its a sad day when your doctor, whom youve known since you were a little girl, loses your trust. i have borderline high blood pressure. i know why too... cuz ive been sitting on the couch for nine months while looking for a job. i go to get a physical (cuz my mom wont let up on me until i do) and suddenly, my blood pressure shoots up twenty points. every time i go into his office my blood pressure is 20 points higher than any where else in the city. not even my neurologist sees this happen. when the doctor comes in ten minutes later, my bp has miraculously fallen about 15-20 points for when he takes the reading instead of the nurse. today i found out that if you hit a certain number, you are automatically put on medication. not lets try some exercise and diet change but straight to lets drug you up. this makes me feel like their equipment may be faulty or rigged. plus every time i go on a medication he prescribes, after a week, i start crying for no reason. that hasnt happened to me for fifteen years, since i was suicidal. for my moms birthday i almost passed out getting up from the table at a restaurant. the doctor says well, you couldnt have had low blood pressure which means one thing... the medication is interfering with my epilepsy medication. but the doctor wont discuss it at all. also my blood has started getting an orange tinge to it. this means i am getting a potassium deficiency. my doctor says how do i know my blood is turning orange. besides the fact that i cut myself on some glass, i am also a female, and hello! what do females get once a month?! to top it off, my heart has started skipping beats since i started his medication. there is also a sign hanging in the exam room. if you are here to for a physical, that is all you get: a physical to make sure you are well. if anything is wrong, or you have a problem to discuss with the doctor, you get charged ANOTHER office visit. this one piece of information leads me to believe that the office refusing to discuss any of my fears or concerns is because my insurance doesnt kick in until next month. all my real troubles began as soon as i went to this doctors office. i am not going back. i will find another doctor. ugh. sorry. had to rant. dont do it often. maybe i should, then my rants might be shorter.
