I don’t care where the problem is healthcare needs to get fixed. Every dr I’ve seen ER Urgent Care say why are you here. My doctor sent me cause it’s after business hours and they don’t work past 5. All the emergency people have asked why I came there the can’t help me without even looking at me. Heroes my xxxx. Sorry. Just got back from ER again. My hands are locked up with razor blades cutting into every tip of finger and thumb. I’m on fire internally but temp is normal. No help. Can barely walk can’t turn handles or open frig or bottles. My heart is starting to skip beats. I will die in bed and the sad thing is no one will be coached on patient care or advocacy.
Oh @peach414144 That diagnosis is so difficult to hear. My mother got a diagnosis of a tumor just outside her bladder when she was 95. She felt that she wouldn’t be able to tolerate the chemotherapy so went with daily radiation. We just celebrated her 98th birthday!
What made the doctors suddenly listen to you? Have they proposed a treatment plan?
