At war like with ms care providers: Dr nurses assistants pa etc..

How is everybody doing? shelter in place anyone? May be in our near future? France, Italy ,Spain ! is us. Got my blood work today, they came to do it in my home. Being reimbursed by medicare: I am 90% sure of that. Trying to save my spring pictures in creative clouds. It is pleasurable but frustrating. It takes to long,,,I think, it;s because I have too many pictures in that file. Why do I feel I am in constant battle with the ms department in nyp hospital that treats me for ms?

We are all in unprecedented times, Hidden and I am pleased that you are finding ways to keep yourself busy during your staycation. I am quilting and sewing to pass my time away. It is sometimes frustrating when interacting with your medical team, but you should be assured that they have your best interests at hand. Keep Smiling, always, my friend

You should let you dr know what your frustrations are with them. one of two things can happen things will change or stay the same.

You have to speak up and advocate for yourself because no one else will

They don't let me talk directly to the doctor. Its all done by proxy:pa nurses assistants etc...I also know the dr sets it that way. It's her choice, they just follow her orders. It stinks!

[rjoneslaw in reply to Hidden]

wow I never had a dr not talk directly to

do you feel you want to change dr because of this?

are you happy with this dr?

[Hidden in reply to rjoneslaw]

I know. I have thinking about it for a long time. Right now, I am stuck with this one..until covid-19 stay-at-home/ emergency is lifted both in nyc as well as ny state.It is one humiliation after another.
