Anger Management Support Group

I have a lot of anger toward doctors and their tech staffs. It is eating me up inside.

I have been rather sick for a while, and they have been worse that the illnesses.

Any thoughts would be a help.

I am here to make friends and to learn and help others.

I'm mad at all of them too! But it only hurts me! No one cares if they misdiagnos you, or give you meds and treatments that hurt you as much or more than the disease. No one cares if your medical records have errors in them! Just try to get a misdiagnosis removed or corrected in those records! Suffer a brain injury so severe, it changes your personality, ruins your memory, makes you nothing more than garbage, and someone will tell you , what do you have to complain about? Your still breathing!

I'm really sorry, I'm having a really BAD HAIR DAY! It's just I know how that all goes. How unimportant we are. Quality of life is not important, nor is trust , dedication, loyalty,or love,,, not for me anyway.

See just a bad day...

I love you Reba beyond the stars!!!

Wow ! Thank you for that affirmation !!!

It sure does hit home - I was treated for 7 years for COPD when I should have been treated for a very badly damaged heart from another disease. The doctors only discovered the heart problem when I was down to 10 percent heart function. Of course - at 10 percent - there is not much they can do - other than send you home to die. They did not even offer me any meds - and said in answer to "should I go to the ER" - no I would not bother. Told me to come back next week for a different test. But called my family and told them I would not make it thru this week.

Hi HiWay,

Welcome to the group, the way I see it medical staff are only human and are not gods, they have a lot of knowledge but aren't the smartest, and they are bound to a system that is far from perfect and gobbles up lots of money. So for me i think it is a lot of hit and miss.

My dad has been has been diagnosed with parkinsons, and to see the neurologest was up to an 8 month wait, he finally got to see him after 2 months, and now it is just trying to hit and miss with the right drugs. His neurologest has said that this could have been brought on by a head injury or trauma that he got when he was younger.

Dogs should stay off the roads, reminds me of a time when my dog was about 2yrs and ran across four lanes of rush hour traffic to meet another a dog on the other side, one lucky dog she is!

Hi bunny

- - thanks for the welcome...

you are surely right - about the doctors - - my own son is a doctor - and there certainly are some great doctors.

That being said - there are some really bad doctors and staffs...

And I sure have met my more-than-share of bad staffs - - try thsi - when i had radiation treatments for 9 weeks , every day - things got so bad - that I had one of the techs removed for sexual harassment.... not so great ... and that was a woman !....what is this world coming to? I do not think that is an industry practice.

I run across highways all the time - and I sure do get chastized for that - esp. considering I walk with a cane for the last 4 years. - - but sometimes we have to get to the other side...

12 years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I was 43. I had a great surgon from UCLA, Lumpectomy, a bit of reconstruction,and was sent home that night to my children with chest tubes, bandages, and a sheet of instructions for my 19 and 10 year old sons to perform for me. I had 7 months of chemo followed by weeks of radiation. I kept telling them something was wrong, I was acting inappropriately, I was telling people off, I cried all the time, and other things. They said I just haddn't accepted my dx.

Well, later, they found that there was indeed a problem. A generalized brain injury, my whole brain, had been damaged by the chemo. OH Gee, sorry about that, but your still breathing so quit whinning!

I lost my job, I lost my home, everything I had workd so very hard for. Worse than that, I lost my friends and my family. I have 8 children, only 1 speakes to me at all. I am not the person I was, and somehow it's my fault....

I am sorry for your loss.

Here is a long slow gentle hug - for I have felt the anger you feel.

But that anger - only brings more anger trailing right after it.

Better to thank the spirits for all that you have rather than looking for what you have not.

And when ever Ido that I always find a treasure of Love trailing right behind the challenges I have met.

The doctors - think they know what they are doing - and they are smart; but they are not so smart as they think.

I do count my blessings! Everyday! You are now among them!!!!!

Several years ago I had a blood test that came back with Positive for HepC. Recently, I asked for a viral load, just to confirm that I don not in fact have it! My doctor assured me again that , yes you do...The blood test showed no virus! Now that she knows the truth, there is still nothing that can be done to remove that misdiagnosis from my medical records. That error, caused many changes in my life. Some of my kids didn't want me around their children, they didn't want to bring them to my house, or eat anything I cooked! The "What if's" outweighed reason! The risks were not worth continuing being around me...

This at some level, I understand. But why is it not possible to correct their mistake? A simple letter, stating I am not infected! An appology for so many years of fear!

I don't mean to sound angry, really I'm not anymore, just accepting of it is all I can do... Every once in a while, I can tell someone, get it off of my chest.

I don't ever really feel angry. It is beyond what I am capable of. My anger is more like hurt and sorrow and lots and lots of guilt!

I have nothing left. Nothing, they even took my dirty clothes LOL. How tacky ...
