Since February, I have been in significant pain from an ovarian cyst caused by endometriosis. I have been trying to get medical intervention, but my efforts have yielded little fruit. I have been to the emergency department twice and have seen four different providers. And nothing has been done to get rid of my cyst, which continues to grow.
In desperation, I reached out to a clinic almost 400 miles away. The clinic has been fabulous. They are prompt in their communications and are very organized. My visit with the doctor is not scheduled until mid-August.
Today, I had a SEVERE pain attack from my ovarian cyst. I was shaking uncontrollably. Despite taking over-the-counter medicine for pain, the pain refused to let up. In my distress, I reached out to the clinic and explained I cannot wait to see the doctor. I am in so much pain.
A nurse has reached out to the doctor and is trying to get me a sooner appointment. She will let me know if I am able to see the physician earlier than my scheduled appointment.
I was left dumb-founded. After all this time, someone actually cares. Someone is trying to do something for me to help get this ovarian cyst resolved before it becomes a medical emergency. I pray I am able to get a sooner appointment, but if I can not, what a blessing it has been to find a doctor’s office with compassion.
