His priorities are really unethical. I'm poor and had 2 stage 4 illnesses and am in desperate need of being tapered off of a high dose of a benzodiazepine because I have run out and going cold turkey on a benzo causes seizures and is life-threatening. He says that he won't treat me because "medicare patients don't pay very well."
I told him that out of 30 psychiatrists that I called which are listed as taking medicare, (almost a third of which are in another state, that's how few take medicare here) 30 have said that they either are not taking new patients, or do not accept medicare patients because we "don't pay enough." All he cares about is money. I don't want to have seizures and I'm in a life-threatening situation, and all he cares about is that I don't pay enough. Soulless.
