Don't come to Fort Worth if you have health proble

My children relocated me here from Denver, CO due to the cold weather. I was having respitory issues, and back problems. But this was a HUGE MISTAKE! First of all the Doctors here are a joke at best. I have had to change doctors about 5 times in 2years. I had a doctor that her office had roaches! She still used the chart method and kept losing important information in my chart. Then all the doctors asked me why I didn't bring my medical record, and I couldn't believe that they didn't have forms to just send to your old doctors office in order to get your records. They actually thought people should be running around with stacks of their hospital records when they moved from another place. Then because I have pain, I have had the worst time just trying to get my medicine. It seems that a lot of people in Fort Worth, abuse pain medication here, and so it makes it hard for people who really need it. Also, they take forever to get you in to see anyone, and when you do they can't help you half the time. They are very unorganized, and talk to you like you are crazy. They are too relaxed in their work, and prefer to chat than help you. I now have new illnesses, Allergies being one, and so it's gotten really bad. I also have MRSA, and have just been walking around with it, as they have yet to get me in to see a Infecious Desease Doctor in over 4 months. But, I told them that I had it two years ago, and they just poo-pood me about it and sent me to a Dermatologist who just gave me a cream, and even after I told him the cream was not working he just keep giving me creams that didn't work. I hate this place, but its hard to keep moving from city to city, so I am stuck. I don't like anything about this place. I feel the people here are very unprofessional. and although they can be chatty, they are not friendly. I have no friends here, and miss my friends in Denver. I know that I don't need to go back to a cold climate so Denver is out, but Fort Worth was a waste of time, and money. I am very disappointed because they have so many hospitals and not a very good medical system here.
