“I don’t feel like Dr Shadare got to know me. I was going through some through some really bad shit. I’m still having trouble and being told I can’t be treated right because I’m on oxycodone. I just needed help temporarily. Sometimes benefits out way the ricks. But it’s whatever. She also has issues because I could afford medications after my state of Maryland plan switched to Medicare D and the copay went from $25 to over $300. She never asked to talked to my therapist that I have been with for”
