Too much to put in writing. First I make the attempt to get a primary doctor in this area since Kent is too far to go. It was confirmed on the phone that the doctor they had chose for me could handle my care and my chronic pain regiment (which is pretty mild) But I have to wait to see her. In the mean time I have to go to urgent care since my back was very painful and I wanted to make sure nothing was wrong. The doctor I had seen was very stressed and rude. He did not even examine me, he just gave me a script and told me not to come back cause he cant write another (I never asked him too). I end up later in emergency care with an MRI and find that there was a big issue. I have to follow up at this clinic so the (primary) is not available so I see a doctor that is considered (not an on staff dr. but one that helps everywhere) he examines me thoroughly, prescribes me pain pills and tells me if I need a refill to just call the clinic and it can be refilled. So I run out 3 days before my appointment but am told when I called they would not refill until I see the primary and be established. The said that dr was wrong. So my appointment comes and the pain thickens. She did not examine me at all, not even blood pressure (which I take pills for). She tells me she cant write a script to refill for me and that is the policy there she knows since she wrote it. She asked if I needed BP pills but did not take my BP. So strange. So did I get treated this way because I was on state insurance? So they pay her and she does not even examine me?? In the end, I ended up with surgery and told that I had a cyst between the bundle of nerves and my spine along with spinal stenosis, which explains why I had so much pain for so long. Needless to say that due to the delay it is taken a little longer to heal and I am sticking to my primary in Kent where they care about the care you are receiving.
Awful Doctor. Condescending and judgemental. My husband saw this dr, it was not me - but ever since he was interogated by this Brett, my husband tries to avoid going to any and all drs since this doctor made him feel so terrible. You're not supposed to be put down and insulted going to any doctor but this Brett guy did. Awful. And if this doctor reads this I'd like to remind you that you're not a dentist. And remember what they say about Assumptions. What a turd.
I like Dr Schweitzer, I think he is very intelligent and efficient and I understand it must be frustrating to have a patient refuse a treatment that you consider in their best interest, but I dont think I had to be told Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I think this is condescending. Here is the reason I just could not face the decision to go on metformin call it denial call it what you want. I have been dealing with my husbands onset of Alzheimers. I have taken over the bill paying which he messed up, the car repairs ( he locked the key in the car while it was running, left the door agar and the battery went dead), his Dr appointments, his losing things ( keys, wallet, credit cards, hearing aids) I do the house repairs and all the yard work. My life is a series of decisions of what to do next regarding finances, heath care, maintenance, taking care of him. If Einsteins definition is true then I am totally bonkers because I wash windows, clean floors, plan meals, cook meals, clean the stove, refrigerator, oven, make beds, do laundry, and maintain 1.25 acres of ground and for some reason I expect a different outcome every time. I expect my floors to be kept clean longer than a day, I expect that the pie wont boil over in the oven, I expect to only weed the yard once a year, but I digress, what I am trying to say is right now I dont need my doctor trying to intimidate me. I already know the long term effects of diabetes and I will probably comply with the treatment but with everything else I am dealing with I just needed him to cut me a little slack. After all I have to look forward to my husband who I have been married to for 51 years turning into a vegetable. Sometimes intelligence isnt enough, you need wisdom. (Thats my famous quote)
