LIGHT AT THE END OF A TUNNEL:
=======================
=======================
Today we commence the last week in March.
A week I see a glimmer of hope.
These past six weeks have been pure hell.
I feel at last I can cope.
You see a doctor refused me
My Epilepsy medication.
Said "I had not been diagnosed".
Much to my consternation.
I have been treated for the illness,
For thirty two years no less.
It has always "Lived" with me.
And not the other way round I confess.
Well I was four weeks without any medication,
Body shaking and many more seizures occurred.
I phoned the doctor's surgery.
For a visit....but they didn't want me to be heard.
I WAS rude to the receptionist,
The doctors reported me to "Primary Care".
I was allocated to another doctor some way away.
As a punishment I declare.
This doctor turned out to be a "Guardian Angel".
Who took time to read my notes.
Saw I was indeed diagnosed many years ago,
And reinstated my medication I quote.
He said I should not have endured
Such terrible treatment by my other surgery.
Is coming out today to visit me.
Giving me shots for arthitic shoulders so I will be pain free..
So on this sunny Monday morning,
A glimmer of light I see.
I stared adversary face to face with dignity,
And today feel a happier more confident me.

What a terrible ordeal for you and absolutely unnecessary. I'm glad they finally are doing right. The doctor that wouldn't treat you should be punished somehow. (In my opinion)May your life be filled with sunshine and pain free from now on. God bless.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't pleasant but I learned alot from it. I am lodging a complaint against that doctor and surgery.
DeleteYvonne.
He was indeed your guardian angel!
ReplyDeleteYes Alex there are some kind people around.
DeleteYvonne.
You should be able to report that terrible, unfeeling doctor. I wonder how many other patients are suffering in his care, but I'm glad you've found a good one.
ReplyDeleteI am lodging a complaint against that doctor and surgery, How many people who have worse than Epilepsy are suffering at his hands?????
DeleteYvonne.
That is wonderful news! What a terrible doctor to keep the medicine from you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Diane for your lovely comment, much appreciated.
DeleteYvonne.
I so hope the medication helps, Yvonne. A glimmer of light is great, and now let's get a really bright flash of it as you heal.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lee, lovely to hear from you. Comment much appreciated.
DeleteYvonne.
Glad you found a good doctor who will listen and care. Indeed I all is on the upswing for you
ReplyDeleteThanks for your support Joanne.
DeleteYvonne.
Sorry you had to go through that, Yvonne, but I'm very happy about the outcome. Sounds like you've got a doctor that's a keeper.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra, it wwas tough times but I learned alot from it.
DeleteYvonne.
Cyberhugs and cheers to you, dear Yvonne! That awful physician should not be allowed to practice and I'm so glad you took the initiative to go elsewhere. As a fellow epileptic, I know the very last thing we need is dispassion. Hang in there and keep writing those delightful poems ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt helps that a fellow Epiletic has written. Thanks for your support.
DeleteYvonne.
Good you found a good one, some Doctors should be pitched in the sea, as they surely suck.
ReplyDeleteI agree Pat......and thanks for your support.
DeleteYvonne.
So sorry to hear of your ordeal, Yvonne but great that you are now receiving the right treatment. Light at the end of the tunnel indeed. Best wishes to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzanne for your support. Our great "NHS" HERE IN bOURNEMOUTH ISN'T SO GREAT/
DeleteYvonne.
Thank goodness for that angelic doctor!
ReplyDeleteThank you Chrys, your support is appreciated.
DeleteYvonne.
Perhaps this is a sign of better times ahead. Wishing you the best.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed Martin, One lives in hope,
DeleteYvonne.
Most deplorable for a doctor to react in a negative and unprofessional way. Glad there are the human ones in the crowd who understand. Just horrible to be in pain!

I quite agree Hank, I am taking out a complaint against the doctors so nowone else has to suffer what I did.
