New Doctor... It's so hard to find a really good specialist these days.
I guess I say 'these days', because they are the days when I need to seek one out.
Pulmonology is an important field. Dude, if all I had was a little cold, I'd go to any doctor just to get some meds. But when it comes to problems with an organ, the lungs for that matter, or even the heart, I don't want any bullshit from a cocky ass doctor.
I wrote a review of my doctor online, if you want a guy who is cocky, and basically tells you to shut your pie hole while you're explaining your symptoms so that he can say NO NO NO NO!!! and tell you you're WRONG about what you're feeling, and then he goes on to tell you what symptoms you really have (none of which you actually) have, then go to my doctor. If you are from NJ and want to avoid this doctor, send me an E-Mail, and I'll give you his name.
I should've gone with my gut, I went to a specialist who worked in the same office as him, he mistreated me when I had issues with my throat which turned out to be tonsillitis, and he made it worse with all these meds he prescribed for me. Oh, and FYI, the current specialist I saw from there (Dr. M) -- gave me way too many meds, for an illness I never really had, and he tells me he wants to give me more!! Even though I'm not sick! WTF PEOPLE?!
Anyway, I've worked with my company for about 4 years, I've always had the PLUS PLAN medical insurance. Never really utilized it to it's full capacity so I decided this past June to switch to the BASIC plan. (does not cover out-of-network doctors)... Go figure, June is when I find out all this stuff about my lung.
My Family Practice Doctor (Ms. S.) told me I have to get another doctor. So, finally we found one that's in network. It's hard to get an appointment with him, and I'm sorta going through an interview process with one of his Fellowes to get in.
He's in NYC, which is kinda a hike for me since I just moved to Central Jersey a few months ago. Hey man, whatever it takes to get good care!
I still have YET to be diagnosed with what they found on my lung, we're going on 2 months and don't even know if it's still growing or not.
I hate Dr. M!!!Labels: health, lungs |
