| - Went to the Presby ER tonight. Have blown out adrenal glands from a doctor giving me a huge dose of Prednisone for 14 days , not a sufficient taper and contra indicated for someone in my health. In the past 20 months I have had thyroid cancer, destroyed parathyroids , and this stupid prednisone, which led three days later to appendicitis (pred causes infections even in healthy people, so someone with no immune system isn't supposed to have it). Now, OBVIOUSLY my adrenal glands are blown out. It takes a month or so for them to come back in HEALTHY people, so trying to stick it out and let them come back. Next appointment with endo in a month. Feeling so depressed and coming undone tonight went to the ER hoping for blood work for adrenals. The attending and the other doctor were the most hateful, ill informed, cruel, nasty, surly people I have ever seen. Why even be a doctor?? No compassion, no understanding of what was happening. Every question they asked was a "blame the patient" question. I gave them concise answers. They asked if this withdrawal happened six weeks ago why hadn't I gone to my endo. I said because it takes a month or two for the adrenals to kick back in and i was trying to give them a chance. Why did you come here tonight? I said because I thought the last few days I was having moments that I thought I was feeling better, but tonight I am in a bad way. They kept on and on with all the blaming me instead of caring that someone wants to blow their brains out. It only takes a few google searches to find thousands of people who become depressed, fatigued and suicidal coming off this stuff. I wasn't in there searching for drugs, I needed help. They are stupid and uneducated about steroids too. The stupid male doctor seemed to think this is just all a "big coincidental" regular depression people get... yeah right, with fatigue, anger and irritability and insomnia thrown in..... DUH all prednisone withdrawal symptoms.
These two need to find another line of work. Hateful hateful incompetent idiots. You give hospitals and medicine a bad name. BTW the rest of the staff there was excellent. They were compassionate and kind and I give them credit. Normally I wouldn't want my name posted with these problems, as they are personal and I am a private person, but after tonight I don't even care anymore.
These two arrogant disgusting "doctors" should pray that if they ever are as sick and desperate as I was when I went into this ER that whoever treats them doesn't treat them like a piece of garbage, like they treated me.
