Lumbar Pain Pump needed. Any Doctors for 65+?
The last of the baby-boomers are finding out that health ins. advantage plans with social security can’t get a doctor…It doesn’t pay! This my 3rd call to specialists related to my hospital can’t get pass the scheduling nurse as I listened again to a hot mic phone call where the nurse ask the phone desk operator “Is that his file on screen” Yes she said. “Oh No, his case doesn’t pay, tell him we are busy!” Then I hear those famous words “All 4 of our neurologist are busy with their patients! Sorry”. Well, knock me down with a feather. 20+ yr old Combat Vets returning from WW-II come home in 46-47, start a family 10 yrs later and children born in 57-58+ are reaching critical mass and Dr’s don’t like it. Workers comp pays better I have been told, so unless you’re ready to pay $3k-$5k out of pocket, you’re not get services. I have exhausted everything else, many fusions, RFA, Epidurals I lost count, S-I injections, SCS that after 3rd time the Dr. gave up. 20hrs of Ketamine IV drip is expensive & not fun also not fruitful. The Opioid debacle messed everything up, now buprenorphine/Subloxone is 2 per day while teeth crack off. Wow, having fun now! Forget the class action as you had to be on this stuff 2 years. Why? Some people sunburn & get freckles and others don’t. We are all different and had this since Jan 2024. Never had a cavity my life and now this? Sad world!
