I have been having a problem since Saturday. It is not a pretty problem. I first noticed the problem Sunday morning, then it got progressively worse. On Tuesday I was fed up and went to Kaiser and saw my idiot doctor. I first protested and asked not to see my doctor when I called Kaiser, but naturally he was the only doctor with an opening.
Ok- so let me give you a little background when I say idiot doctor. I went to the doctor once this summer because I was sick or something and he completely ignored my problem. He instead told me my pulse was really fast and I needed counseling, as well as a vacation. A few days later he had his nurse call to say that I should also get a massage.
Fast forward to Tuesday when I unwillingly go to the doctor for my appointment with this lunatic. My pulse was extremely high yesterday, but he didn't mention anything. No, instead I told him my problem, said it was probably stress related, and told me I needed a massage. Um... a bowel problem and I need a massage? I said I thought the problem wasn't stress related and so after some arguing with him he asked me when I first experienced the problem, then told me I probably don't have e-coli and just "keep on pooping" and eventually things will get better. Some people throw up, but I need to poop was his answer. I realized I was talking to a wall and so once the appointment ended I went to the pharmacy.
At the pharmacy the physician's assistant listened to me and what I said my symptoms were, then recommended that I try some anti-diahrrea medicine, when to take it, and things of that sort. She also said Tylenol should help.
I would complain to membership services, but it would do no good. I did however call to switch doctors because I am tired of this tool that I have and was told that there were no available doctors unless I choose a primary doctor 15-30 miles away. Sure, I'll do that, but when I call for an appointment here in Riverside, I'm sure I'll be told to see this fool.

Kaiser rant
I hate going to the doctor. Kaiser is terrible. They are extremely slow and always require an appointment regardless of how sick you are. It is as if you have to plan to be sick. Fortunately I am not sick today. I am at kaiser in the waiting room and have been waiting 30 minutes already past my appointment time to see the doctor. And did I mention you are supposed to check in 15 minutes prior to your appointment? I never do- that just means I'd have to wait longer. And did I mention the awful stench in here? The waiting room smells mildewy and moldy. There is a fan going making the problem worse. There are fans on every floor of the building. And did I also mention that I have a doctor who does not listen to my problems or concerns? I am being seen for sensitive skin and razorburn. His answer was to not shave. It took waiting 45 minutes after my scheduled appointment to get this wonderful answer. Am I going to stop shaving just because my skin is irritated easily?is this practical? No. The doctor said I could put vaselline on my face. I said that would cause a lot of pimples and he said it was my choice. I have tried different moisturizers, creams, and razors to no avail.
Oh, and I have a high pulse... the doctor suggested I need counseling. Lmao
