Oh please, let’s not use some dust from Oklahoma as an excuse to worship the sketchy business practices of Norfolk Southern. Those folks at nestle sure provide a lot of water, I guess they’re absolved from sin too.

I’m sorry that your health issues have been viewed that way, I know it can be frustrating especially if nobody seems to have the answer. It’s equal parts provider burn out and equal parts patients who don’t want to listen and try advice of providers and it makes for a difficult situation. Keep your head down, try providers until you find one you jive with, and be willing to give the treatment plans a real college try before deciding “they suck” or something like that. We all really do want to help, but unfortunately suffer from being human.

As someone who works in healthcare, can I let you in on a little secret: people who love their doctor and generally have good relationships seldom leave positive reviews. It’s hard to find a physician above 3 stars, even some of the really patient, quality ones I work with, because people who are angry tend to leave reviews. Don’t worry about google reviews and things, meet providers and be honest (and importantly, willing to accept treatment plans while advocating for yourself which is a tough balance, I know), and give them a shot. Atrius is great.

I don’t know and don’t need to know what kind of health issues you’re having, but nothing makes a healthcare provider roll their eyes faster than a patient coming in demanding certain tests without any tact. Explain your symptoms and how it’s affecting your life, and ask them to help you solve the puzzle. Treating sniffles and non compliant patients can be boring, come in and be real with your provider and be part of your own treatment plan and you’ll find the majority want to work with you regardless of your insurance.

go to AAA instead, some sweet lady named Lois and I made small talk about our Christmas plans and she processed my REAL ID paperwork in about ten minutes flat.
