whatever


I have come to a point when I realize that most Neurologists and other medical personnel need retraining in patient etiquette..
In layman's terms, people school! I realize the medical physicians have a lot to deal with but when you as the patient (the one who is there for a reason and will end up with the bill) comes in contact with someone who went to school to help others, then that is what you do. You are not the one who may not have sent the info on a condition, we have to at some point make our doctors communicate with us and if not, it shouldn't block the way of other caring professional to deal with the health of any patient. We should be able to voice that opinion*hey stop being a **** and realize we come to you for help. We rely on records sent by others and should be able to correct mistakes so the clear picture is provided on any info we can give-if you let us . Don't assume we don't know how or what our medical history is. We live in these bodies just as you live in yours. I recently was told that I was putting obstacles up because I am allergic to certain drugs. Although it is a fact of record, I somehow am responsible for these reactions.!!!!? This is not a new trend, most of us are used to this at some time. If you say you have never ran into this problem you have never been given the rare opportunity to be side blinded by what can only be considered as crude train wreck feeling. I know that makes a patient feel so much better being scolded for being who and what they are.
I am UN-nerved that I still have to pay for such services. I am sure there a few that do not practice rude behavior but from my circle (which contains more than myself), it is not the first time but I still hope it to be the last.

P.S. this does not imply all Md's have this flaw but I am betting on 65 percent.
Feel free to prove me wrong
