What would you like me to do?

Normal.

As normal as I get, anyway.
My BP has been normal and fine and dandy since my last post.
I got an email from the person who's the head of 'quality assurance' at Providence.
She told me they were conducting their investigation and gave me a date, as in, "I will contact you by this date."

We'll see.

In closing, she said, " I would very much appreciate you letting me know what you would like to see as resolution."

I refrained from smarting off or being mean.
She's just doing her job.

I sent this to her...

This did not start in the ER, it started when my doctor failed to listen to me and prescribed blood pressure medication that I did not need. I had misgivings. I asked her if stopping the heartburn medication might help. She dismissed me.

When the medication made things worse, she prescribed another and another and another. I did see her just before the flurry of prescriptions, but not after or during this craziness. 

NO ONE HAS CALLED TO CHECK ON ME.
In three weeks.

No one cared enough to see if I was okay.

If I weren't smart about paying attention to how I feel, I would have kept taking the stuff that was causing me harm.

When I called my regular clinic for help after the first ER visit,  they were dismissive, too.

"Well, the ER said your blood pressure was stable."

"And you consider 155/88 an acceptable reading?"

"Please hold."

I've been through an utterly horrendous experience over the last month or so and no one has been willing to help me.

So I've handled it myself.
I stopped taking the heartburn medication AND all the blood pressure pills.
My blood pressure has been in a normal range since then.

Gee, it's almost like those heartburn drugs that I'm no longer taking had something to do with the high blood pressure.

Why didn't I think of that?

Oh yeah. Guess I did.

I've written about what happened during my rounds of office visits if you know someone I should send it to.

Or is that your department, too?

Makes me weary to contemplate.

If I weren't required to use Providence because of my insurance, I would be shopping for a new provider.  All of the things that have happened are just inexcusable.

A quote from your last email... " I would very much appreciate you letting me know what you would like to see as resolution. "

 If you were in my position, what would you like to see happen?

I am waiting to see what conclusions are reached from their investigation. I'm also waiting to see what my ER bills look like. I have no problem arguing about the charges and unnecessary padding of the bill, but that's a separate issue. I am angry still, and don't plan to let it go.
