I posted 2 weeks ago about my concer s with the Propecia my doctor had prescribed. Well after researching an all the helpful information I got from you guys I immediately stopped t king it. I called his office last week and requested he call me about t e medication and my concerns. I called Mon, Tues, & Wed. Well on Thur (because of the valuable information I get from your guys) I immediate y found myself a new doctor. He is a RE the other was just an Endo. I called the Endo and requested my medical record, I advised them I would ick it up on Monday. (nothing about a fee was stated) Well on Monday I called to advise them I was on my way and they decided to ask me why I w nted it. I told them I wanted a 2nd option. She got snippy with me and I had to get ugly. I don't know about ya'll, but it doesn't take much t make me fly off the handle. They then advised me it would cost $1.00 er sheet and I had about 58 sheets in my record. > I told them they had crewed me enough and weren't getting anymore money out of me. I would g t my information one way or another and I was not paying for anything. Well the doctor calls me about 2 hours later wanting to know what was go ng on. I told him - not holding anything back. His office staffed adv sed him I was leaving because there was and $83 dollar balance on my acc unt I didn't want to pay for. Well there I go again right off the frick ng handle. I let him have it. He was very upset about the situation, xpress his concerns about the way I was handled and ask that I please ke p the appoint on Thursday, so we can discuss the horrible month I'd had. Oh and he told me his staff never gave him any of the message for my ca ls the previous week. Well then I get a call from the head of his man gement group. He was just wondering what went on from my side of things and wanted to see if there was anyway he could help. He appreciated me eeping my appointment and a >ssured me I was in good hands with this very ntelligent doctor. (which doesn't mean diddle) All was fine, I was g ing to go to appointment on Thurs, (need refills) and still see the new octor for my 2nd option. Well his CRAZY wife calls ME at home about 6p and goes off. Tells me the doctor does not return unimportant patient alls. That during the week he is seeing patients and has no time unless there is a dire emergency. I told her "so I'm calling about a RX he pre cribed that I have questions and symptoms I need to speak to him about a d your saying I can't till my appoint because it's not an emergency". H r response "Yep". She demanded I tell her right then and there if I was going to continue medical treatment with her husbands clinic. I told er "NO" not if this is the way you handle your husbands clinic. I told er this had nothing to do with her and she had no business calling my ho e. She told me I better never step foot in there office let alone park in t >heir drive way. I told her she was going to ruin her husband clin c and she was crazy and hung up. The next morning I called the head of he management office advised them of the situation, He advised "It was in everyone's best interest that I seek other medical advise." No S!*t herlock! He totally blew me off, thinking I'm the crazy patient. Well I told him I'll be the crazy patient till it happens to someone else, t en you will know it wasn't me. I refused to pay for records so they re used to give them. Only thing that was of any importance was the test r sults of all my blood work, MRI, & EEG. Well that was easy, called the hospital and they were more then willing to provide. I am so going to f le and report them to any and every medical agency I need too. >In the mean time I'm left with no medical treatment and the NEW doctor c n't see me till August 7th. I won't have enough meds to last, not tha it should matter. I don't see any change with any of them. I have bee on BCP for a cycle and 1/2 and have only had 3 days with nothing. It' just constant, I'm an emotional wreck. My kids have been on vacation with an aunt since Wed and I have to say I have been so glad they were. They come back tonight and I'm just a basket case about it. I can barel get up in the morning how am I going to function with the 2 running aro nd. I just can't function this way. > >I'm sorry to have rattled on for so long, but I had to vent. I'm at th t stage of just total despair.
