[quote=Anonymous]People keep blaming private insurance/hospitals/doctors but care at government-run is no better.  I've spent years trying to get help through tricare (military) and its been a nightmare.  Scans/tests are showing concerns and doctors are dismissive or refer me to other doctorsand  it takes months to get an appointment and then at least  3-6 months to get follow-ups so it takes years to get any help.

What I want - doctors to listen, run tests that target the concerns, and once the tests show the concerns, help get the care I need to get better.  Is that really asking so much?

I want doctors to stop assuming I am drug-seeking when I am one of the most medication-resistant people around.  The strongest drug I've taken is Ibprophen which has ruined my kidneys due to chronic pain.  I've never so much as as taken a pain killer on purpose as doctors just assume if you do you are lying and drug seeking.  So, here I suffer.  I am happy to do drug tests (and doctors slip them in my urine's thinking I don't know but the lab tells me and asks why I'm doing it when they've all been negative but I don't care and will keep doing them).[/quote]
