Hi Natalie,
I am sorry that your doctors cannot help you. Unfortunately that is my
situation also,
EXCEPT for the blood pressure medication. And it took me about 3 years
to get
the proper combination of BP meds, Vasotec and Metoprolol, to regulate my
BP.
I happened to like this doctor until now. I also understand that they
are obligated
to see patients periodically. But did he have to cut off my medication
completely
to strong-arm me into making an appointment? All they had to do was
call me and
tell me he has to see me. I will make an appointment, and use an
ambulance to
get there probably. My Mother's doctor calls her when he wants to see
her, and if
she tells them she feels fine, they accept it. They don't just cut off
her prescriptions.
This is criminal and unconscionable, and I will probably fire this
doctor after
I get my medications.
Take care,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
You need to do what I am going to do - stop going to the doctors
unless I am dying. And, then, I guess I will not need them. I do not
think they can help some of us. Just the way it is. So, I will go only
when there is no other option. I will go for thyroid blood test,
perhaps a mammogram and if I get so sick I think even a doctor could
not do more harm. These are the only reasons.
You need to go to someone and get your blood pressure meds though. Or,
maybe they goofed there too and you really do not need them. The
doctors almost erroneously put me on them. Thinking about doctors and
tests and apptments is bad for ones health. Unless of course the
doctors can help. In my case, they evidently cannot.

Sandy,
I wonder if my doctor would be legally liable if I get sick because I
couldn't come
in and he refused to refill my blood pressure medication?
I think the doctors got together and figured out a way to milk out
some moe
of our insurance money.
In case there's any doubt, I don't trust the medical
profession. For those
who are happy with their doctors, you are very lucky.
Kevin
