Waste of Time

                        I went to a new Dr. yesterday and I thought I would do the normal new patient work up. It was a referral to this Dr. and so I was really expecting more to happen. The Dr. walks in and of course the office is abuzz because I have Duchess with me. So the asks me two or three questions and says I look fine. The Dr. did not examine me or even go over any of my symptoms that I was having. I was told that I needed to continue what I have been doing for 10 years and it should be fine. I find it funny how the minute I arrive they want money but yet the Dr. did nothing and had determined before he even say me that everything was fine. He did not order further blood tests or anything else. I did ask him if he was going to order more blood work and he said if I wanted too he would run more. Then we went into a discussion about what Duchess does for me and her alerts and such. We spent more time discussing Duchess than we did discussing my issues. Then the Dr. says that he might want to see me back. I know I was pretty angry because I paid my copy and did not even discuss what my issues have been.

                       Then the Dr. decides before I walk out the door that he needs blood work and should schedule an appointment to see him again. I have decided to not see this Dr. again for obvious reasons. The Dr. also said the previous Dr who diagnosed me was wrong possibly but the interesting thing about that is I saw that Dr. actually doing blood work and did a very through exam. I have a feeling that the other Dr. was not wrong in fact was a very well know Dr in his field so I am betting the new one is wrong.  I am not a fan of you look fine and so I am not going to do my job but I want you to pay to see me again. I am not even going to bother with the blood work either. I am sure they will want to come back in to get results. I have never felt so much like I had wasted my time at a Dr.'s as I have this time. I can go to another specialist but I am not even going to bother at this point. I know Duchess is wonderful but I as the patient needs to be taken care of if time permits discuss Duchess but when you skip the part of seeing me that is rather disturbing to me. I do not want to waste any more money. I think I will see my acupuncturist because no matter the issue I always get things addressed quite easily.
