Why I hate Modern Medicine

It is Monday 6:02 pm.Satan is home,and sitting across the room.My time is precious now.Paul has been in a very very foul mood since Saturday,and guess who he is taking it out on the most,ME.
Second target is now youngest son who now know dad is not functioning normally.

I titled my blog tonight that way because I have had a lot ,and I mean a lot of personal experience with Rotten Doctors,Nurses,Emergency rooms,Psychs(I won't even go there)not tonight anyway.

Go back with me 5-6 years ago.I was very ill.Bedridden pretty much all the time.Went to every Doctor and Specialist around.Basically,I was diagnosed from everything to Lymes Disease,Chronic Fatigue,to the one that really pisses me off BIG TIME,YOu are just Fat ,you need to lose weight,or you are on antidepressants,so we aren't going to take you seriously.Hellooooooo,I have depression,that doesn't mean I am 5,and that you have to talk down to me.
Finally after 3 years of sickness,pain,discouragement.I missed one of my sons College Grads,Numerous family functions,missed out on life,a Good Doctor found that I had uterine and the beginnings of cervical cancer.I had a big growth on the opening of my cervix.
They weren't sure whether I needed to go to a Gynecological oncologist.After My Gynecologist conferred with the oncologist and sent my samples,she felt that if I got a radical hysterectomy with ovary removal,I would be in good shape.So 2 biopsies and 2 surgeries later,I am cancer free.I never wanted to see another Doctor or Medical establishment as long as I lived.
Well of course,now I am back to see the Neuro,with hubby ,like All the time.
Anyway,back to this am,I called the Neuros office to ask for a letter from him to give to several ad agencies husband wasted our money on.They said they would release him from the contract if the Neuro said he was incompetant.Neuro hasn't finished testing yet,even though husband is at the level of a 3 year old,so no letter.Well ain't that friggin great,must be nice to have tons of money in the bank.I have a pile of bills here that could choke a killer whale.I have no savings,the only money I have now is for some of our current bills.I will digress and say there are out there,somewhere some good Doctors,but boy you Medical know it alls,You have a LOT TO LEARN!I spent all day yesterday and today on the phone,filling out papers,making health related and financial calls,etc,,,etc...Just one of husbands new Rx.s was 250 dollars yesterday,he takes 4!How the frig am I supposed to pay for this,how is any normal person able to live these days.I am MAD
