Ya know I believe you, but I can't quite believe it. I just think I must be annoying. Thank-you. Oh God, thank-you. I'd be missed? really? wow.
as for my Pdoc, I am so lucky... It sounds like I'm bragging about him, but then I realize, hey, I'm not having him over for dinner I'm his patient..
I made the mistake of not seeing him for a yr..going to closer docs, listening to them, totally got messed up. He's like a super hero
I was in the ward a while ago (voluntarily) tapering off Ativan a plan was worked out with my G.P They broke their promise,cold turkey'd the ativan switched me to another drug, which I pleaded for them not to give me (had it before) removed one of my other meds (dexedrine)saying it would make things easier,I tried to tell them it calms me, it doesn't increase my anxiety. They said that was not possible.
Was told I wasn't going through withdrawl, I was having a power trip with the nurses. Middle of the night I was choking, hallucinating, trying to explain...
Phoned Super Doc on a SUNDAY sounding like a hysterical junkie... He came to the hospital in PERSON 3 hours away, To validate what I had told them... very proffessionally of course,and because he's taught most of them, there were many blushing people. It felt so great (petty as it may sound) But it also really made my heart break for people who can't articulate, or who are defenceless, nevermind not having someone like that go to bat for them. and no, super doc and I are not having an affair, I'm a regular patient and he treats us all that way.) So there is one who's true blue. Funny, he knows so much but he's the only PDoc I know of who doesn't act like he knows everything...And I'm never letting anyone else mess with my brain.
