·Hello, I recently posted a message about the horror story of colonoscopy I had on Tuesday. Well, I've continued to have abdominal pain since then. I called my doctor's office this a.m. where I had to leave a message on a machine saying I had pain since the procedure. Yes they were there but too busy to answer the phones. An hour later I get a return call but not from the doctor. I was told to stop by their office to pick up paper work and go to the hospital "STAT" for bloodwork and x-ray. No body even asked me any questions before sending me to the hospital. I arrive at the hospital with the paper work where the x-ray department didn't know why I was there. They had to call the Dr.'s office. Within an hour I'm done with all the tests and return home. The x-ray department said my Doctor would call me. At 4:15 and not having heard ANYTHING I call my doctor's office once again where I have to leave another message. Someone else calls me back 30 min later asking what my problem is. I explain to her the situation and she says oh my god and looks for the test results. She finally yells to another co-worker if she's seen the results. She says, "oh, yeah, he got those earlier and everything is o.k. The girl on the phone repeats this. I reply, "Well then what am I supposed to do about the pain?" I then launch into how terrible the colonoscopy went." She replied, "they did not give you engough medications." She also asked who the doctor was." I went on to tell her that I was thinking about suing that doctor because he did not stop when I asked him to and I've had pain since then. The only response I got was the she would leave a note for my family doctor in the morning!!!!!!!!!So I have yet another day to wait! But I'm sooo mad that NO ONE bothered to call me and I bet no one will call me tomorrow either. Why don't doctor's care about people? I thought that's why they got into medicine.Here I've been in pain and since the results are o.k. they think I'm o.k. - that my pain doesn't exist. I have trouble walking, sitting and moving around. My pain does exist. I did not have this much prior to the procedure. I'm so tired of the #### doctor's dish out. I want to yell, "I'm mad all hell and I'm not going to take it any more!" Thanks for letting me vent.Birdie
