HEY ALL!! but doctor what about your patient??

    "    Won't you give me the low down, just as quick as you can, baby I've been out of touch, just give me the scam, don't give me the sports page baby, no political news, don't give me the gossip, just give me the truth, between me and you    "    Well went and saw my Orthopedic Neurological doctor on Thursday. He is the one who originally diagnosed me with Spinal Stenosis. He had filled out some paper work and indicated that I had been released to return to work. However, we never discussed me going back to work. Well he came in and just blasted me!! Said he was not the kind of doctor that just filled out insurance papers so I could continue to draw disability money. Just a real snotty tone and attitude. I told him that was NOT my purpose, he had indicated that I was released for work and WE never had discussed that. " Well I filled out the paperwork as I saw fit, if you disagree with me than you can find another doctor." WHAT?? WOW!! He said he tried to get patients better and since I did not want to have surgery ( at HIS recommendation ) that I did not want to get better?? And I should seek out a doctor who specializes in occupational medicine and let him decide weather I can return to work or not. WOW, filling out the insurance paperwork and NOT even talking to your patient. Well Fine, I am DONE with him too. In all the years of seeing doctors, he is BY FAR the rudest most unprofessional one I have EVER met. So another task for me, find an occupational doctor and see what he says. The funny part the paperwork was for Prudential Insurance AND NOT for my SSDI!! Well onto other, better stuff. Did manage to enroll in Medicare Advantage Plan today. I become eligible in April!! COOL! Hopefully that will save some MONEY!! My total bill for the bleeding ulsar is over $22,000 to date. I have been up and about A LOT this week. I have been doing something everyday since last Sunday. Today is the first day I can just chill at home. And I am TIRED! I can tell my body needs a rest day. I have extra pain when I even move, and the doctor thinks I can go to work 5 days a week!?!? What ever!! Got my first fantasy baseball league started this week too. The draft was held. So cool to be so close to getting baseball back in action again!! CHOW MOI!!
