Patient
I went to sleep Dr. Cometh at the JPS cardiology clinic on 9/17/2025. I was excited to return to the clinic after having several years of insurance issues and not being able to continue to use them to care for my chronic heart failure. I will preface this by saying I have struggled with using meth for many years, although that is not what caused my chf, it certainly had not helped it. Dr. Cometh asked about if I had any relaps s in the time between when he implanted my defibulator and my appointment. I'm being honest I don't want to portray myself as the stereotypical meth user, I don't feel like I am, but this is my pov. It is not an easy drylug to quit doing, especially if you are on an array of meds that make you tired, dizzy, nauseated, etc. I told him yes I did and I explained to him I didn't have any energy unless I did that He told me that he understood the meds made me feel bad and he said the drug probably does make me feel better, but ultimately it is not helping my heart get better. I realize this. And I agree. So, why not give me a solution to my problem instead of telling me that if I would just stop complaining about how bad I feel when I don't do meth because I'm in other drugs that make me feel bad and accept that this is my new normal. Ok, what happened to going to the doctor because we feel bad and then treating us so that we feel better? Isn't that his job? To help his patients to find a treatment that will help them improve? To make referrals to another specialist if that is not their area of expertise?
