elucrehAND THEN THEY SENT ME HOME WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING.
Seriously.
So mad I could spit.
I missed a class I really can't afford to miss, took time off work, dealt with five insane phone calls yesterday as they tried to get some kind of idea what the hell they were doing (at which they clearly failed), waited FOUR HOURS to be taken into the procedure room, and was told:
Oh. Right. You had incorrect information on preparing for this test, which it was our job to inform you about. We can't do it on you.
NOT ONLY that--which would have been plenty--the doctor was ill-informed and patronizing. His information was based on a disease he still called sprew, which had no connection to the nervous system. His information on the accuracy of the blood test was supremely out of date. He told me it was placebo effect. (Hello? Like we haven't tried three other methods, each of them FAR MORE likely to have a placebo effect, if that was all it was.) He was all, you're depressed because you're stressed. This leads to sleep loss which leads to IBS. Decrease the stress in your life and you'll be fine!
My mother suggested we egg his office.
Anybody want to come to the grocery store with me?
