Chapter 16: Doctors Are Assholes

Nov 1st, 2018

So today I was supposed to receive the test results from my EEG and by 3:00 pm I had heard nothing. Nada. Zip. Knowing the clinic closes at 4:00 pm. I was preparing to call them, but my wife beat me to it. She finds out they had no intention of giving me my results today. I had to wait until my next regular appoint which is Dec. 5th.

My wife reminds them the doctor had told us that we were to be scheduled for an earlier appointment due to the seizures and the tentative appointment date was Nov. 7th. This was discussed over a week ago and we had called two days ago and still not received confirmation of that appointment.

Believe it or not, the asshats had not even attempted to schedule an appoint for me until today and now my earliest appointment time is Nov. 28th. Three fucking weeks. The nurse then tried to tell my wife we could either have the EEG results given to us over the phone by the doctor OR the earlier appointment time, but not both. My wife’s like no. You’ll give us both. Based on the nurses previous behavior I will not get the results until the 28th. Actually, at this point, I’m considering a lawsuit against them as I’ve already filed one complaint due to my care being mismanaged.

Now, I’ve told the people who handle FMLA for my company I have a doctor’s appointment on the 7th and they’ve extended some mercy to me as far as paperwork and such. I wonder how they’re going to take another three-week delay? There will come a point that good intentions or not they won’t be able to flex anymore. Bye Bye job.

I was telling my daughter today I’m about to take all their fucking medicine except my blood pressure medicine and throw it out the fucking window and go get the strongest CDB I can find and call it a day. They haven’t done anything but got me hooked on anti-seizure medicine and I’m having seizures or shakes or whatever you want to call it. They said I haven’t lost intellectual capacity then tell me where the fuck my education is! Why can’t I multitask or do higher abstract reasoning? Why does creative thinking literally cause me pain and make my fucking body shake you idiots! Tell me why I know almost nothing about fields I was a recognized expert in? Explain it to me!

You can’t. All you will say is I have a migraine with aura that includes light and sound sensitivity with Broca’s Aphasia. Two weeks on CBD did more for me than a year on your shit. Two blessed weeks of silence and minimal pain. I hope my doctors and nurses get an 8-hour chainsaw people migraine that’s so bad they want to put a gun in their mouth AND have Aphasia muteness at the same time so they can’t tell anyone how they feel. Let’s see them look at another patient after that and treat them like this.
