How sad. But you gave me hope!!!! A I Currently we have AUI ! Unintelligent!

Plus guess we should form a club, got kicked out by doc. Me too!!!!! Saw 6 cardio’s. All in my head. But I found a new one before their letter came. Love him, caring. First things out of his mouth was, do you know how many patients I have that are on pain medication’s and also have cardiac problems? It’s not your pain meds. It’s your pain that’s causing your heart problems. I almost broke down in tears. Need to start a club. Yes I wrote a letter to the Director of the hospital pertaining to an electro cardiologist, who I waited eight months to see, who spent four minutes with me, and said my problems were due to my narcotic addiction! I take 7 mg a day that’s it. He walked out and I wrote the letter and all hell broke loose. Now even my PCP is handling me with kid gloves.
Received a letter one of 4 discussing my situation and what he wrote on my record. So if anywhere I go, now pegged as a junky. Had a atty send a letter of intent. Boy that went through the community! Handled with kid gloves, still no answers to my condition, been 6 years of strange symptoms. Only been on med 2 years due to a botched knee replacement!!! But I am not stopping. Do no harm, part of their ethics….it will be do no harm in the end. From Chicago, we don’t take things lightly! We all must stand up especially when we are not abusing!!!!

Don't stop or give up on what you are doing and the way you are doing it. Unfortunately we have to take it to the point of writing letters, posting Dr. information on blogs and hiring attorneys. There has to be a bigger, stronger voice and it has to come from us otherwise it will never change.
If everyone here that has posted in this thread alone would unify and continue this type of response we might get somewhere or at least be heard.
Good Luck to you.
