Who do I need to contact at my medical center if my doctor isn’t helping me feel better?

I’ve been sick for about a month and a half with symptoms of bronchitis. I have seen my doctor twice and she put me on antibiotics and cough meds and sinus meds all month. It’s not working. I have called her nurse several times and all she says is to come back in…..and what take more of the money I don’t have and send me away sick again? I am fed up and sicker than I dog….an suggestions on what to do at this point? I want to hear more than just "change doctors". I know that sometimes some antibiotics don’t work for everyone but I don’t have the patience

Contact the customer service department., Hope you feel better soon!!!!

  3. You need to change doctors. It sounds to me like she is milking your pocket book. That is the problem with allopathic doctors they don’t want to admitt that they don’t know what is wrong with you so they decide to milk you before you leave.

  4. Its time to ask for a referral to a specialist– probably an Ear, Nose and Thoat doc.

    Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

  5. why dont u just talk to a pharmisist but the best thing to do is go back to see this doctor and tell her that the antibotics are not working for u and if she does nothing than change doctors.

  6. You should tell your doctor how you feel about the care the she is providing.

  7. Find patience and go see another doctor for a second opinion.

    Failing that… don’t moan about being ill!!

  9. go to an ear, nose, and throat specialist and get a shot in the butt. and never go see that doctor again!

    if she gave you a Z-Pak, next time you EVER have to go to the doctor and they try to give you one always ask for something stronger b/c Z-Paks don’t work on anybody i’ve ever talked to b/c they aren’t strong enough!

    many experiences of being sick as a dog

  10. Well I suggest you go to another clince or hosiptal and tell them about you problems and the things they gave you last time that didnt work so they wont try it. Or call customer service and tell them you went to your doctor two times and they didnt help you. You still feel the same and if they could contact a hospital or docotor that they think that they could help you

    I hope you feel better!

  11. well, if insurance covers it, just go to the ER…in the military, that’s what we usually do if we want results or an answer fast…but our medical is free, so i don’t know if that would help you or not. good luck feeling better. all in all, you probably will have to change doctors, or ask to see the nurse that is on call instead. sometimes they are very helpful, and can prescribe medication. ;-)

  12. I had Bronchitis for 3 months once.
    If it’s viral or fungal, antibiotics won’t help. Treat the symptoms.
    COUGH – Yuo want to cough some, to get the gunk out. But if it’s making you sore or you can’t sleep, ask the dr to call in a Rx for "Tessalon Pearls" or the generic.
    TO GET THE GUNK OUT – "Mucinex" is more potent that the "tussin" syrups. No Rx needed.
    ALLERGY CAUSED – Take antihistamines 24/7. "Lortidane" won’t usually make you sleepy, take a 12hr for the day and a "Benedryl-type" at night to help you sleep.
    FUNGAL – Ask the dr for some "Diflucan"
    Get to a good health/herb store like General Nutrition Center (GNC) for PRO-biotics and Immune-Support
    Be sure to tell your pharmacist EVERYTHING you take, Rx, over-the-counter herbal, even herb teas/drinks if you take alot of them.

    in response to your disgusting rant over in the gay section

    Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law.
    I have learned a great deal from you, and I try to share that knowledge
    with as many people as I can.
    I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other specific
    Biblical laws and how to follow them.

    a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a
    pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors.
    They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

    b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in
    Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price
    for her?

    c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her
    period of menstrual uncleanness (Lev.15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell?
    I have tried asking, but most women take offense. If I come into contact with
    a woman who is menstruating and she doesn’t tell me until afterwards, must I
    kill her immediately or can I just beat her?

    d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female,
    provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims
    that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify?
    Why can’t I own Canadians?

    e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2
    clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill
    him myself? Also, is Sabbath on Saturday as Seventh Day Adventists
    (Christians, like us…or are they?) or is it on Sunday as Baptists and
    some other faiths agree? I am beset by not knowing who to kill and when
    to kill them…please clarify this for me.

    f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination
    (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality (Lev. 18:22).
    I don’t agree. I’m also confused about how homosexuality can be an abomination
    when Jonathan and David were married in the Bible (1 Samuel 18:1, 3 – 4).
    Here, I’ll quote it – "And it came to pass, when he had made an end of
    speaking unto Saul that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David
    and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. Then Jonathan and David made a
    covenant, because he loved him as his own soul. And Jonathan stripped himself
    of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even
    to his sword and to his bow and to his girdle." and also Ruth’s relationship
    with Naomi is suspect, (Ruth 1:16-17) "And Ruth said to Naomi, Entreat me not
    to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest,
    I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people,
    and thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried:
    the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part three and me.
    " Can you settle this?

    g) Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a
    defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my
    vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

    h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around
    their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27 and even
    though 1st Cor. 11:4-6 says that it is a shame upon a man to have long hair.
    How should they die?

    i) I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me
    unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves? Also, since it is
    strictly forbidden to "eat neither fat nor blood" in Lev. 3:17 & Lev. 19:26,
    does that mean that I must be a vegetarian and must I smite those who choose
    to eat meat?

    j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different
    crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two
    different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse
    and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of
    getting the whole town together to stone them (Lev.24:10-16)? Couldn’t we just
    burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep
    with their in-laws (Lev. 20:14)?

    k) I know that it is an abomination for a man to wear a woman’s clothes or a
    woman to wear a man’s (Deut. 22:5), so does that mean that since my wife
    borrowed my boxers once, she’s going to hell?

    l) An unbeliever sent me an email telling me that God is an ABORTIONIST? It
    says, "In Num. 5:11-31, God commands a husband to get an abortion for his wife
    if he suspects she has been impregnated by another man. A priest is to make her
    drink a potion and tell her, "If any man other than your husband has had
    intercourse with you, may the LORD make an example of you . . . by bringing
    upon you miscarriage and untimely birth." To deliberately cause a miscarriage
    is to perform an abortion. And who brings about this miscarriage? Who performs
    this abortion? It is the LORD who does so. God is an abortionist. In Ex. 21:22-25,
    God tells us what to do if a man who is fighting knocks against a pregnant woman.
    If the woman dies, the principle of "life for life" is invoked and the man
    responsible for her death must be killed. If she lives but has a miscarriage,
    then the death of the fetus is to be compensated for by the payment of a fine,
    as demanded by the woman’s husband. Thus, God has revealed the status of the
    unborn fetus: it is not an independent, full-fledged human life, whose
    destruction amounts to murder. It is a thing owned by the woman’s husband, a
    thing whose loss, like that of any other thing, may be compensated for with
    money." How can this be true?

    I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can
    help. Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and
    unchanging and also for the reassurance that the Bible is infallible.
