Acting Out in Anxiety and Anger
| Mon, 04-04-2005 - 12:09pm |
I had an appointment with my doctor about my type 2 diabetes today. I was just diagnosed in early March. I was in the hospital at the time for a related illness. Anyway, there I was given a prescription for Actos, a diabetes medication. I ran out last week and called my doctor for a refill. The assistant who answered the phone said I could not get a refill unless I saw the doctor first since she didn't originally prescribe the med. They said I couldn't come in until today at 9:45am. I was not pleased because I need the medication and also because I need to get her Rx for my glucose monitor. So I show up this morning. They have no record of my call or appointment. They refuse to work me in today. They say that the conversation never took place. They say I can't have a prescription. I was feeling irritable before the appointment. I have been having bouts with insomnia, and I had been up since 2am. Well, no more excuses..to make a long story short, I went OFF!!! I dropped the F bomb. I yelled. I yelled at the nurse in the back and then walked through the waiting room yelling...so so embarrassing. I am going to have to find a new doctor so I can get my medicine. I also take stuff for my thyroid. I just lost it because I felt that my doctor did not really care about my health and it hurt my feelings. I guess since I am not covering or stuffing my feelings by overindulging in food or booze, I have a surplus! I go to see my new psychiatrist tomorrow. Hopefully that appointment will go better than this one~

Hi there,
I am sorry that the Dr's office really messed up. I can't believe they did that to you. To withhold a diabetic's medicine is just plain wrong. Good luck with your psychiatry appointment.
Let us know how it goes.
Take care.
Hugs,
Hi!!
