evaluating me from behind a curtain? For real?
Definitely emphasize this, hard. How can a doctor determine a diagnosis, much less a treatment, if he doesn't even make the effort to evaluate the patient properly?

I think it's imperative to be upfront that you were not in fact looking for Dilaudid or other narcotics -- you were attempting to follow a regimen that specifically avoids them as prescribed by a specialist. I mean, you shouldn't get flagged as a possible drug-abuser faking for meds, but rather that you are seeking proper treatment for a complicated condition, and the doctor didn't even pause to consider what you were attempting to communicate.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
ita, I think all of the advice you've gotten on the letter is very good, and I definitely hope you send it and copy everyone you can think of on it. That Doctor sucks ass, in a huge way.

If you were a *new US citizen* and someone handed you a brochure about being an american and a US citizen, would you find the president's picture on the brochure to be patriotic or irritating? eta: I could change the president's picture to a flag or something
