@mfratt Have you explained, to the doctor, that it’s very painful to sit and that you prefer to stand? I’m sure she would be understanding!

Yes. The physician assistant even said to sit. Like I was a dog. It’s a he. He doesn’t help me but he sure likes the referrals. I do all the finding for other doctors. I tell them where I’m going and then they send the referral form. I asked for help getting a wheelchair but he said I didn’t need one. I asked him for a test to check abdominal adhesions and he said, they won’t do that unless you throw up green. Insurance company is going to help me find a new doctor. I’m very frustrated. The other doc is fine but this doc is the one that controls everything.

I recently went through a thyroid storm. My endocrinologist is no help. The ER checked my thyroid levels twice. First time tsh was way off and that Er doc said don’t take your Synthroid till you talk to your endocrinologist. I finally read her reviews and they were in line with how I felt.

Right now I fill lost and going to have a nervous breakdown. I wish I had my old endo back. He was my pcp also. I’ve always got along with all my docs in the past.

I go in with a list of concerns. That fifteen min is crucial. My old doc would have 6 people waiting but it was worth it cause he took every concern carefully. I should never have moved out of that area.

That’s it....
