Ugh, doctors make me sick sometimes I have two wonderful family doctors who are trying so hard to take care of me, but these darn specialists...they are so frustrating. My doctor was trying to arrange a second opinion since the GI I saw only did a colonoscopy (no other tests) and when it came back negative said nothing was wrong with me and let it go at that.
Since the pain and problems have gotten so severe lately, he figured he'd be able to get another doctor to see me. He even mentioned I've lost almost 50lbs now...and he couldnt' find anyone. They are all so overstuffed with patients that they said if a GI guy already saw me and didn't want to do anything, they won't do it!
God, now I just don't know what to do...something is definately wrong, and I think it's something other than IBS or I doubt I would be in this much pain. I'm going back to that crappy GI...the only thing I can think is to bring my Dad with me...he can be pretty darn forceful sometimes but often too much, and he makes people angry, but maybe that's what I need. I can't just rollover and do nothing...and apparently until I lose enough weight that I'm in the "danger" zone they don't care about that either.
Sorry, I'm just venting. I figure I'll give this crappy GI one more chance, and if he still won't investigate the problem, I may have to take out a loan and shell out the money to go to a private clinic we have near here...$875 for the initial assessment, but they're apparently really good.
Sheesh...just absolutely ridiculous... Kelly
