bad and good news,
Bad news, QLD health ombudsmen, doesn't believe, refusing a complex patient, after 1 previous visit. Only had 2 all up. Was grounds. For a complaint.
Considering the male doc refused, another patient, on her second visit. Turns out she as POTS and a hole in the heart, which may require surgery. Depending on ultrasound and mri, BUT the female Doc, refused and in her words, i dont know anything about you. BUT you are a complex patient. That was after requesting my yearly flu shot and my 3 monthly blood word, to keep an eye on, certain things.
Some back story, moved, NOT really my choice. But a house i lived in didn't help, health.
So Sept last year, closet doc, was supposedly bulk billed, yeh nope, to keep my health on track, there was no way in hell, i could afford the fees. /went twice one short and one long visit. ts 5 mins away and walking distance that chronic issues wouldn't flair as much.
2nd clinic, further away, bus run. OLD dude bulk billed, but argued and wouldnt listen to what i was saying or showing. Few visits was enough, Finally found another clinic. The one above, 2 short visits, One in relation to back issues, the other, flu shot and blood work. TOLD IM too complex, That was a train and bus run. Would knock my back into next week.
Finally 4th clinic in 4 months, and they bulk bill. First step, is the metro north obesity, because too many docs, tell me its the issue that is creating all the others.
HAve I had scripts, no meds, since Jan, this year. Cholesterol, thyroid, diabetes, mental health/Depression, blood thinner, because of clots, no heavy pain meds.
Just panadol, to at least deal with headaches.
New Doc wanted blood work, i'm fine with that, i'm not expecting to get into the obesity clinic. Though sleep apnea, gives it a chance as well as the blood clots. NOPE no diet drugs, I'm an over eater, not a stupid eater. With not being able to regulate my temp, and with compression fractures and my l5/s1 being in a really bad way, walking as become an issue. Then COST of living, eat, don't eat, be drugged by docs or not being drugged. (lequal)
Trying to survive and get my health better, as become more stress, then i need for schlaisia and a chronic cough, which can crack ribs and cause compression fracture. 2 years ago, only one compression fracture now 4.
So here i am trying to raise money for a new cpap machine and mask, and trying to be me.
How its working, not well. Thanks #QLDHEALTH
