Folks, don't use OT (off topic) for this subject as it is a legitimate subject for us TM'ers.

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.

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.

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
