ever feel discriminated against at a doctors office? Options

[lagos]

i went to see a doctor today. he seemed like he was doing everything he could think of to make me not want to be his patient. he was saying how i should see somone local for this operation that i want to have, because of all these things that can go wrong, and all the pain i would be in ,etc and how the operation might not help me at all ... when i know all too well that this place is known for taking patients with the same symptoms, in from all over the world for this surgery. his officed is used to dealing with patients from as far away as austraila. ....

then i realized that he is not in my insurace network, so that it would be a major pain in the ass to get my insurace to pay him. knowing how doctors treated me when i didnt have any insurance, im starting to think that maybe this is why he was so quick to turn me away. i used to go to my family doctor, and the 1st words out of his mouth would be "oh you dont have insurace". i always thought that they treated eveyone the same regardless of insurance, but i dont now.

Doctors suck.

If you dont have insurance, they kindly throw you out on the street. I hate doctors, hospitals, perscription drugs. They are all full of sh!t. Hang on the majority of doctors are full of it, there of course are exceptions. But I'm sure you understand what I mean.

Is this the only doctor at the hospital that can handle your opertation ? I'm sure once you get your insurance to cooperate, he'll change his tune.


Good luck man
