Hi all,
Thanks for your comments and suggestions. I appreciate the support here. I went for a second opinion and got the same treatment. “You’ll be fine”. Tried advocating for myself. Even put my notes and concerns on paper so things didn’t get lost in translation. My notes were this;
-Leading up to hospitalization large painful swollen lymph in groin
-trouble peeing
- up 3x in the night
- low volume
-chest pain
-lump in side under ribs
-bloody stools off and on
-significant bleed +60 days ago
-pencil thin stools
-seems like my body was fighting some type of infection
-white marks in fingernails
-extremely high c reactive protein from hospital labs
-cloudy urine occasionally
-rash between inner thigh
-still painful joints and swelling in infected foot after antibiotics

Response:
“I think you’ll do fine, anything else going on after your hospitalization”?

I came to be aware that my payer only pays about one third of the bill and I believe this is why I continue to experience this sub standard care. What a disgrace…

A lazy doctor is not worth the visit. I have had many, and I am now not at all reticent about finding someone who will actually work. There are a few, even some at Mayo. oldkarl
