I'm wealthy and rich in the ways of big medicine. Doctors get kick backs for every prescription they sell. Most doctors will try and feed you drugs that you don't need. Now that's given since they money doing it. If you have high blood pressure causing you migraines most doctors will give you a blood pressure that knocks it down slighty, yet you still get hit by spikes causing migraines. Next these SOBing doctors sell you on a pain killer, then you suffer depression and need pills for that. After gaining weight from depression you'll need a diet pill, again Phen-fen or whatever is new on the market that drug companies representives are pushing. This is a bull crap industry from top to bottom hell bent on wrecking the American population! Doctors don't know anything more then you do, and only have a head start on you. You'll need to play catchup, sooner or later you'll see you're doctor for the empty headed robot he stands for. Just another fine mess the legal system his sunk American up to it's neck in.

Hello. Thanks so much for your help. I have tried getting in touch with the Doctor himself, but of course I cannot get past the front desk/receptionist. The insurance company also told me to let them handle the complaint (I filed an official complaint which will be served to them with all the details of our conversation)and they are trying to help me find another doctor. My sister bought me one of those balls to stretch on, and I'm doing it...But how sad that most of the moves, I cannot do, it is so painful in my lower back, down my hip and leg, and my ankle, all on the right side. It's like each time i try, I hurt myself worse. But I was readin about pilates, and it's certainly something I will try! Thanks so much. I'm also thinking yoga...

It sounds as if the problem you had is with the receptionist and if he was so nice to you the first time, there would be no reason for him to have someone call you the next day and tell you to go to a gym when he already knew that you couldn't due to the pain. The doctor needs to be informed at how badly that the receptionist treated you. As for the wait with no one else there, the doctor himself may have been called to the hospital (the have a separate door for them) or was on the phone. I've had it happen to me many times and but my doctor had a good staff whom informed of this fact. Also the another fact is he had the bloodwork done to rule out everything but the medication for your weightloss so he was probably hoping that it would come back normal. So that he can focus on the medication and ways for you to lose weight while staying on it. I am not a doctor, but I recommend Pilates. Especially the slow and easy ones, it works helps a whole lot with anxiety (I suffer from that as well but I am not on any medications.) Start with the beginners program and work your way up from there. (the DVD I have shows all three and it only cost $10.) Good Luck!
