Well, what a day!

This one has been a tough one. I had a doctors' appointment with my husband own family doctor. He agreed to see me and told my husband that he would be able to help me out with my scripts. Well, he didn't. Once again, yet again, yet another doctor said to me that 'he does not know much about Lyme and can't help me'. I did tell him that he did go to medical school so this is his job and he needs to get informed`. My husband told me that I was being antagonist. I say if he was a better doctor that wouldn`t have happened. I am so fed up with ingnorant doctors who are too damn lazy to get informed and it`s that laziness that leaves patients untreated. The argument is that they are liabel if they treat a patient when they don't know what they are doing. I say if these doctors were to contact my specialist, read up on Lyme and get informed there is no liability just intelligent medical care. Right now all these doctors that I have dealt with practice cover their ass medicine, Lyme patients be damned. I also say that they are equaly liabel by not treating a patient and there only defense is a pitiful ignorance of the disease. No court allows anyone to plead ignorance yet these doctors are practicing medecine on that philosophy. That makes them liabelous just the same. In fact with there refusal to get informed it is willfull ignorance and arrogance. That does not sound like a good defense for their actions.
Today has been a sad day. I shed lots of tears. Mostly I was upset because I thought and felt, finally it`s all over and I actually will have a doctor. Disappointment and despair is on tap today. Lots of tears from that tap.
I tried going to some CLSC`s this afternoon. The Quebec gov`t kepts telling us residence to use them. They are suppose to be these walk in cliniques for the Quebec population. So I tried them this afternoon. One I needed an appointment, two others only has nurses not doctors, the other does not take any new patients and one does take in walk ins but you have to register at 7:30am to see a doctor and the doctors show up at 9am. Also she said that usually by 9:30am they close the clinique to walk ins because they are at maximum capacity for the day. And I am paying taxes into this crappy medical system. I want a refund. Ridiculous. Frustrating. This has been one hard day.
Until next time- stay tick free and toodles for now.
