Yes it is, but Jens is a sociopath and insane so he will do anything to get attention... I have talked to Tyler on the phone and encouraged him to be assertive---lord knows I've had enough time in the WTF is happening part with doctors...right up to right now.. Tyler, Gene said it best so far....You have a whole buncha cards in your hand, the question is when and how you lay the cards down... In my case i think I was just plain too stupid to think of consequences. Just keep on pushing was the only thing I know/knew When I was 10, the papers were signed giving permission to chop off my left leg below the knee cause it was roasted to a crisp--seriously--crispy.. We (the good Army doctors in the burn unit and my whole fambly) fought it for months and they saved the leg...took over a year tho When I was 16, the papers were signed giving permission to chop off my left leg at the hip.....We fought it and thank Dog, it wasn't cancer and they saved the leg...another more than a year of fighting. When 19 the papers were signed giving permission to chop off my left pinky, at 22 my whole left thumb.... Got them both--even if they a little ugly And then there was the knees.... And then 10 years of crushed discs and badly pinched nerves.. Andrew Steere here was generous enough to drive 55 miles down from the wastelands of Nude hampster to my shop in the fawkin Bawstin area and help me pack up and close down the shop....he told me years later that he and some others figured i was going to keel over dead it looked so bad---so unable to walk, use left arm, see straight, or even talk sometimes.. 10 years and finally one simple operation..all better ask rallymech Robert, he picked me up from the hospital on the Tuesday and I was over on Friday and Saturday pulling engine and installing like nothing... Grit your teeth. Get pissed off, use the anger to fire yourself up, but always look forward....it could be worse....you could be a hopless, bitter old fuck who hates everything has no joy in life...no music from 2 little girls giggling in the background... Keep on keeping on, same as before, do what you were planning, this is just one more thing...

so, your doc was an ass when you saw him in person, and then he tells you that shit over the phone
I still think you need a new doc, even if he did finally get off his bum and find out what really is wrong personally, I wouldn't trust him and he already sounds like a jerk I had issues for months with a shithead doctor when I was 22, turns out I had 3 herniated disks in my back, I had to get a 2nd opion to find that out. But, the 2nd opinion doc was in the same office as the shithead. So, he wouldn't steal a patient from a fellow coworker. It would take me too long and I'd get too upset to explain how it all went. But, I ended up with a semi-retired neurosurgon that was my aunt's neighbor, he wasn't taking on new patients but decided to help me out. He was amazing, amazing as a doctor and an amazing person (RIP Dr. Milgard). He also reported the asshole for being unethical. Turns out how he was speaking to me and treating me was a big no-no. |

Yeah. I'm sure dialysis is going to help a lot more than I think it will, though. Gonna call my doctor soon and ask him a few questions and such. And I don't think anyone in my family would be a match.
And yeah, I think me being young puts at least one thing in my favor. And that's great. I'm not giving up. Because I'm sure another doctor will tell me I'm just fine and being a little over dramatic. Or agree with me. Either way, life is life.
Oh hey, James. Wassup, bruh? And yeah, I read you can do it at home too. Or I can drive 20 minutes and have a FINE ASS NURSE DO IT FOR ME. Seriously, the nurses at my hospital are hot as hell. And I had to quit drinking. Pshhhh. That's the worst part. I can't drink anything but water. Oh well. And my 3/4 of one is....eh. Just hoping that infection doesn't come back. If so, I'm probably done for. Still discussing options with my doctor. And alright. I'll try not to crash too many times. Accident free for 8 days! I almost hit a tree last night on the way to Taco Bell, but I saved it. Unintentional fishtailing in a FWD car around a corner isn't fun. Well, it is. But...you know.
Now I carry on as usual. But without booze. And random moods with "Damn. This sucks. Fuck this shit." All presidents suck. Deal with it and move on, no matter how it effects 'Murrica or the rest of the world.
Ah jeez. Yeah, if more doctors say "Yeah, the guy that said you're dying is full of shit. Fuck that guy." I'm gonna go over there and punch him in the side of the head. And probably piss on his Camry.
I hope he doesn't find out that me getting sick is a secret plot to get Oh Bam Uh back in the white house. He'd tinkle on himself if her found that out. And jeez, that doesn't sound that fun. Any of it. I'm glad you're mostly fixed. Last time you called you said something about your leg having problems. How's that going? Still giving you problems? Eh. I never get pissed off about anything. Funny thing for an Italian, huh? I'm not THAT Italian, but still. And yep, I'm not going to let a little pansy ass thing like kidney failure get in the way of....uh....playing video games and saving up money to cage my Xratty.
Yeah Merrilee , that sounds about right. Spineless prick in person but over the phone "Oh hey, I was wrong. You're just plain not doing well." Not seeing him again. There are like 4 offices next to my hospital and my PCP's office is right around there. I'll get my paperwork back from Dr. Dumbass. "So do I get my papers and CT scan CD from the doctor or what?" "No, he'll put it in your file." "Oh okay." I'm still new to pretty much everything so I don't know how stuff works. I'm glad you're all fixed up. Any luck with any new doctors? Why do you even need brakes? Are you some sort of pansy or something? |

Doctors suck. Just slap them about the face and head area until they stop being stupid. Why do you even need brakes? Are you some sort of pansy or something? |

You broke your leg? How? Get that shit fixed, mang.
Sweet chocolate Jesus, I don't think I wanna know how you broke your leg. Why do you even need brakes? Are you some sort of pansy or something? |
