ok here is the situation i have faced recently
im in the office with the study coordinator and i know that it is time to come into the hospital for a "tune-up".
for the past year and a half i have participated in 5 studies which brings me to the clinic to see the study coordinator at least once a month, for essentially a full cf clinic visit.
now after the docs confirm that i need a hospital admission which i knew before even coming to the clinic because i know my body, the clinical nurse comes in and scolds me because its been over 1.5 years since my last regular cf clinic visit.
this really pisses me off because im 30 years old and i know my body better than anyone an tell me what is going on with my body. also im getting everything i need from the study visits minus the nutritionist and the social worker. neither of which i need to talk to. im at the highest weight i have ever been and i have a government job as a correctional officer that provides me with wonderful benefits at the time.
i am very involved in my care. when the docs tell me test results i dont want to hear they are all good. i want printouts with actual numbers because i want to see the numbers based on how i feel.
i feel that if i could walk into a given place and order up what i need at the time why would i need the docs at all?
i would like this test that test these drugs picc placement and let me get on my way and leave me alone.
i know my body
you know test results and a generic way to treat those results
give me what i want and when i want it and let me live my life as i see fit
anyone else feel like this
