Just when I thought, things couldn't get any worse with doctors, here we go again. I show up at the new CRS doctor at 11am all ready to finally get answers about this fissure and some relief.....but before I could see the doctor, I have to pay for the office visit, which was 278. which I didn't have right off hand. So I ask can I pay half and then next friday, with my debit card info, you can take out the rest...NO, we need the full amount up front. In addition to that amount, I had to pay any outstanding bills I had with the hospital they're associated with, which I have an addition 1200. from previous yrs of us....never mind I've been on payment plan with them, they wanted the money paid in full before I could see this doctor....(true story). I kept telling the lady in front of all these people, so embarrassing that a 2grand deductible can not be made this early in the year, like are you kidding me? She doesn't care and ask do I need to reschedule??? Seriously? So I'm shattered at this point, I'm so defeated at this point....driving home, I can't stop crying, driving home, I'm literly histerical to the point of almost having an accident....unfkkkenbelievable.
All I wanted was just a few minutes to discuss, nothing but discuss this dreaded desease and ways to combat it.
I think its just meant for me to suffer.....Never the less so I get home and I go on my insurance website to find someway to get around this to see a doctor....and low and behold I find out that my insurance as do most....have nurses on staff 24 hours a day 7 days a week to answer any questions you may have. But before I did that, I called University the poor man's hospital in my area and made an appt. to see their CRS...which is months away, but its okay...I'll see this guy the end of April...I'm okay with that...I just need info on pain management. So I call the nurse and for 30 minutes.....I GOT THE ANSWERS I NEEDED AND IT DIDN'T COST ME ONE DIME.....GOD IS GOOD!!
