Being strung along by dr

Posted by tjjordan1 @tjjordan1, Aug 31 3:33am

I have a Dr who I've seen and he ordered about 15 tests. I have chronic spine, neck and back pain. The last test was over a month ago. No response whatsoever. When I contacted them, they said be patient. I've been patient over the past 6 months enduring all these tests. Last time I spoke with the Dr., I thought he was going to help. He's NOT experiencing the pain, so be patience, seems incredibly uncaring. Give me a appt., tell me move on, something. I'm just wondering how long do I endure being patient. I just want the test result, or do I HAVE to move on ??

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Chronic Pain Support Group.

In reply to @jimhd "I have googled things on my test results that I didn't understand." + (show)

I did that too. Also talked to my PT who has a doctorate and owns his clinic. He couldn't figure it out it either because of very unusual unclear terms that were used.. tks

TJ, what were you tested "FOR"? It's unclear for which results you were waiting. Does your lab or radiology facility have a patient portal where you can download your own results? Sounds like you are being strung along, doctor can't help you, etc. Please use your precious energy to find another doctor. Best regards, Lin
