I had a sad moment earlier. It passed.

Sad is easy when you are stuck. Stuck, I say!

Frustrated, yes. Still happy, deep down. Hopefully my story can turn into a lesson that will help others.

Be sure your doctor is actually trying to treat your ailment. I’m not sure how that can be verified. Have the doctor’s office print out the appointment notes after the appointment to verify that what you discussed is actually what they are working on?

I made some pretty big decisions based on whether or not I had insurance.

I made some other big decisions based on my employment.

I have neither now.

Don’t assume your doctor is trying to help you.

And I copied and pasted the following, it’s out of alignment. I have a headache so it will remain out of alignment. For now. Just scroll right…

Dr. Ellis’ notes reveal she thought I was making appointments for hypertension! I NEVER made an appointment for hypertension! Never! Medical Records prove it. For almost four years as her patient, with insurance, and at times Aflac, following her instructions, thinking we were working together to find out what was happening in my body or in my head or in my mind, I’ve now realized that she wasn’t even trying to find out what was wrong.

Hindsight, I would have just scheduled a CT scan or an MRI. But I didn’t even really know what they were. Or why I might need one. But of course, I’m not the Doctor.
