Loading ...A year ago my Primary Care Dr sent a letter offering a special fast track service if I would join for a fee of $2000 up front.
I never responded,Im on medicare!.
Well I had a Gout attack and wanted something for the Pain ,but when I called the Dr office the answer service told me I was caller 37 and would have my call answered in order it was received.DOC joined with 10 other Dr’s to save office expense ! After 20 minutes waiting for a voice to answer.I was greeted with a message “if you need immediate attention call 911…..I waited a little longer for a voice again and I was told DR K was “booked up” for the next 3 weeks and no appointment could be made until after that. I explained I was in terrible pain and all needed to get a script for pain ,not an exam.I was then told “we do offer a walk in service with another DR.
I said is he a licenced Physician and does he accept medicare she said yes ..I said Ill be right there.I got there and waited my turn after 4 patients ahead of me I saw the Dr.He said he wanted to do blood work I said ok…They sent me to another room where a young black man about 20 years old asked me a list of questions ,he was very polite and friendly then he went looking for a needle to extract blood……He paused and said to me I had small veins and “I dont know if I should be doing this”?
He obviously haden’t had any training at all because the prospect scared him ! You can imagine what it did to me ! I quickly suggested I had seen a Reg Nurse earlier why not get her to do it.. He said she been very busy ! I said “Ill wait I got plenty of time ! There was no way I was going to let him do it !..He finally rounded her up and she took enough blood for 3 different tests.While i was waiting I looked around and noticed the place was filthy trash can with no lids held old bandages ,the examining bench had torn leather and even the paper covering was brown from being used and never changed wrinkled and looked used,obviously used equipment..
and this was the NEW WALK in Service ! She took her blood samples and I had Doc write me a script for pain and got out of there!
Two months went by and I was in another Dr. office a kidney specialist I see twice a year..I asked him to request the records of my blood test from the other Dr.Since he never bothered to call me back with the results or mail me a copy.He’s a good Doc and got what I requested and looked the results over ..since he had an interest in the results also. Everything looked ok to him.I thanked him .Then he asked what did I do about the Gout attack ! I said I took care of it myself ! You did ?How?
I took a dose of Caster oil and that flushed the excess acid from my system in one Day! .He said where did you learn that.? I said i used to have a fantastic Dr,but he has since passed away.Following a very severe Gout attack He gave me several pills of Colchicine which is a poison taken in small doses causes the body to flush everything out.I was told to take one every hour until the onset of diarrhea ..and viola ! Gout was gone the next day!
I never forgot that ! I then reasoned Castor oil is from a poisonous Plant that does the same thing taken in small doses. I followed the label and took 5 tablespoons of it with exactly the same results as the Colchicine !…
Kidney Doc then said I see and thats available without a Script ? I aid yes for about 4 bucks you get a whole bottle !
He just shook his head and said Ill see you in 6 months..
