Insult To Injury

The number the doctor gave me to call is a f*cking fax machine.
She obviously does not pay attention. It says fax on it, too.
But she was telling me to call it to make an appointment
and underlined it and put a star next to it.
Stuff like this pisses me off.
She was saying to me "If you don't trust me, you need a new doctor."
I felt like saying, "yeah, no sh*t." But I didn't.
But it has been time for a new doctor for a long time.
She had my results from my x-ray since September. No call, nothing.
She ordered that other test (that she didn't tell me about) in April.
Almost a f*cking year ago and she was asking me if I had it done.
She would have already gotten the results from it if I had it done,
but how can I get something done if I don't know about it?

Not a great start to the day. Like I said, for days after seeing her
I just am not in a great mood. I know this is an emotional reaction,
but anyone would be pissed off if they were treated this way by their doctor.
Someone I'm supposed to trust. Who gives me a f*cking fax number.
I get that people make mistakes,
but doctors are supposed to know what they are doing.
We hold them to a higher standard than someone flipping burgers.
It's not like she just became a doctor. She isn't new to this.
I just feel insulted. Because I'm taking offense.
Because my opinion of her isn't very high.
And keeps getting lower and lower.
But it is my opinion that is affecting me, how I feel, what I think etc.
I know this, but I don't feel like I have a lot of time to waste.

My life could literally be on the line. Health is important.

So that head injury I got a couple years ago, was right on an artery.
An artery runs through the area where I was punched.
I had swelling there. Had the artery ruptured, I'd probably be dead,
but I could have had some internal bleeding.
Which could have formed a blood clot.
Which could be affecting my blood pressure.
Sure it is speculation, but it could be possible.
I want to rule out all these possibilities.
If have a blood clot, I need to know about it.

If she's accidentally giving me a fax number,
what else is she not paying attention to?

I'm not f*cking around here. I need information.
I need to know why I keep getting migraines.
I need to know why that area keeps bothering me.
I need to know why my blood pressure is so low.
I need to know if there was significant damage to that area.
I need to know if there are issues with my heart.
Any issues with my arteries are going to affect my heart
because it has to work harder when my blood pressure is low.

Anyway, I just got pissed off when I called that f*cking fax number today.
I have to try to put that behind me.
I don't need it affecting me all day today or for the rest of the week.
