This is why I hate the doctor

[Brad]

I go in today because of my sleeping problems and I leave to messed up to drive. I have no idea exactly how much blood they took from me today for testing, but it was more than enough!

The nurse comes in after I finish up with the doc and tells me "We are going to have some fun". I knew they needed some blood, and I was thinking it would be a small vile like most times.

She counts out four large ones, I estimate they were the size of 6 or 7 smaller viles that my old doctor's office used. She says she only has to stick me once but halfway through the 3rd vile the blood stops coming, and my arm is soild purple. She sticks me in my other arm and gets the rest, but by this time I am light headed, my vision is blacked over, and I'm sweating like I just ran a three mile race. I couldn't even drive myself home, lucky for me someone came with me else I would have been stuck there for awhile.

I do like my new doctor though, he listens to me while my old one treated me more or less like a stupid teenager.

My new doctor is having me sent in for abdominal scans next thursday to find out what exactly is going on to cause my acid reflux. He's doing blood testing aswell, we are basicly looking into the cause of this weight loss I'm having.

He also gave me 'sleeping pills', which I just found out are antidepressants. Do they normally give this stuff to people that have sleeping problems?

Anyway I'm just happy to be seeing someone that gives a damn about the people he cares for, he's the best doctor in town imho.
