Letter From My Doctor
Today I received a letter from my pain management doctor telling me that he isn't going to treat me anymore because I got medication from my orthopedist after my surgery. They say it some how breaks the agreement I made with them in the beginning of my service, a year ago. There is really nothing I can do about it right now and I am going to have to wait until I get my surgery done to get pain medication again but I feel very depressed by the letter because it automatically assumes that I am a drug addict by literally saying that, then listing addiction counselors at the end of the letter.
I wrote my own letter back and CC: all of my other doctors that the letter went out to, still some how I don't feel any better about the whole thing. I still feel like my doctors are going to look at me and wonder what I am on or if I was shooting up today or something like that.
What do I do in a situation like this? I want to cry and i want to yell at the doctor for doing this. because I got medication for a surgery? This makes no sense and they say I did it 3 times and I didn't, how am I suppose to change their minds?
Now I have to find another Pain Management Doc and the closest one is in the city. I hate going in to the city.I am hoping this will get straightened out soon and I can go back to my doctor. It is right up the street from me and I hate to drive. I know that isn't true, I would never go back there for anything, not after the way the letter was written, maybe sometime soon I will type it out for all of you to read, as for today I am done and I have to lay down and eat the lobster my hubby got me to make me feel better. Isn't he sweet?
