all math aside ..
came in from day camp yesterday and get my mail ... letter from the neurologist that was assigned me after my original surgeon decided to write country music instead of being a surgeon
...in my mail box I find a letter that said that if I had any questions about my surgery or subsequent treatment address it to him not the radiologist ... he requested in the future if I had questions that I make and appointment , come in and talk with him ... can't afford to talk to him at $215 a pop
and first off , I contacted his office first for the copies and was directed to a new phone number for radiologist office that did MRIs and wrote up the reports ... then only gasped and went further when I got the conflicting number that turned out to be nothing even though it was something ... I have came in and talked with him and got no answers ... he said according to reports he had read , the surgery was textbook and that there was no evidence that the headaches I have are surgery related
...didn't have them before and have everyday since but it is not related ... that was when I decided that what ever pain control my PCP could give me was my option ...
so tripping along with my trusty PCP at my side ... I guess it is because we have a 13 year relationship and know each other in and outside the realm of doctor and patient , that he is the only doctor that has really taken my headaches seriously ... he has held my hair back from my face as I vomited in a trashcan when a wreck was in progress ...like I said he REALLY has gotten to know me ...
