• waiting for answers

    Well, I still don’t have answers but have begun calling the hospital where they still won’t tell me what’s going on. I was told that I am on some sort of wait list, something after 6 months after an MRI I find unacceptable.

    The doctor that looked at me 7 months ago was soo unprofessional I want nothing to do with him. I will refer to him as dr. hard on. Period. He was right to order the MRI but nothing else. He was soo unprofessional I didn’t hear the last minutes I was in the same room as him in the hospital. I just wanted to get the hell out of there.

    I figured they would get back to me after 6 months of silence BUT no; Haukeland hospital is a joke as is the ER there. It ain’t no Harborview medical center that’s for sure. I had soo much pain over the weekend but told my husband that I didn’t want to go to the worthless ER where they guess instead of diagnose you with the ailment you have. Last time I checked that’s also MALPRACTICE.

    Yeah, so I will continue to call the so-called experts in Bergen this week & see when I get to talk to the chief of gastro???? Which is anyone’s guess at this point. I told the receptionist that IF I didn’t get answers soon I would contact an attorney, sad BUT true. MALPRACTICE is still malpractice. They need to be held accountable because they way they’re behaving they’re asking for a complaint & lawsuit.

    Oh & we’re under a new lockdown for the next 4 weeks. JOY. For the record I never kid around when it’s my health. Neither should you, if someone is unprofessional they NEED to be ACCOUNTABLE. Doctors are not Gods.

  • Dead ends

    Here I am a year later with the same pain on my left side with no answers in sight. I saw a Ob/gyn this week who Rushed me through my appointment, it lasted 8 minutes & I left without any answers. I called my regular GP & asked if they had seen my MRI I had this Spring & I could tell from the nurse who took the phone that they didn’t even know I had the scan.

    I should’ve had my answers in the Spring of this year, Before the shutdown. Here I am sitting wondering what the hell is going on with my GP & the Ob/gyn who I had to see my doctor to get a referral to see. Something I found ridiculous, it’s like the universal healthcare system in Norway is just called pass the buck, to the next doctor or I don’t get clear answers from anyone.

    If they think it’s acceptable to treat me like an imbecile because I have a slight mental illness they are sorely mistaken. That’s called MALPRACTICE & it’s unethical it also goes against the oath they take as doctors. TO FIRST DO KNOW HARM. If I don’t hear anything from the rushed Ob/gyn in a few weeks I am going to get legal help, because this is becoming unacceptable. The pain has NEVER been in my head & it has been with me since before we went to Brussels last year.

    Now, I also have lethargy that makes it hard for me to do stuff because I become tired much faster than I used to. That’s not coicidence it’s part of whatever is wrong me & I had a fever when I had my last period & couldn’t get off the couch for 3 days. Something is wrong. I am also not hypochondriac & have never been diagnosed with the disorder. It’s time the medical establishment grew a fawkin backbone. As I have lost all faith in the system where you should get an answer within 4 months, BULL****!

    Stay tuned. Maybe I will have some kind of answer next time I go to type.

  • silver lining

    The bus strike is OVER after 10 days of being cooped up at home I am relieved. It was great to be able to go to into town on a moments notice but the bus strike ruined that ability. So, around 12pm today they’re supposed to start running again with delays but they will be running again!!

    The dog will have to get used to his naps by himself on the couch again as my husband & I will be out of the house starting Monday morning. I have a promising doctors appointment after a year of being in pain, I may Finally get some answers?? Fingers crossed on this one.

    I am also back to working on my book again, slowly but it’s happening. I got my haircut yesterday & I feel Great. I also have to say that it makes a huge difference after not cutting it since July. I have to say that I waited too long to get it cut, will not do it again.

    I love my wifi speaker in the living room, it’s great to play my mixes from Spotify on it without having to put on the radio. I can’t believe it took me this long to figure that out. I also don’t talk to it but just put on my Spotify from my phone. Speaking of phone that will have to be another entry, but I know I need to upgrade my old phone.

    So, as you see there’s a silver lining even to the bus strike & they have Finally lowered the COVID 19 restrictions locally. Yay. Returning to some sort of normal whatever that is??
