I saw Dr. Conder in our local ED after my PCP had told me to go there for my pain. When your a chronic pain patient seeking help and the Drs. don't know what's causing it, the nurses can treat you like your a piece of $%$&. Dr. Conder asked me if the Drs. had told me this is psychosomatic. Which I replied, No. I asked her if possibly I had lupus? She replied, you don't have lupus, you've been tested for that. Glad she knew I had been cause I didn't know I had. She had me so upset, I was bawling. I called my PCP on my cell phone and left a message as to what she had said. Which was totally misquoted in my ED records. I was told by a former patient that if Dr. Conder can't see it,it doesn't exist. I was also told by my counselor she knows of several chronic pain patients that will refuse to be seen by Conder in the ED. Yes, I did realize I had depression, but there was actual pain that was causing it. A few months later I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy.
