Dr. appnt's...

I can't stand to go to the doctor. Well,IF I had a good doctor's clinic to visit- I might would. First of all... this clinic we are assigned to here in VA is in a shopping center in what looks like use to be either a grocery or furniture store. It seems like everyone in there are contract workers and DOES NOT SPEAK ENGLISH all that well. I never know if the girl taking my vitals is a LPN or RN. They act like they have no clue how to convert the weight measurement on the scales, read a blood pressure cuff correctly, and did I say- DOES NOT SPEAK ENGLISH? ok- I know I should calm down here. It was just one of those days. I hear some of my friends say this same clinic is good and never had a bad experience but NO- NOT ME_ NOT YET_ and I don't think EVER will experience anything good about going over there. My visit today was b/c I have this really bad pain in my neck and right shoulder. I feel like sometimes my rotary cuff is going out on me. My neck always feels like I slept on it wrong- some days it is so painful I take a muscle relaxer then I can't take care of my kids so I'd rather be in pain. Then it puts me in a bad mood if I don't take the muscle relaxer. Anyway- back to my appnt experience today. I go into the room. Sit in the chair. Patiently wait. Then, in walks a doc and she sits straight down in a chair in front of a computer with her back to me. She starts asking me what brings me in for the day. I start explaining- not once did she look at me, examine me, or NOTHING. She asked a few questions WHILE she's typing- I answer as she continues to type. I tell her that my shoulder hurts me more when I sit in front of the computer with my arm up on the desk using the mouse... DING DONG- that must have been it b/c she finally looked at me and said "well that's your problem." That's all she said. She felt like b/c I deal with the pain and play softball that it's nothing serious enough to do any kind of x-rays. BUT she ended up sending me over to x-rays but only after she made it a point to say that I really didn't need the x-ray b/c she didn't think anything was wrong. You all may agree but it takes a lot for me to make an appnt in the first place and all I wanted to know was what was the cause of the pain. Needless to say that first thing Monday morn- I am off to search for a new clinic and doc for me and the kids.
