I had a disturbing appointment with a local pain management specialist and I wanted to post a warning for you guys to avoid this man’s practice. He also said he was running for public office as well, so I want to share my experience for that reason as well.

I understand what you’re saying, because right now? I’m angry about it. I’m acting in emotionally charged ways. It’s hard to believe people on the internet who are telling stories of being mistreated when they say that they had nothing to do with it. I just want to make it clear that I was terrified of being there, I was already mistreated in his practice and was hoping that it was just that one woman. I was visibly anxious, an employee commented on it saying “calm down it’s okay! you’d give coffee anxiety!” She was very kind. I was shrinking into myself every time he got upset with me for not answering properly. I was…small. I looked and acted small. I looked weak. I was not combative, because I need these medications just to be able to get around my home.

You do not know what happened in that room and it is unfair of you to make assumptions about my behavior, especially because I don’t think you actually read what I wrote. I can upload to Imgur the screenshots I took of all of the reviews that validated for me that it was not me who was the problem. I blamed myself during and for hours and hours the rest of the day. Now I’m angry. That’s what you’re seeing. Standing up for yourself does NOT make you an asshole and I don’t appreciate you validating the intrusive thoughts I have about who is to blame here.
