I hate…

my doctor. Well the one who did my colonoscopy anyways, and maybe not hate but I am definitely starting to think he should be put on my list of people I don’t like. I have been having pain, cramping, and (I know this will be TMI) but very, umm how to say this delicately, loose bowel movements? I guess that will do. From my point of view I’m starting to get worried. Right now I am on 2 different antibiotics. My doctor called me on Monday to see if anything had changed since I saw him in the hospital last Friday. I told him that it wasn’t so he said to wait another day and see if the antibiotics would kick in (at this point I was only on one kind). He said that if they hadn’t to call back in on Tuesday and he would write me a prescription for a second antibiotic to see if it would help me out. I called Tuesday and he wasn’t there… but he had left me a prescription so the secretary faxed it to my pharmacy so I could start taking them. I called again yesterday because I still have questions about my still-occurring pain and loose bowel movements and couldn’t get ahold of anyone in his office. I left a message on their machine and got a call this morning from his secretary telling me that my doctor wouldn’t be in for the rest of the week! and that he had left a message saying that if my pain got any worse to go in to the ER. I mean first of all he told me to call back so we could talk about what to do… and I didn’t talk to him at all. And since then he hasn’t called me to check up or not. I can understand if he was busy with patients and such but he took the rest of the week off! UGH. I really have no patience for being pushed aside by a doctor.
And if I were to go to the ER it would mean not only pushing all of this stuff on a new doctor who has no idea of my history, but it would also mean that I would be put through repeat tests of everything done last Friday so they can have the results there with them. I have given enough blood for tests in the last year that I could have probably supported a whole new person by now. I really wish he would call me back and point me in some kind of direction so I’m not left here letting my panic start to slowly creep in. When he spoke with me last Friday and this past Monday he started getting me a little paranoid with the way he was acting and how he didn’t really seem to know what to do. So my panic is starting and I would really like to avoid that.
Thats enough ranting for me for now I guess. I wanted to get that down not only because I’m starting to freak out a bit but because I am also wasting time until Kai gets back from the gym and I can go hang with him… he’s on the phone now.
Later days!
