...Sadly, the few new doctors they manage to coerce into moving to our area are so quickly filled up with new patients, that those who already have a doctor are last on the list.
I saw my doctor last week for some severe back pain that I have been managing to work through for the past year or so. I know he's borderline useless, so I had been putting off seeing him. When I saw him in the spring, I mentioned the back pain, but he kept ignoring it and focused on other things instead.
It got really bad in the last month, so I finally saw my doctor again, and this time, I avoided mentioning any of the other symptoms except back pain and the issues it was causing in my right leg.
I showed him every spot on my right lower back and right leg that was either in pain or was numb.
When I finished, he asked me, "So is there any pain in the right leg?"
I couldn't help but snap at him that I had just showed him my right leg.
The good thing is that he did actually send me for an X-ray, but I haven't heard anything from them yet as to the results.
He needs to retire, and I need to get myself on a waiting list for a new doctor.
