I have been seeing Dr"".Do not Care ""James Mitchel Costner for over 20 years. He has always seemed a little cold and distant to me and my wife. His advice has usually been text book correct, however I always leave thinking he did not hear anything I said. These Last few days have left me really frustrated and in severe pain. I was in a a car accident 6-15-2012. .I was taken to Gaston Memorial and transferred to CMC. The first 4 weeks I do not remember.I was diagnosed with a spinal cord injury at the c-2 vertebrae. To those that do not know that means I am now a quadriplegic. I have been in rehab hospitals until November the 5th. I was written prescriptions to last until I get new ones written by my primary doctor Dr. Do Not care. I had notified JMC after I was cognitive of all test, procedures and results at every facility I had been admitted. I was taking several medications to control my pain and spasms. I was told not to try to go off these medications at every rehab hospital because they were still needed for my therapy to continue at home. I was given only a 10 day supply of some of these meds. I contacted my primary physcian JMC, to have him refill these. I also told him that I was now in a power wheel chair. The only way I can be transported is in a handicapped van. After I called Access and my home social worker called them and other transporters, we have been told it would be impossible to transport me until December. The first request to Dr. Costner resulted in him saying to go to the Pain Center. The earliest appointment I can get is mid December. My homecare nurse and my Social worker called Dr. Costner yesterday and explained everything including all information on my prescription to Riverwood's personnel. I received no response until today. He nor staff even called me. They called the Nurse and Dr. Costners response to her was ""That under no circumstances would he write me a prescription for any narcotic and this was his final word on the subject."". I am 65 years old and in so much pain it has taken me hours to type this document. I have lived in Gastonia my whole life, and I have never abused drugs.
