Altered Perception

I edited my post because it was quite long due to the complex nature. Below you will find my ultra brief summary but be aware its missing a lot of information so please don't jump to conclusions or judge me without asking me to elaborate. Or you can just read the full version included by clicking on "show"
I'm disabled with a rare neurological condition known as Dysautonomia which occurred after a drug overdose damaged my Autonomic Nervous System. So now for the past 12 years I have many different complications with my body requiring frequent hospital visits to the Emergency Room. The Dysautonomia also means I can no longer tolerate substances that depress or stimulate my Autonomic Nervous System so I have ended up in the ER with severe adverse reactions after taking opiate pain medications for my chronic pain.
Because of the rare nature of my illness one of the ER doctors quickly labeled me as a junkie whilst another ER doctor dismissed me as having anxiety. I was then refused further treatment and dismissed with a rude condescending tone. Neither have ever examined me or allowed me to explain my medical condition and both refused to look at my specialists reports. Ironically their attempts to dismiss me as having anxiety has in fact become the cause of my anxiety and they have told me not to come back to the hospital which has made me apprehensive to seek medical treatment in time of need.
After ignoring their banishment the harassment increased and they now keep tabs and count every time I attend the ER and then notify my family doctor and try to convince him I suffer from anxiety which I do not. I reported them both and whilst one of them has stopped after they were spoken to my the department manager, the other has become even more aggressive and vindictive by continuing to meddle and sabotage my hospital visits by trying to influence other doctors opinions of me and interfering in any way they can to try and cause me distress and anxiety. What's the best way to deal with a major douchebag?
I became disabled following a recreational drug overdose on ecstasy and amphetamines 12 years ago. I was diagnosed with a rare Neurological condition known as Dysautonomia which occurred as a result of drug toxicity and near fatal hyperthermia damaging my Autonomic Nervous System. The damage is very complicated and causes me all sorts of dysfunction to all my body's automatic functions such as heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, digestion, sexual arousal, sweating etc...
The most annoying symptom is that its also left me with intolerance and sensitivty towards all substances that act on My Autonomic Nervous System and I can no longer tolerate stimulants, sedatives, opiates or depressants which result in severe adverse reactions and disruptions to my vitals.
This is where the main part of the story begins...Because of my disability I end up at the Emergency room quite frequently due to complications that occur when my body malfunctions. Sometimes the ER visits are due to adverse reactions that randomly occur after taking opiates for chronic pain. I usually put up with the adverse effects at home but only when it begins to feel life threatening causing me intense sedation and nodding, bradycardia with heart rate slowed to the low 40 bpm, suppressed breathing and unable to keep eyes open followed by waking up gasping for air and irregular heart thats when I go to the ER.
Other times I attend the ER when I develop SVT's (Supraventricular Tachycardia) caused by faulty electrical connections in the heart, hyperthermia caused by the malfunctioning of my temperature due to the neurological damage. Majority of visits have been due to Gastroparesis which occurs when the stomach stops working and the food fails to empty into the lower guts and the food begins to spoil in the stomach from sitting dormant and undigested for many hours resulting in nausea, vomiting, chills, fever and food poisoning type symptoms and feeling very ill. Again the root of all my visits have been due to the side effects of having a damaged Autonomic Nervous System.
One of the doctors in the ER took a disliking to me right away when he heard my reason for being there was due to the adverse reaction from taking 7mg of oxycodone. He called me a drug abuser and refused me medical treatment and he would not allow me to explain my complex medical history. A year later I ran into him again in the ER but this time I was there to ask for Naloxone because I believed having an ampule of naloxone would allow me to manage any potential danger at home and keep me from having to further deal with the ignorant hospital staff, however my request for Naloxone made me appear even more like junkie and the Er doctor once again refused to listen to me any further and then sent my family doctor a letter saying that I suffered from "mental and behavioral problems due to opioid s" even though I was not under the influence of opioids when I had consulted him to request naloxone. When he was treating me rudely I asked to practice my rights to get a second opinion from another doctor. So this doctor left and went straight to his friend and colleague to sabotage my request and told shared his views on me so that when the doctor came out to see me he already had formed an opinion of me before even seeing me. The second Er doctor snapped at me right away saying "NALOXONE?!?, I don't have time for this, I have more important patients to deal with and then he left" all within about 10 seconds.
I made a formal complaint about the doctor for making false and unfounded accusations about me and for refusing to treat me or look at my medical history, One of the doctors has been under investigation by a third party agency for the past 2 years now and I am still waiting on a resolution. The Er department manager also had an interview with me and put into place a care plan collected from all my specialists to prevent further mistreatment when I attend the hospital. He also told me he would speak to the two doctors however these two cock sucking cunts posing as ER doctors have continued to try and sabotage my hospital visits at every chance they get. One of them continues to meddle by being influential on other doctors by talking shit about me to them despite the fact that I have not seen him since I reported him.
As for the other cunt I saw him a few months ago and unfortunately I was having a pretty severe reaction lying on the ER bed at the time and soon as he walked in and recognized me he said "oh its you again, GO HOME!!" and then left. A few minutes later he came back after he had apparently gone to the computer to see how many times I had come into hospital and then he said 'This is your 88nd attendance here, you need to see a psychologist for anxiety". he was now playing the "anxiety' card at me because the department disapproved of his behavior last time when he played the "you're a junkie" card. So I replied to him saying "ive already seen a psychologist and they have excluded any findings for anxiety" to which he kept shaking his head saying "I don't think so". I told him " anxiety doe snot cause bradycardia and reduce your heart rate to the low 40's and unable to keep your eyes open and cause you to nod off. So then he decides to threaten me saying "If you come here again I'm going to call the police and tell them you've been driving to hospital under the influence of opiates" I seriously wanted to punch the stupid fucker in the face. I have enough difficulties in my life doing the best I can to live with a disability and he has no right to cause me grief over attending the hospital because of my body malfunctioning. he then sent my family doctor a letter informing him of the current number of visits I had made to hospital and for the "diagnosis" section he wrote just one word..."Anxiety"
The stupid motherfucker is trying to force me to feel anxious because I don't get anxiety during the adverse reactions and he is trying to now convince my family doctor too. its hard enough trying to find a good family doctor when you have rare neurological condition without having an evil jerk trying to ruin your relationship with your family doctor and creating doubt about your mental health. This fucking cunt has never examined me, he has never checked my vitals, he has never given me a mental health assessment, he has never looked at my medical history, he has never given me a chance to explain my side of things yet with the 40 seconds of seeing me he feels he has a right to dismiss all my specialists diagnosis and class me as a junkie and as suffering from anxiety. Ironically he has managed to cause me anxiety. I've been coping really well with my disability for 12 years and even in the face of death during some of the worst adverse reactions Ive had Ive managed to stay calm and I'm not afraid of dying but then some corrupt, narcissistic, arrogant, vindictive cocksucker comes in and manages to cause me distress and anxiety after lying about me to my family doctor and labeling me with anxiety.
I reported him once again to and the hospital spoke to him and I thought the matter was resolved. But this week after developing Gastroparesis again and going to the Er, my family doctor received an anonymous letter telling him the current number of visits I have made and telling him to send me to a psychologist. Its obvious that jerk sent it. What angers me is his request fro me to be sent to a psychologist when he refuses to look at my psychologists diagnosis, so whats the point of requesting for me to see another one when he wont look at it or even acknowledge it. His a sick twisted asshole and just doing all this to cause trouble and cause me anxiety because he seems to be upset about me reporting him and his friend to the hospital and the medical board. How do you deal with someone like that?
