ok guys I had a GI appt today and he got offended when I asked for a referral for a hepatologist and changing my primary to hastings indian hospital, asked for chantix to help stop smoking said I could ask for that there and also a referral told him about my pain,blisters and he wrote me a prescription for bentyl which if he had looked at my chart i already have I do not have irritable bowel syndrome...geesh! my primary care Dr referred me to him and Ive heard nothing but horror stories about her and they all bill medicade. Oh and when looking at my chart for billing he charged medicade 70.00 dollars for all this advice hector you was rt I ran from there so fast my hair was on fire...LOL! Got to get a joyful attitude about this because Im not a quitter but a survivor and fighter and they will not beat me down for wanting the best care i can get.thanks for all your support and glad i hooked up with this forum. Love to all-

my next call will be to the transplant center in OKC,ok and I think there is also another one in Tulsa called Integris. I will not stop until Im satisfied Im recieving the care i am entitled to. This has already been a very long rode since 08 but now Im more determined I just get weary at times fighting so hard to live and they just want to knock the wind out of your sails.....argh! Guess i have the fightn Irish side of me to keep me going..LOL! thanks everyone . you all have been so encouraging.

I had a similar experience with the first GI I saw.  He told me there was no treatment for HCV.  This was about a year and a half ago!

So yeah, I ran from there, too.  

I ended up with a good GI and hepatologist...  I'm hoping you'll find yours, too!

Glad you are taking positive steps. It will be a long road but stay determined. Best of luck to you. Keep us posted.

Hi Molly, I am glad you are looking for a new doc.  Are you able to get to hepatologist at a liver transplant center as Hector recommended.  Prayers are with you.
