How My Head Pain Conversations Go with Medical Staff - IH Awareness Month Day 6

From 9/6/16- I went to the cancer center two weeks ago for an infusion that made my head pain worse. This is my call after a week call with my neurologist's nurse practitioner. The circle goes on and on and on...

NP: I've run out of ideas, you should see the POTS specialist.

Me: I've been on a wait list since May, they told me to stop calling.

NP: then you should see the Neuro instead of me.

Me: I try, your office cancels and tells me I need to see you

NP: I and Dr Neuro don't think you have POTS anyway

Me: um, actually in the hospital he said the test doesn't lie and you are wrong on that and he doesn't know why you are saying I don't have it

NP: Talk to you ophthalmologist.

Me: I talked to my NO, he's right across the hall from you. He said come see you because my optic swelling is maintaining.

NP: Well, I don't know what to tell you. Did you resolve that stress Dr blah blah blah mentioned.

Me: One, she didn't mention it in my appointment and acted like she had no clue what any of you were discussing that in my next appointment. Two, I've said it before and I will say it again, all of you in these medical buildings are my stress.

NP: Maybe you should stop seeing doctors and talking meds...

Maybe I just should. I quit today.
