Well this is the last straw. If this surgeon doesn’t help me I’m not taking it quietly. I’m done being told nothing can be done when I know that’s a lie. I thought doctors take an oath to do no harm. They seem confused about what that means. Obviously not operating when it’s not necessary would be harmful but so is not operating when it could help. I have been being harmed by them for many years now by their unwillingness to help me. Have you ever heard of Dr.Phil? He has a talk show. I think I’ll go on there and shed light on how people like me with scar tissue that is causing debilitating pain are being left in misery with nowhere to turn. I know personally three other people that I talk to that are going through the very same thing. One man has had pain like mine even longer than me. He is now on disability because he can not even leave the house anymore. It’s not just our lives being thrown away by the medical community but our care givers lives as well. Our entire extended families are left to suffer because we can no longer spend time with them.
I use to think so highly of doctors but this has changed my view. It turns out those that truly care are few and far between. There is no wonder there is a opioid epidemic in society. The cause of pain in many cases is not being addressed and is instead falling on the pain management community.
Im a fortunate person in that I have a low genetic propensity for addiction. But there are many where the opposite is true. Or there are those for who the medication is not being given in adequate levels leaving them to seek out more. Then the government wants to blame the one being given pain medicine instead of having their problem fixed. Im sure the majority of people would much rather not need medication at all. How many people have the government asked how they came to need pain medicine to begin with? Im curios how many have been turned away when seeking a fix for their pain many times before being left with no alternative but pain medicine.
They act like the last surgeon who operated on us owns our body for the rest of our life. Can you imagine if we had our car serviced in a particular garage and for the rest of the time we owned that car no other garage would touch our car. It would be ridiculous yet that is where we find ourselves.
We are all in so much pain just surviving that they get away with it but I don’t care if I have to be carried on a stretcher, if I’m turned away again I will start a campaign of letter writing and internet presence and any other way possible to make the public aware of how many there are being cast off to a life of unending misery by the surgical community.
