"Treat the disease, you win, you lose; treat the patient, I guarantee you'll always win."-- Patch Adams, MD. #Meded #Medtwitter #StudentMedTwitter #SoMeDocs

@hsc_winnipeg I get a call from the nurse on the 7th. Asking if I want to speak with her. I say NO! I will ONLY accept a call from the head of the pain clinic! She said she will arrange that. I’m sure they’re combing thru my charts & conversations. Good! Get yourself prepared for the call!

@hsc_winnipeg Why was this not in my chart? Why was I then put on a ‘wait list’ when I asked when my next appointment was? I’m a regular there or was! I fired her! Now I have an appointment? WHY?

I’ll go into detail more on this very unfortunate situation. I’ll expose her and @hsc_winnipeg and other mentions here all over social media! Mark my word! And I follow through unlike Dr. Angela Mathieson does!

You get paid way too much NOT to care doc! An anesthesiologist & pain specialist. Leaving me bedridden for the last 6 + months. I’m now functioning after my colorectal surgeon took over managing the pain.

She (finally) after leaving me suffer for 8 + years leaving me bedridden for 6 months only gave me 1 mg of hydromorphone x 4 a day. Couldn’t function. At all. After 1 year of that she still would not increase the dose. I now need a colostomy. I suffer greatly, she didn’t care.

I was begged to come back. She agreed to my terms. I needed more follow ups. I was in the ER by ambulance many times as the pain was unbearable. I was told at the ER to call her the next day, as they were not there to treat chronic pain. I called. Couldn’t get her of course!

Never forget 🙏🇺🇸❤️

I’m on Ketamine; max oral dose. This is the first time my pain specialist has given me ‘something’ Nabilone, Gabapentin, & muscle relaxers, were given 7 yrs. ago for severe chronic pain. Nothing since. Nerve blocks, procedures, etc. all of no help.

I miss the Twitter icon. Initially I thought there was something wrong. I then learned that it was changed intentionally. I haven’t been on Twitter for a while. It doesn’t feel the same. I miss the people I was close with. 😞 U know who you are. ❤️

My granddaughters school is still in lockdown after 6 and 1/2 hours. How is this ok??? This letter was removed by the press. Winnipeg school in lockdown after not taking threat seriously. We’re sickened with worry and fear.

What a privilege it was to be loved by you Marc, and it was a pleasure and a privilege loving you.

This board’s ever changing textures, colors, and grains reminded of the breadth of human emotion we experience while on our journey through grief. Made out of the fallen mighty California redwoods, it mirrors what is a mighty love shared with all those we have lost. Board 6!

A year ago I left my apartment for the first time in years. I was developing anxiety & agoraphobia. The less I went out, the less I wanted to go out. Today I live a different lifestyle. I’d have never believed it, if someone told me that things would change so drastically!

Truth.

I wanted to let my friends and family here know that I’ve missed you all! I think of you often, and hope you’re all well. I’ve been spending my time outdoors. I’m enjoying myself, and things are going well. I feel alive again. Truly alive!

Happy Heavenly Birthday Marc. ❤️ Ive been thinking about you even more lately as I help with painting Bill’s house. I remember everything you taught me about painting. I learned so much from you. I’m forever grateful. I have a candle lit today for you.

My On-line friends…❤️

#Grief - The remaking of life comes with difficulty & challenges. It’s a rewarding one though; I had great therapy to help build this new life. The first part was, & is the hardest. I never thought I’d make it. Some days, I wished I didn’t…
