This was my first visit. I have hope for what Dr.Ahmad has planned for the improvement of my health. |
|
20/07/2022 |
Doctor walked in and mentioned that I had refused to show how I walk for the nurse/PA. When I mentioned this was not true there was not an ounce of questioning, just an abrupt, "can you walk for me?". I did, without the cane. Doctor was curt and dismissive. When I told the Doctor this was a second meeting with a neurosurgeon, the first being out of network, He scowled. His disdain for what the previous doctor said was apparent.. |

I just did not feel he Cared about my pain, just because it was a decent day. Today is a painful day. He didn't seem to care about me as a person. I felt I was just a number. I wanted surgery because I'm tired of pain. Injections with PM only help so much. Oh well. |
