I would talk about this to a family member, but they wouldn't listen even if I tried.
This is a link to the first video I ever made when my brother died.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=239694.0I went to Doctor Louis B. Kasunic in Castle Rock today because I have been throwing up for the past few months. When I got to the office all of the nurses treated me well. I even misplaced my phone, and all of the nurses helped me look for it and even learned my name, and were pleasantly asking "Did you find your phone yet?". Eventually one of the nurses found it so they brought it to me, and gave it to me.
I sat in the Doctors office for a short period and while I was waiting I moved his skeleton into a captain Morgan stance, using a radio in the room to prop up the leg, and propping one of the hands on the hip bone. The doctor entered and we started talking. He told me that he read I had been throwing up and asked how often. He put an emphasis on "when" the vomiting started. I told him it had been a long time, and there was no way I could really pin point a time. But he insisted that I gave him a specific time, but I told him I couldn't. He was almost angry with me for not picking a specific time and kept pushing sentences like "It was around the beginning of the year, correct?", even after I repeatedly told him there was no way I could know.
He asked if I had heart burn, and I told him I wasn't sure what that was, and he explained it. I had experienced it before, so I told him "yes". He started listing things that I would need to stop drinking like orange juice, soda, etc. And told me that he was going to write a prescription for oxycontin for pain. I told him I did not want a prescription, because I already had a prescription for marijuana because of hip pain I have been experiencing since I was a child. He seemed to get angered when I mentioned that, and it almost felt like he was trying to persuade me to choose oxycontin. He asked in an angry tone "Who prescribed you that?" and I can't remember my Doctors name, so I gave him the name of the place my doctor works. He told me that he had experience with a patient that had been hospitalized due to the vomiting brought on by marijuana smoking, and assured me that oxycontin was a much safer alternative. I told him that cannabis is actually known as an anti-nausea medication, then he literally put his hand in my face and said loudly "You don't tell me", as if to say "I'm the doctor here, you shut your fucking mouth". I replied saying calmly "You can't talk to me like that". And he yelled "We're done here." and opened the door and pointed for me to leave. Then called the police without telling me, and the nurses were nice enough to inform us of that (because they were polite the whole time), so we left.
I did not bring up the topic of marijuana, and it was in no way my goal to persuade him that marijuana was a better medication than anything else. He decided to ask me if I smoked cigarettes, knowing damn well that the chart in his hand said no I don't smoke cigarettes, but I smoke weed. He wanted to pick this fight. And I want to warn the world about his malpractice.
Physicians are not gods, their jobs are to speak with you to find out what is wrong, then work with you to decide how to fix it. I didn't even want to talk about Cannabis or any form of prescription with this Doctor and he not only refused me treatment, but treated me like less than a human being. I would expect someone with a doctors education to be able to handle small talk and discussion, but apparently not.
But I'm sure you can go there with a opiate addiction and some good insurance, and he'd treat you much better than he treated me.
I do not want anyone to do anything bad to this man, he probably makes life bad enough for himself, or else he wouldn't have to put his hands in his patients faces like an angry teenage girl.
But if you would like to leave a simple prank phone call, or send a fax, send me a PM and I will give you his information. I really want to waste a lot of this guys time over the next few months, unless he wants to apologize, or give me back my co-pay (that's not the whole point, it's just the principle of the matter. He owes me reparations of some kind after treating me that way).
The information I think I am allowed to give on Bitcointalk is this (please tell me if I am allowed to add phone number and address)
Dr. Louis B. Kasunic: Board Certified Family Physician (Not for long)
Castle Rock, Colorado
Castle Rock Family Physicians
If you are ever bored one day, look them up and send a fax, or set up an appointment, or just ask if his refrigerator is running. And I'm not positive, but from what I could tell he seemed like the kind of Doctor that hands out prescriptions like candy. That's not my cup of tea, so I'm not going to try to find out if he is. But if he wasn't coming down on some kind of drug, then I don't know what was making him treat me that way.
And to anyone who reads this and thinks "Well, he's a doctor and it's his office, he has that right".
YES he has the right to refuse me service
YES he has the right to deny me marijuana (which I never asked for, I'm just letting you know his rights)
But he does NOT have the right to put his hand in his face and yell at me
He does NOT have the right to charge me for medical services, when he treated me worse than a vet does a dog
He does NOT have the right to use my paid appointment as a stage for arguing about something he doesn't like
He does NOT have the right to raise his voice to any patient
And he is SUPPOSED to be a family physician. That title needs to be revoked.
If a patient gets angry and yells, or even put a hand in the doctors face, or even shoved the doctor (which I didn't do), that is understandable, as some doctors do not like to work with patients and that is frustrating.
But for a man that has been educated in not only the human body, but how to treat that body like a living important thing, to act like that is just ridiculous. He went to school for this stuff, he should be able to handle a discussion about it without it becoming a heated debate, let alone crazy outburst like the display he showed me.
A doctor is supposed to speak WITH you and learn what is wrong, then WORK with you to figure out what is best for your problem.
He is not a doctor, he is a control freak. And if he were a surgeon, I bet he would play god and kill people "on accident" for fun.When I was little, my mom used to yell and tell us to shut up or she'd smack our heads through the wind shield.
My dad used to pinch the back of our necks and grab our tendons, like we were misbehaving dogs.
My mom used to run around the house swinging a wooden stick. She would tell us "If I can't hit your butt, I'll hit whatever I can"
I worked for my dad in highschool, and he never fired me, just stopped giving me hours
One time I got stern with my little brother for lying, and was trying to teach him not to. He cried and my mom came and slapped me in the face.
My mom broke a wooden spoon on my sisters ass.
My mom pretends to listen, and says "ok". And when you call her out on it, she laughs. Then does it again as soon as she can.
If my family can't lie their way out of a problem, they blame it on me.
My step dad blames all his failures (so, his life) on me.
My mom told me I was a smart kid about a month ago, and I almost cried because it felt like the only reason she would say that is to make fun of me.
My mom pretends I'm distant, but it's because she wants me to go away.
Have you ever met a person that no matter what you say to them, they take it as an insult? That's how my mom is with me.
My sister wants me to love her, but wants to be a bitch to me.
I have seen my mother literally hold a girl my age by the shoulders and yell "You're a bitch" and have them yell back "I'm a bitch".
I've had to keep my mom from walking down to the neighbors house with a baseball bat because she stole a waiters number. And they are both married women.
I have had to protect my little brother from being dragged out of the house by my angry step dad.
I have been persecuted for asking for the courtesy of a text when my family decides to stand me up and leave me waiting alone.
I am talked about behind my back constantly
When I was a child I would spy on my parents drinking and blaming their financial problems on me
My step dad has to my face apologized twice for being an ass hole and said he would never do it again, yet he refuses to acknowledge me when I attempt to discuss a charity he asked me to start.
My family thinks I'm gay, not matter how much I let them know I'm not
This has been part one of the poem, more to come
