This is me being pathetic.. I just really wanna whine (Doctors) I'm Down.. bummed out
TOTALLY a vent. COMPLETELY selfish whining. TOTALLY being a crybaby B!tch, but I just need to get this out.
I am SO fed up with doctors. I look at my calendar and it’s sprinkled with “Dr appt” How many doctors does a girl really need. None of them have good news. I feel like I’ve been poked, proded, squeezed, squished and manipulated by someone almost every week this month.
Today just sorta topped off my frustrations. I had to be up extra early (for me) cause I had to be in the city by 7am to make it to a 7:45am appt. Thank god the doctor is really nice. I am generally a cheerful gal and she was really nice morning person (hard to find doctors who are morning people).
So we go through the drills which I am SO very used to by this point in my life. We came the same conclusion that my primary doctor and I had already. So basically learned nothing new. But as all good doctors do, she’s gonna run a few tests to make sure nothing is majorly wrong with me (other than Im one odd fellow).
So I get poked, prodded and pricked (they took blood). Lady taking my blood isn’t really paying attention and the need is practically wagging in my vein and she moves around and goes through paperwork while my blood is filling vials. She had one of those needles that you stick in and then it’s got a tube that runs to the collection needle part they they stick in the vials that fill with my blood, so it’s not like it’s RIGHT at the needle part (as is usual for me). I love how she told me “I’m using a bigger needle cause the smaller ones take too long” uhmm you don’t even know me (first visit here for me) how do you know I don’t fear needles? I don’t but that big needle flipped twice. I got a nice sized hole now. Oh and I should mention I got ‘clean veins’ I fill those vials up like it’s the races. I’ve never had a problem with cholesterol or blood pressure – there’s no need for a ‘bigger needle’.
Then it was “your next test will be given later.. let’s schedule an appt” GREAT another appt. So now Im trying to think, when can I do this. I have another appt with a different doctor I still need to schedule and a dentist appt I need to go to and yet ANOTHER doctor who wants to see me but I haven’t even called him. BAH!!!!
Plus this test will be as she says “uncomfortable” geez there’s a newsflash. *sigh* And this test involves ‘prep’ meaning fasting of sorts and other things I have to do to be prepared for this next ‘test’. Which when I read the paper they handed me I realize will make work impossible. So now I have to think.. when are the other doctor appts when are my client appts, when are the other office appts and great when is my next period too cause that (altho this isnt the female doc) could skew the results and then figure out when I have time to take a day off and DO this stupid test! All on the fly as if I keep a running tab on what’s what.
Worse, she and I both already know the results of this test. I am NOT in constant pain day by day and I have NOT lost a large amount of weight. These being the two major symptoms of whatever thing she said that I can’t pronounce that she also said she knows I don’t have but…. Just want to be sure.
I am SO fed up with doctors! I need a drink! heh
Sorry for dumping here. I am sure I have it a LOT better than others and shouldn’t complain but sometimes, it just feels like I spend all my time in sanitized areas of pain and discomfort with a dash of sympathy and concern from the doctors.
Ok.. Maybe I should go buy something sweet. Try to think happy thoughts. Im so down.
