Dear Dr. Doom,
Quite simply, YOU SUCK. I went to you with an exhaustive list of issues and you told me my symptoms were "too vague." You did almost nothing for my trick ankle, which was the source of great pain. Your stupid tape fell off really quickly and then your office didn't give a rat's ass because you were going to a conference. Needless to say, when I canceled that follow-up appointment, I was firing you. Because you suck.
Today, I went to see Dr. Randy Gubler. HE IS A GOOD FOOT DOCTOR AND I WON'T MAKE UP ANY MEAN NAMES ABOUT HIM. You see, he acknowledged that I sprained my ankle in the shower last week. He LISTENED to my vast list of symptoms and figured out, DUE TO HIS MEDICAL AWESOMENESS, that these things are related and probably have something to do with my fibro. He wasn't concerned with selling me shit off his website.
Instead, he wrapped up my foot with something that can't get wet, so my wounded right foot can heal. When that is done, I get to go back and have needles poke me and send shocks into my legs so we can determine if there is any sort of neuropathy. You never even said that word sprain, let alone considered my other problems. Why? Say it again, YOU SUCK. DR. GUBLER DOES NOT SUCK. HE ROCKS. HE IS GOING TO FIX MY DAMN FEET.
Dr. Doom, I do not hate you as much as Samantha Harris, but that is simply because we only interacted once. But I do not like you. Not one little bit. Perhaps you should not brush off your patient's concerns because you can't fit them into a snug little box on your sheet. Oh, and FIX THE FREAKING TYPO ON YOUR INTAKE FORM. I don't have Ebstein Barr. And for some of us, EPSTEIN BARR isn't "just mono." It is the demon that keeps us from functioning like a normal person because it is reactivated, jackass. Don't act like I don't know what i'm talking about. I've been to way too many shitty doctors to not be able to get my point across at this stage. Plus, people pay me to make points all freaking day. I'm sort of trained for this type of thing, I suppose.
In conclusion, all of the doctors near my house generally suck and you are one of them. If anyone needs an outstanding podiatrist in Las Vegas, call Dr. Randy Gubler. He's near Summerlin Hospital and he doesn't suck like Dr. Doom. (As usual, due to the litigious nature of the average bear, I will not name Dr. Doom in this forum. Something about defamation keeps me from doing it. Plus, I can't remember his name since I've been calling him Dr. Doom for two days.)
With hate and disdain (and a virtual kick to the curb as soon as my foot is healed),
Danielle
The defeat of Dr. Doom being too reminiscent of a Fantastic Four comic aside I'm happy to know you'll now be getting proper attention to the feetsies. Where does this leave the score at?
