I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

SIX you can't sue them. Lawsuits follow the "no harm, no foul" principle. And even if you suffered permanent harm with a monetary value attached, you'd have an incredibly hard time winning since Drs are allowed to make mistakes. It takes heaven and earth to prove malpractice.

You know what they say about the difference between doctors and engineers?
"Doctors bury their mistakes, engineers have to live with theirs".

Oh, here's another:
"Q: What's the difference between surgeons and God?
A: God doesn't think he's a surgeon!“

And, one about lawyers:
"Q: What do you call six lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?
A: A good start"

BRENDA, I doubt you'll see this, but thanks for the explanation.

And, yeah ... it WAS a bad week!

What do you call 6 doctors at the bottom of the ocean?

A good start.

We need to change their protections.

I've got CGM logs that prove what they did to me. Or at least what they would have done to me if I was as stupid as Ted or Second, anyhow. This isn't hearsay.

I'm writing logs on everything, and my old man will see it all first thing when he comes in the door a week from now when he's trying to call me about what day to come over and I'm not answering because my blood sugar went too low. Not saying that's going to happen, because I don't think it will, but if it does...

The doctor who made it very clear that it was extremely important that I got the X-Rays yesterday was not in today either, and I doubt very much she'll be in until at least Monday. Not a single other person has reached out to me to go over my X-Rays and tell me what the next step is or if I need to be on other meds, as she alluded I would be depending on the X-Ray results.

As of this morning, 23 hours after I got the X-Ray, they still hadn't gotten it. Not only that, but when I explained the high glucose situation and the fact that I'm now basically a Type I and Type II Diabetic at the same time because of these steroids, the girl working behind the computer had the gall to tell me "because of what you're telling me right now, I would recommend not taking anymore of the steroid". I told her "all due respect, but everything I've read about this drug says DO NOT STOP TAKING IT UNLESS A DOCTOR ORDERS YOU TO STOP TAKING IT".

So I called the facility where I got the X-Rays and they swore up and down that it was already sent to them. I told them that they told me that they never got it. So she sent me the X-Rays directly to my email. I'm glad I kept her on the phone, because it was in a password protected zip file. At least she had that. But then I opened it and it was a blank form that didn't say anything about me except for my name and my Sex. Everything pertinent was either "N/A" or "No information on file". So she said she was going to "try something else and send it to me again". She had no interest in staying on the phone while that happened, although she told me she would be resending it to the place where I got my scripts.

This time I got a real form with real results. Not any of the X-rays themselves, but a one page form with a bunch of doctor-speak about the results.

It has now been 2 full days and several hours since my initial visit. I still have not been contacted by anybody there. My only conversations have been with the desk jockeys, and that's only because I called them. Every time I've been told that a "provider" would be calling me back, whatever that means, but nobody has called me yet.

They have my phone number. They have my email. No contact whatsoever.

Trust me, SIX, you'll get nowhere bc you don't have a winnable case. We have “been there and done that“ with our daughter’s catastrophic birth, and lackadaisical followup and misdiagnosis for the first three years of her life and got nowhere.

Even if you were to die, your family couldn't prove malpractice. The best they could get would be "wrongful death".

Find something else to be pissed off about bc this will just eat a hole in your stomach.
