When I first moved to this state I lived in the southern part and was seeing a chiropractor for my long standing back and neck problems. Since he couldn't prescribe anything, when my back got real bad I would go to the emergency room (mistake I know) anyway, there was a doctor there who was a real jerk and didn't like me anyway. It started one time when I had broke a rib and he told me he wanted to get xrays of them to be sure. I don't have insurance, but I have had busted ribs before and know there is nothing they can do for them so I asked the Dr. "Dr, if it is broke, there isn't anything you can do for it is there?" He said no not realy so I said,"since there is nothing you can do for it, can I skip the $75.00 x-ray since I know it's hurt and you know it's hurt." This just really pissed him off for some reason and he was a jerk to me from that day foreward. Never prescribed me anything stronger than naproxen and flexeril for my back. One day I went there hoping he wouldn't be the DR. on call in desperation cause my back was to messed up for my chiropractor to even touch it. I even had to be wheelchaired in! Well of course, my "buddy" was on duty and after looking over my chart and shaking his head a few times said "ok we're gonna give you the usual Naproxen and Flexeril" I told him that those meds never work and could he please make an exception as I really hurt. He said "well, they must work, you never came back last time I gave them" I was so fed up with this guy and so mad I actually exploded on him. I am not a violent man by nature but being in pain day after day was wearing me down. I told him the reason I didn't come back was because I figured it was a waist of money and told him I didn't like him cause he was a pompous self ritous son of a bitch and that if I ever saw him walking down the street I was gonna run up to him and crack a kneecap and then give him two aspirin. Not the smartest move I admit. He was writing furiously in my chart and I never got another pain pill prescribed out of that hospital again, but Best if kept off the board it sure felt good telling that jerk what I thought. Now I live in a different part of the state and have a decent doctor, but I can sympathize with you all on these best if kept off board . All I can suggest is find another doctor, turn in the PA, whatever but don't let em push you till you explode like I did. You have a right to medical treatment. I gotta wonder about a doctor who wont give a cancer patient more than 3 vics a day anyway...... just my two cents.... be well everyone
