Mf-er just give me the antibiotics!!!!

I have a major vent and am at my total limit of being sick on the verge of a total breakdown 

Its antibiotics not crack and my Dr is holding out on me. 

I have been sick for over a month, with 14 days of an antibiotic already towards the beginning of being sick. I just saw her Monday and I am getting worse not better. AND she wanted me to come back into the office, FOR WHAT? So she can look at my red throat, feel my swollen glands, and see the puffiness under my eyes from my swollen sinuses, she saw that on Monday and still wouldnt hand over the drugs....but she would get another co-pay

So this is what she just told me to take

advil cold and sinus 4 x' a day

allegra 2 x's a day

prednisone as directed

Flonase 4 x's a day

Saline spray as much as I can

DUDE!!! I know what will fix this, I have had about 300 sinus infections and I need sinus surgery for it. What the hell!  

Sorry, I just cant take this crap anymore, I want to feel better 

Re: Mf-er just give me the antibiotics!!!!

  • my dr is the SAME way. he's not a fan of giving rx's and i cannot take otc medicine. it dialates my eyes REALLY badly so i understand. when i have a sinus infection. i go to the minute clinic and get my augmentin or z pack everytime
  • I totally understand how you feel. I really think they just like to see the $ from the co-pay and the $ from the insurance company sometimes.

    I have a bulging disc in my back. My general doc is who I first saw for it & I ended up using the chiro out of their office. SO why is it that I can't just call and say YEP I threw my back out, call me in something. Now, if I'm doing that once a month, twice every 6 months, if you're writing me pain killer scripts like I wright my food shopping list I get it BUT I haven't so much as peeped about my back in 3 years and I know if I tried to call today for something they'd make me come in. Really?? YOU KNOW I HAVE A BAD BACK. You can't SEE my pain. But you can gladly make me schlep in there, stand there flinching while you go "yep, you're in pain", write me a script, make me drive to CVS, wait for the script and then go home. WHAT IS THE POINT OF ALL THAT other than for you to make $$$$ off me????

    IMO, the entire health care system is a racquet.

    I am going to have to do this tomorrow, which will piss me off because I just saw a Dr on Monday but seriously it isnt like I am asking for pain killers and I have chronic sinus issues, I know the deal. Man, am I cranky today!

    I could understand if I hadnt seen the Dr in months but I saw her The 1st week of Jan. with a sinus infection and then again on Monday.....she told me to call her if I didnt feel better. I dont have all the time in the world to hang out in their office with my 2 kids hoping no one gives them anything that they will then give back to me, just give me the fuking drugs!!!!! before I go all Terms of Endearment on you!

  • i get really cranky with my dr about it and I LOVE my dr. and normally i am all for trying to get rid of things WITHOUT r/x but seriously when i NEED them and NOTHING is working FIX IT
  • You're in Point, right?  Switch doctors!!!  Dr. Mazzocchi in the Boro, right on Beaver Dam, will not hold out on you if it's what you need.  We're fans of his - easy to get an appt (there or the Brielle office), never a long wait, and he diagnoses you, writes the scripts and tells you what else will help/you need, and you're out the door in 15 minutes flat.
