I have exhausted civic, legislative and human resources pleas. I am
anxious and upset. I want to avoid calling an ambulance and going to
emergency just because i can't get to the doctor. I have said all
this to my physicians who don't make house calls, won't renew my
script and don't care.
My neurologist won't renew my scrip because i haven't been to see her
in a year. My GP said she won't authorize the med. Where everyone
else takes 4 or 5 meds i take this one that is cheap and has no side
effects and helps me manage pain.
My next appointment with the neuro is the 21st. I had one with her
last month, but couldn't get transport for the appointment. The
office offered me an appointment for 10 am on Thursday but that was
undoable-- the only possible times are from 10 to 2 for transport so
there's no way i could be at the office at 10 and the offfice
offered me no leeway -- like a 10:30.
Can i live for a month without it? Hoping that when the time comes,
that i can indeed get a ride to see the neuro on September 21st. The
system has changed so while you dare not ask the same week or next
day, knowing a month a head of time doesn't gurrantee that when the
time comes, you will be given a ride....
perhaps i should call the hospital and say i' a nonemergency
contemplating coming to emergency because my doctor won't give me the
care i require. My pain and anxiety are great.
This is all so frustrating, money wastingly ridiculous.
