GPS NOT GIVING ME A HEALTH PLAN

[nowhereman]

HI.im wondering if anybody else has had a similar problem getting a health plan done by a brisbane general practitioner?? Its so i can see a psychologist bulked billed.ive been begging brisbane doctors to do it for me for ages and had really bad responses. Like..maybe next time .or .why do you want that for.or yes yes but not now.and its never done. No wonder so many people give up on practitioners. Very lame. Max

Another set back....that same dr calls me from different numbers.some from mobile. And starts argueing with me.i ring the practice to speak with its manager and the receptionists put me through to HIM instead.wich leads to another arguement. Hell.

Hey Max

At the risk of asking a dumb question, why does your doc argue with you? You have a good heart and are a caring person as well. When I try to get through to someone in management of anything I am always screened. It can be a pain when we are only trying to have our say

kind thoughts for you Max

Hi pual.in answer to your question. I have always had a bad time with doctors.nurses.and psychologists etc since my wrong diagnosis in the 70s. It was said to be Catatonic schizophrenia. But they kept changing the diagnosis.many times.ptsd. border line personality disorder. Whatever they throw at me i make it go away.some how.eventually.even as a tiny kid.leukemia. but they couldnt find it.i just beat three hospitals specialists with a rare lung infection diagnosis. They treated me for.i didnt respond.they cant find it now.i know .they dont. Ive been discriminated against by the medical people alot because of my previous psychiatric history.they have made an enemy . Max

Hey Max

I dont blame you after reading the numerous changing of diagnosis...I have have been 'tagged' with so many labels I find it amusing now. I have long term depression and residual anxiety from having acute anxiety but if I went out tomorrow and went for a new diagnosis I am convinced that there would be several new labels they could pin on me

I hear you loud and clear Max. I just dont think the 'experts' have advanced too much when I first started getting serious panic/anxiety in 1983.

I respect where you are coming from

Thanks Paul. . Im not even sure ill go into see my Gp tomorrow because he broke my trust and thats so important to.me.i dont get much anxiety anymore. I got sick of it so i acted like a wild animal.severe anxiety...i ran hard.up a hill during it. I found eventualy i could reverse it. Now it rarely happens. Max

[blondguy]

Hey Max, you are spot on with trust...if I am getting stuffed around by a GP or a psych I wont waste my time either

Glad you are here Max...you have great strength. Paul

[nowhereman]

Thanks again. I wish australia had a version of MARTIN LUTHER KING in the form of an ambasador to speak out about drescrimination towards mental illness and its sufferers wont be tolerated. Lol .but id want him to stick around abit longer. Max

Hey Max...

this thread you have created seems to be a great one to keep posting on instead of creating multiple threads.

How about we stay on this one instead of making new threads? which only makes it harder to respond to you with the respect you are entitled to

We are here for you Max....this is a great thread...I hope you can keep using this one....:-)

Nowhereman, mate sorry you have been given the run around massive. It is simply not good enough and you deserve better.

Apologies if you have said this but have you got a reply from the ombudsman as yet? When i have issues with an area I always find out now if they have an ombudsman sitting over the top and it so, make a complaint to them. Have had great success doing this.

If you have not yet received a reply, get onto them and see how they are going.

Mate you are clearly tough as...much respect.

Mark.

Hi Mark.i see the ombudsman on early january.that dr was calling me from multiple numbers.texting me.and sending emails alot.ive spoken with police. And my new dr may report his behaviour as well. Max
