Just trying to survive

By NovaLovesFrogs

Yum, breakfast.

This actually isn't all of it, there's more at the pharmacy waiting for me, and more yet that I need to get new prescriptions for but just haven't been able to.

Warning!: Offensive language and tales of the American Health Care system.

Okay, so here's the deal about what happened on Friday at the doctor's.

Remember when I was denied being seen by a doctor because I supposedly owed the clinic $40?

Yeah. Well. Apparently I don't owe them anything and was wrongfully refused medical care. We spent about two hours trying to sort out the insurance bullshit, and it's still not all sorted out, but the office manager is now going to personally contact me with any information she finds out from the insurance company since my insurance company refuses to communicate with me. (Honestly, I think Incubator probably told them not to communicate with me, since my insurance is under her name, and she loves fucking me over and causing drama. Speaking of drama, she's still at it after this.)

Anyways, the office manager actually apologized to me over having refused to let me see a doctor a couple weeks ago. I was amazed that I actually got an apology. So I was allowed to see a doctor (I hadn't actually gone in order to see a doctor, but since my refill requests were being denied, when I was offered a chance to see one I took it because running out of my heart meds is very dangerous) and this doctor was actually really attentive. Which is a nice change of pace from the other doctors at the clinic.

He was even able to get my medical records from another hospital network in only a few minutes, when normally it takes this clinic months to get even the simplest of records from outside their network.

I'm trying so very hard not to get my hopes up that this doctor might actually help me. I've been let down and failed by so many doctors throughout my life that I just can't handle getting my hopes up anymore. I just can't.

Anyways, I now have a new surgeon referral for getting my gallbladder removed and an appointment already made. It's not my preferred network, but I'm willing to have a consultation and find out if this surgeon is at least competent and trustworthy. If they are, I don't see a problem with letting them remove my gallbladder.

Still have a lot of medical issues and insurance stuff to try to figure out. No clue how long that's gonna take. It's frustrating as hell, let me tell you.

Anyways. Yeah.

Sorry it took me so long to give the update about what happened on Friday. I just really needed to rest and not think about it for a while.
