Re: I'm getting frustrated and impatient with my dang doctor.

Thanks Jim,

I can see your point. I’m hoping someone can just do what you did and share their own experience. I agree about getting or giving medication advice over the Internet. I was thinking about looking for another doctor before I logged on. But that means starting a whole new set of hoops to jump through.

Fortunately we do have a generic for Ritalin, that is covered. It’s methylphenadate. (sp?) At least I did get another call today, but that was just to see another social worker who has to refer me to the psychologist who is only in that office for a few hours once a week. I’m all for healthcare being available to everyone, regardless of income, (Obama care). But our schools haven’t been keeping standards up for so many years there just are not enough doctors to help all the people with health problems, low income, seniors and disabled folks get the short end of the stick, my skin’s tough enough, but some of my neighbors are going through real hell, so getting out of my apt. and hanging around with them, especially the me shutting up and listening part of the visit, will be the best medicine for me today.

My real problem is plain old impatience, a bit too much self importance and of UNTREATED ADHD! whoops, a little more steam puffed out… I’m okay now… honest! If I just follow some of my own advice and meditate some more I’ll be fine. I’ve survived this far, and I actually have been making some progress with the ADHD symptoms.

Guess I need to grow up a little. I sorta want to be like Rick (in this particular video that is) and just show up at the doctors office to give them a good long dose of raspberries! or just email them the last half of this video http://totallyadd.com/immature Thanks for making that Rick. You helped me feel a little more grown up after watching that one. Someone tell Rick he’s awesome for me in case he doesn’t see this, ukay? thanks a bunch.
