I can't believe that you've actually sat with a doctor for more than 15 minutes. The nurse comes in, takes my Blood Pressure. Asks me questions the doctor walks in the doctor walks out. I said, don't I get to talk to her and she's gone. And I followed this woman down the hall. Excuse me, I have questions. Excuse me, excuse me, and she just kept walking like I was not right behind her until she went through 2 swinging doors that closed and locked. This is after waiting 5 months to talk to somebody, she called in like 5 prescriptions. Because you had taken blood work But she never looked at the medications. I was on and how contradictory they are with one another.
And as you've read then, the next doctor sent me for all these mrison tests never called me with the results. I got there myself that the day I took them. But I called her texted her, and messaged her 3 times a day, every single day for almost 4 months, had still never had a reply from her that it became like a running joke with myself. But see if she'll ever answer me, and then I get my bill. Well, that was it. Then, I had to wait 8 months, but I think I found somebody who is willing to really go deep with me. She spent over 3 hours having me go over the step-by-step. And all these tests she goes, look. I'm not certain these are all, but we're going to look for Everything. And I burst into tears, somebody actually listened, and then I fall and had to put every test on hold. Because I can't go into metal machines with, a metal plate in my arm the elderly really do get shafted in this country. It's such a pity and I'm willing to pay out-of-pocket. Not that I'm a rich woman, but I want answers. I can't even buy my way into an appointment. I hire you the concierge doctor she's as good as urgent care.
And I'm not sure if it's a Florida thing because I don't know where you live. But I can't imagine that you get treated like this in New York or any major metropolitan area. We're old news. Soon to be older.
And it really starts to play with your mind because it messes with the quality of life. And if you don't have a great reason to live, and you're always in pain, you think, what's the point? And then I come back strong and fight the good fight.
I really hope that they find answers for you as well. Because nothing hurts me and I'm not sick. I just have no feeling in my leg when I go to stand every now and again. And I go down hard, I guess it's this old age fat lady thing... I'm no longer a size zero with my five inch stilettos and little crop tops boo hoo.

How did you get an MRI with a metal plate in your arm?
Are you with concierge now?
