving, without having to lift a finger to earn any of it. The universe will just somehow make it happen for you. This goes way beyond just simple positive thinking. Seriously, Google the ‘Law of Attraction’. It’s one of the most retarded ideas in the history of our species, and I don’t need to tell anyone here just how much competition it has for THAT title! So far, the only thing he’s managed to attract is a 95% drop in my respect. It’s really, really getting on my tits.
lobstermobster! I’ve missed you! I’m sure you don’t know me from Adam, so it probably sounds creepy as hell, but I have. Now you post approximately 2 times per year and that’s a loss.
Anyway, this is a very minute rant compared to snowpocalypses and such, but this is really bugging me right now. Almost every time I watch tv, I have been seeing this Glade commercial that tells me that “they” always say to wake up and smell the roses. Uh, no, they don’t say that! Nobody says that. They say to wake up and smell the COFFEE. They say to stop and smell the roses. They don’t say to wake up and smell the roses. Stop saying that!
Had my every-other-month doctor’s appointment today.
I’ve lost 10 pounds since my November appointment. My blood pressure is beautiful.
That’s about it.
The rest of my numbers suck and it appears dialysis is on the horizon. I should be happy - last February he was thinking I would be hooked up by summer, and I wasn’t.
I just really REALLY do not want to do dialysis.
Anyone have a kidney they want to give a Doper? I promise to use it well.
I can say from experience that the saying about attracting more flies with honey than vinegar is a damn lie. I had to make some fruit fly traps last year and the vinegar caught all of them. They didn’t care about honey.
Ditto. I have never lived in a City that handles snow removal as poorly as Winnipeg. Add in the fact that it is the car theft capital of Canada and within the top five Cities for aggravated assault I was more than happy to leave.
Every other sidewalk here is unshovelled and icy at this point - I haven’t taken a header yet, but my leg slips every so often, twisting my ankles, knees, and hips. I hate my neighbours.
My husband and I talk about what we’ll do when we win the 50 million all the time - we should be getting it any day now.
A few months ago, I was living in California and looking for a new programming job. An offer came from Massachusetts, but I didn’t take it seriously. But just for grins, I went on OKCupid to see what single women were like in Massachusetts.
To my shock, I recognized a woman I knew from high school. The one that got away! She’s not conventionally pretty and probably wouldn’t rate more than a 7 out of 10. But I think she’s perfect and I’ve always regretted not asking her out. And you know what? According to her profile, she’s still perfect!
So I accepted the job, got a lease for a Massachusetts apartment, and made the 46-hour drive. I’ve spent weeks whipping myself into shape and crafting a perfect profile for OK Cupid. I set up an appointment with a professional photographer this weekend.
But as of one hour ago, her profile is gone. GONE. This has been a waste of time, money, and effort. I’m a complete jackass.
Ok, you stupid T-Mobile FUCKS, get your shit together.
My pay-as-you-go phone was low, so I ordered a refill through the website. It didn’t go through and I didn’t get anything telling me it didn’t, or why.
So I’m calling them tonight. I get this stupid cunt who keeps asking me stupid assed questions to the point of seriously pissing me off. “What is the phone number associated with your credit card?” The one I’m recharging. “And what is that number?” (seriously, wtf is wrong with you?) I give it. “I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that” DIAF, you stupid bint. Next question: “What is the number you’re calling from?” The same number. “And what is that?”
Ok, you’re a fucking mouth breathing cunt faced baboon and you don’t have any business doing customer service.
Then of course, she asked me to repeat the number AGAIN :smack:
Then I get routed over to ‘verification’, on hold for 10 fucking minutes, where some stupid shithead ASKS ME THE SAME GODDAMNED QUESTIONS. And then when I said I was really tired of this and that the previous person had already pissed me the fuck off and he was severely trying my patience, he warned me that I had better keep the call “professional”.
Was moderately happy with this phone and plan up until this experience. Now when this runs out, I’ll look at other carriers. It should not take two days and a half hour of phone time to fucking pre-pay my fucking phone.
