Has anyone else been completely invalidated by this group before..? Specifically NP Schatten maybe? completely invalidating you and arguing blood work you’re requesting? (Mind you 2/3 tests have come back abnormal).. was pushing birth control to treat symptoms but had absolutely no interest in referring me to a specialist.. and just to clarify I’m not against using birth control to minimize symptoms.. but I have a family history and all the symptoms so could we stop with the invalidation and give me the referral and I’ll come up with a treatment plan with the specialist.. not the NP…? To add I’m paying out of pocket for all of this. I have NEVER sought out pain meds to manage my pain. I have gone to the hospital for it before to make sure I wasn’t dying?? But again not asking for pain management. I use THC and if I absolutely have to I’ll use ibuprofen or Tylenol but I try not to because my liver appreciates it.
Long story short.. does anyone else have a similar experience with this specific location or specific physician?
I’m debating on filing a formal complaint (not court) and if others have similar experiences it may push me to be more inclined to make a stink out of this.
