To
begin
my
experience
here,
the
receptionist
snapped
at
me
because
I
did
not
have
my
new
insurance
card,
only
because
I
have
not
yet
received
it
in
the
mail.
The
nurse
was
short
with
me
and
I
guess
figured
only
three
symptoms
was
all
I
was
allowed
to
have.
The
doctor
came
in,
and
the
first
I
told
her
was
I
avoid
the
ER
or
urgent
care
because
each
time
I
do
visit
and
am
dealing
with
pain,
I
am
immediately
treated
as
though
I
am
drug
seeking.
After
telling
her
all
of
the
ways
I
have
been
battling
the
pain...dental
pain,
which
is
arguably
the
worst
type
of
pain
to
deal
with..oragel,
ibuprofen,
Tylenol,
hot
and
cold
packs,
warm,
salt
water
rinses...she
did
an
exam
which
brought
me
to
tears
when
touched
and
had
be
clinging
to
the
table
trying
not
to
scream
out.
She
then
tugged
on
my
ear
and
acted
surprised
when
I
whimpered.
I
was
told
I
had
an
abscess
on
my
tooth
and
the
infection
was
spreading
to
my
ear.
She
prescribed
me
ibuprofen
and
antibiotics.
I
had
told
her
twice,
the
exact
antibiotics
she
was
trying
to
give
me,
gave
my
daughter,
who
is
breastfeeding
a
terrible
reaction
and
put
her
in
the
ER,
with
dehydration
from
vomiting
and
diarrhea.
This
didn't
seem
to
concern
the
doctor
at
all.
She
just
kept
repeating,
"
we
need
to
take
of
you
first"
WHY
WOULD
ME
BABY
NOT
BE
A
CONCERN
OF
MINE?!
After
I
was
completely
honest
with
this
woman
about
being
I'm
recovery
and
how
desperately
I
avoid
urgent
care
because
of
being
discriminated
against,
she
went
right
along
and
did
exactly
what
I
knew
was
going
to
happen.
So
I
left
there,
with
no
relief
from
the
unbearable
pain
I
was
in
with
no
end
in
sight.
Thanks
so
much
for
proving
WHY
MORE
MEDICAL
PROFESSIONALS
NEED
ADVANCE
TRAINING
ON
RECOVERY.
My
recovery
is
my
choice
and
I
have
worked
DAMN
HARD
to
have
and
keep
it.
But
that
should
NOT
keep
me
from
being
treated
as
a
human
that
was
in
a
ridiculous
amount
of
pain
and
was
turned
away
feeling
ashamed
for
asking
for
help.
