After six-months for test, MRI's, CAT scans and needles stuck in my spine and injected with lots of stuff, today was the day I waited on, I finally get to talk to Dr. Richard E. McCarthy at Arkansas Spine Center. I woke up this morning hoping to finally get the answers to whether or not I can have the surgery. I took my pain pill at 8 a.m. knowing I would need another at 12:45 but I'd be okay cause my appointment was at 11. I got there at 11 and was put into a room to wait for Dr. McCarthy. At 12 I started to feel the need to take another pain pill but knew I had to wait till 12:45 but I thought this shouldn't take long cause it's just a consultation for the surgery. Really shouldn't take that long, right? Well 1 p.m. hit and I was still waiting and by that time I was late on taking my pill. Now the pain gets worse and the anxiety was setting in and still no Dr. I went to the front desk to ask for my records and films so I could take them to another surgeon for an opinion. Now that I have all test needed. Why is it when you goto a doctors office you feel like cattle? Don't they care about the patient and each individual needs? People with Chronic pain should not have to wait for 2 hours or more to talk to a doctor.
Lets just say from day one Arkansas Spine Center and the staff there have been less than pleasant. I won't be back and I know I'll have to start over but I guess it's for the best. It's better than being treated rudely and feeling like cattle in a slaughter barn. The lack of Professionalism at ASC has cost them a patient, Like they even care!
