I called every malpractice attorney here when the first doctor was negligent and no one would help me they all said I had a case but they could not help me there's nowhere else for me to try this is now a year later and like six doctors I have nowhere I can go to the doctor at all I am disabled with severe scoliosis and extreme chronic pain IA year ago was diagnosed with SLE Lupus at the start of this nightmare and I can't even get treatment for that I have a prescription that I've been on for more than 20 years that was cut in half by a doctor that saw me once and then called in verbally assaulted me because I tried to do something about it I'm screwed and I am limited on my time I don't know what to do and I'm terrified and evidently you don't take this seriously at all

I'm sorry am I invisible the first doctor I filed a complaint with the medical board and they dropped it halfway through even after finding out I was diagnosed with SLE lupus and that she didn't believe me and I was accurate for filing the complaint so yeah no thanks montana legal services can't get a hold of them i've applied twice and no one answers the phone so I'm pretty much **** because again I'm going to tell you when these prescriptions are gone my outcome is death if abruptly stopping both of them that I've been on more than half of my life which is twenty plus years and this was a prescription that was cut in half by a doctor that saw me one time without even having my medical history or discussing it with me you cannot tell me that there is not something I can do to get help for this immediately and that I'm going to just have to sit here and die and hope that legal aid gets back to me are you out of your mind
