Allow me to tell you why I left Fireweed Health Care. In a word: Deb. Recent visits have led me to the conclusion that I can no longer trust her judgment.
She parrots back Trump & Alex Jones diatribe so much in the sessions that you don't know if your medication is being prescribed by her or by the "War on Opioids." Among subjects that have come up are that Pokemon GO is turning kids on to Satan and that the creators of Rick & Morty, just like anyone Alex Jones and Fox News don't like, are pedophiles.
The thing that convinced me that I needed to go elsewhere was my first appointment after my roommate took his life following the earthquake in December. My depression and anxiety are a matter of record, so I was honest about how I don't know how I'll make rent and look after his wife and so forth. The following is not her verbatim response, however, all of the sentences were in it:
"Well, you better get a job, then! Can't keep sucking off the government teat forever! Once you've lost more weight, your depression will go away, then it won't matter that you've been on disability for 14 years."
This woman is a NURSE? That is neither the definition of "compassionate" NOR "care!" One appointment with her set my Depression therapy back five years! Maybe she thought she was giving me a "needed kick in the ass," but no. It was a kick in the balls when I was already down.
This combination of experiences is why, after years with their other providers, I feel that I can no longer trust Fireweed Health Care with my pain management. read more
