@edarling84 I just hate to hear about the run-around that you’re getting! It is so unfair and makes for poor medical practice. Have you spoken to someone at your HMO to explain your situation? You might also ask if they would cover you if you went to a university hospital or comprehensive medical center. The doctors there are used to seeing patients with multiple symptoms and/or problems.
Can you think of a good reason why you wouldn’t “create a stink” about this doctor and his non-professional treatment of you? Maybe start with the Practice Manager or lead physician for the practice. It’s a scary thought but, at this point, what have you got to lose? We’re all behind you giving you our support!
