Hi Natalie
I agree with you that the medical community has lost all sense of compassion and reality of what patients are going through. It infuriates me to think there is a bunch of people who don’t know me or anyone else and is making decisions about my level of pain. It’s barbaric, irresponsible, and incompetent to treat patients this way. My doctor has cut my pain meds way back. When I asked what I’m supposed to do when the pain gets too much he responded by saying he doesn’t have time to help me. When I told him I was having a very difficult time with the cutbacks, he responded, that he’s heard it all before, even people saying they would rather be dead to which I replied.. that thought had crossed my mind to which he said..that’s always an option. I can only conclude that he is doing his best to make me leave and find a new doctor or really doesn’t care about anyone but himself. Anyway, I’m sorry about the rant. I hope you can find some relief where ever you can and have more good days than bad ones. Just wanted you to know, you’re not alone. Hang in there. I pray for better days ahead. Take care
