I don't know all the details, but...
actually none of us know all the details. we weren't there.
it's possible the receptionist was as rude as the OP claims.
it's also just as possible that the OP is misquoting and blowing things out of proportion.
she seems to have a lot of complaints about the "cunt bug faced troll receptionist," the "clueless neuro doc who is dragging his feet" and who her old man told to "take his crappy care and shove." BY THE SAME TOKEN, she says her NARCOTIC meds "fuddle her head so badly."
so all of you who are rushing to judgement and encouraging her to pitch a fit and have the receptionist fired?
kinda sucky, if you ask me, based on her own words.
Since you quoted me, I will address you and your harsh judgment of the situation and those responding to it, whatever response they might have had, whether I agree with it or not. I did not judge a situation, I gave information on what I would do. Based on my own personal experiences, personal pride, personal avocation for those with complicated medical situations, government programs and what I actually said, I find what you said, harsh, uncalled for, uninformed and coming off in an attack mode.
Do you know the issues of the chronically ill? Do you know what happens in their life, their livelihood, medically speaking and how the medical community OFTEN treats them? Do you know the heart breaking position a person who was once able, that is no longer able, finds themselves in? Do you know how hard it is for someone to go and get the help they need and all they have tried to do, not to ask for help? Do you know that one sign of a person trying not to take from the tax payer or system is that they will categorize or separate welfare services and will take the lesser of what they consider two evils... cash and medical services they must have to maintain life and will try to justify or lessen the blow of having to have help? Do you know that many times they will take less than what they could? Often times harming themselves more because they don't want help, don't want to be a burden and just want to get out of that wheel chair, or away from that cane and go to work to support their families?
Do you know that the medical community often blames the ill or injured for things they couldn't be guilty of under many circumstances and will often abuse, neglect and challenge a difficult patient? How often times they over look serious conditions based on the complexity of their medical issues, financial position or lack of insurance at a time when insurance companies will deny them services because they actually need them? Do you know the complete devastation of a chronic illness or injury that can be so serious that you need canes, wheel chairs, etc. or narcotics and what you will be called and how you will be treated if you do need them and all the in's and out's of what happens to your life, relationships, future care and pride?
Until you are aware and personally know the facts of this situation or any other, you really shouldn't be coming here judging what others have said in response to a situation and say that WE rushed to judgment when we may have some personal knowledge or experience of how things often go in similar situations. Personally, all I did was give some information. I did not encourage any thing but talking to someone that would be able to legally evaluate the situation and correct whatever might be wrong.
Do you understand what can happen when narcotic's are needed? You can feel foggy or brain muddled, when you really aren't but think you could be because you simply don't feel yourself or feel a bit off or because you are overwhelmed. I live this stuff... I often think I am worse than I am mentally because of pain, and have in the past when I did get medication, because of the medication. I have mild strokes.. because of them I can be like a dementia patient. Do you know what happens? I will know a word, a name, a factoid, but will question myself because I once might have failed to remember something, so I will think that because I did, I could or could be in a similar situation, when in fact, I am not confused, do know what I am thinking or saying and yet... will doubt myself. This is very common for people in pain, people in stressful situations and people with real medical issues and with the elderly. They are quite often far more aware than they give themselves credit for.
Often times you mention narcotic and people think you are a drug addict, must be this or that... must be high... must be so many things that simply are selected cases and not all who find themselves in a position of having a need for a narcotic. Do you know that if you need narcotic's how hard it is to get them and how many suffer and are called drug addicts seeking and why some of us give up, suffer the pain and cannot prove with records what our doctors were treating us for when we must go to a new doctor? How often times they will neglect, call us names, accuse us of various things simply because they do not want to treat a difficult patient that will require more from them and how many will neglect you hoping you will go to someone else?
Until you do know all these things... I will be nicer than I care to be... shut up and become aware. You didn't just accuse or judge the OP... but anyone else in a similar situation with your assessment of narcotic use and the effects of narcotics as well as your clear ignorance of how things go with challenging patients. You were using the OP's words... but you had no clear understanding of where they might be coming from. I do not agree with everything the OP said... but I do understand where what she said comes from. Before you evaluate situations based only on what you can see in a very complicated situation based on the facts and variations of situations such as this... you really shouldn't find fault with those giving an opinion, a fact known to them or their own evaluation simply because it is different from your own assessment.
