I had to go to the doctor today because I didn't feel so good last night.
So when I get there he goes "How did you do with your medications?" "What medications? I only got one. I was sure that there were more and kept asking about it but they assured me it was only one."
He got freaked out and ran out of the office.
It turns out I was supposed to be getting four pills not one. But they fucked.
So now I know the proper prescription: New Doctor.

Are you "John Smith"? 'Cause that's whose meds those are.
The health care system is perfect. Bad patient you!
I couldn't believe it. My daughter wanted to punch him in the nuts. But I took my pills and left and now am moving on.
You see he sent his partner to sign me out. He came in and said "How do you feel? Good. You signed out."
Then they had this Korean doctor who worked for the hospital write my scrip. I could barely understand her. I kept saying "where's the beta blocker, where the water pill what the fuck."
But she kept insisting she was following the orders on the chart.
I couldn't call the doctor on the weekend because I would have got the same dick who discharged me. My real doctor only came in today and fixed.
A bunch of people are telling me I have a malpractice suit.
Of course they are lawyers.
As someone who has read more deps than I care to let on, you have no winning grounds for a suit. Nothing they did was against standard of care, and they will line up expert after expert and prove it.
Take your pills, shut up and vote democrat.
Doctors are mostly stupid.
They really don't like when you learn shit and challenge them.
My new doc is hot. I mean seriously hot. She looks like she should be an actress or a $500 hooker.
And she's everything I like in a girl.
I was really disappointed to find that little Cody had decided to take that exact day to get all shy and burrow hisself halfway up to my gut. I was hoping to make a good impression.
But that really has nothing to do with your issue, huh Troop?
You don't have a malpractice suit because you're still alive.
Use the internet. Look up every pill you've been prescribed, especially look for drug intersections and side effects. People die from mixing meds, or getting the wrong ones. If you are too ill to do it, have your daughter do it, or Lisa.
Just don't trust a nurse with a German accent and delusional behavior.
Yeah, but at least the insurance is going to be a lot more expensive now.
There's a learning curve when dealing w/ a chronic illness. You'll get up to speed quickly. Pleasant and assertive works for me. You might just want to cry, that works too. Girly man!!

I hate having to do that when I see blatant incompetence at work, but it does overall work best at this point. Getting the diagnosis correct in the first place often requires full frontal assault, assholes first, but afterwards honey/flies/all that shit works better.
I agree with this. I was nice and polite but persistent. I got my meds and his monitoring me. I am going to the pacemaker dude on Friday and once I get a clean bill I will move on.
Joe Marco Polo called up Lisa and demanded we use his guy who is one of the top guys in the city. He does all the Mafia guys and he keeps those fat fucks alive so there may be something to it. He consulted on the case and agrees to the standard of care and what he is doing. I will move over to him next month.
You're a little luckier too--you've got a winning personality to fall back on.
With me, I try to smile sweetly I look like I'm trying to decide which part of them to eat first.
And I'd really have to see IcePick being honey/flies before I'll believe it happens.
Iatrogenic deaths are among the leading killers, with properly prescribed drugs making up a good proportion of that.

You'd be shocked to hear opinions of me from people that aren't either (a) in my inner circle of friends or (b) know me from my online persona.
No, probably not IcyHot.
Cuz I know there are people that think I'm a nice feller, so it makes sense you'd have some, you're probably nicer than I am overall.

If so, only by long practice. I come from some mean lineages, and I most assuredly do NOT mean that in a good way, nor do I take pride in it.
Perhaps my biggest goal in life, from a purely personal perspective, is to make certain I never turn that on those closest to me, my wife and daughter. I do not want to repeat mistakes that have been made in my family over and over again across generations.
But all of this does make me laugh when people try to hurt my feelings by calling me names. Really? That all you got? You think I didn't get that drummed into my head by my mother from the time I could walk? You think my own internal monologue misses that aspect? LOL, people are really clueless with their insults!
I even had a semi-famous author give me the big wind-up once, "This is gonna hurt, but I'm going to say something really nasty to you. You're a loser." That was funny as Hell, this big wind-up for a basic insult, and from a guy that bragged about Stephen King liking his stuff. What a fucking amateur! Let's just say this guy was no Chekhov when it comes to insight into the souls of other. And he isn't that good a writer either, but that never stopped anyone from selling.
I'd better call it a night. Or at least go eat some ice cream.
Glad to hear the meds snafu has been corrected and you have what you need for recovery available to you now. This kind of stuff is crazy making and requires a whole 'nother form of survival!
What kind of ice cream did you have, icepick?
Ended up not eating ice cream. Not sure why, that's just how it worked out.
But it would have been vanilla.
