Save me from this madness...

Just need to vent. I’m really fucking pissed right now and pretty sure my doctor violated the HIPAA act in every way shape and form that you possibly could. I know what that shit entails, I work in a pharmacy and have to take tests about it all the time, for fuck’s sake. It basically is a law to keep health care providers from disclosing personal patient information to anyone but said patient.

I went to the ER last Thursday, had Stephen take me at 5am because I had been having back pain and just feeling off and I couldn’t take it anymore. They did all kinds of tests and shit and my liver enzymes were elevated and they said to follow up with my doctor and everything. I also found out that the reason I have been feeling so shitty is because I’m a couple weeks pregnant. The urine test was negative but the blood test was positive. Yeah. It’s been a lot to take in and to handle all at once and I have been freaking out and having breakdowns the past couple days. It was hardest breaking it to my grandma especially because I’m still living here, but she didn’t take it as horribly as I thought. Especially when I told her I’ll be moving in with Stephen soon anyway.

But back to the reason I am so pissed off. I came home to my grandma tonight freaking out on me. Because my doctor had called and wants to see me Friday. Apparently the ER sent her my papers and everything saying I had been there last week. And she goes and fucking tells my grandma I need my blood tested again because the fact that my liver enzymes are so high could mean I have hepatitis. Are you fucking serious??? I’ve been reading everywhere that it can do with pregnancy. And she shouldn’t have told her anything in the first place, besides to have me call her! She is also her doctor but I don’t care, that stuff is private. So now my grandmother is freaking out that I’m going to give my whole family hepatitis and I have to drink out of my own glass and nothing else. I DON’T NEED THIS RIGHT NOW!!! How in the fuck would I get hepatitis? My bloodwork was fine last time I went to the doctor which was around this time last year. Guaranteed she’s going to play the “well we just want to be sure because you have tattoos” card. What the fuck ever. Does no one realize that tattoo artists open brand new needles right in front of you? They are like 10 cents a piece there’s no need for any artist to have to reuse needles for fucks sake.

So I am going Friday and hopefully going to get this all sorted out. I need to get set up with OBGYN appointments anyway and I know there’s a couple in that same building so may as well kill 2 birds with one stone. Wish me luck because I need all the luck I can get.
