Sorry you had to go through all that, UT. I went from having a great doctor at University Hospital in Denver - I drove 60 miles to see him, I liked him so much. I could talk to him personally because he gave me the number to call when he'd be available for phone consults with his patients. He listened to his voice mail over the weekend and would even call in a prescription for you on a Sunday. Then my insurance changed and I had to use a clinic in Colorado Springs. They had a big ol' staff and the male nurse who worked there was assigned the task of never allowing the patient to see or speak with the doctor. Everything was voice mail. Everytime I had to get a prescription refilled, I usually went through something like you did. It all went back to a male nurse who was too lazy to call scripts in or check faxes. Once he told me that my doctor had said I should just go without one of my meds until my next visit. "Have you been taking you meds?" the doc asked when I saw him next. "All except the one Mr. X told me you said to do without," I replied. The doctor's face turned an angry hue. "Excuse me. I need to go have a word with Mr. X." A few minutes later I could hear old X getting raked over the coals out in the hallway.
Now I have to find a new doctor in my new town. I don't expect to find one like the first, but I sure hope I can find an outfit that is a little less incompetant and a bit more caring than that clinic.
Let us know if your doctor ever replies. Bet he won't.
