Linda,
Please learn to say "NO" when YOU don't want a procedure performed. If they
insist--then
YOU refuse louder....or WALK OUT! You are the person in pain, paying
them--don't allow yourself to be victimized by some ruthless pig. Oh, this
kind of crap makes me so mad!! They are mere
men (women), not God and you don't have to bow down to any of them...
and don't go back to this yo-yo....if he understood your pain he wouldn't
give you only 20 pills.
Wow.....what a help this guy is.
I hope you feel better tomorrow--then send him a "see-ya" card.
Karen

Subject: need to vent
Hi, all I went to get my second opinion today, Drove 3 hours for it, sat
in the waiting room for 1/2 hour then in the exam room for another 1/2 hour,
before seeing this flaky doctor.
He said I do need to have the hysterectomy done, that should minimize the
pain since my uterus is stuck to my belly button. All I wanted him to do
was read the post op and give me his opinion and help me with the pain
aspect. He INSISTED on doing a pelvic exam. I was already hurtin today
real bad, as I took 4 advil before i left for the appt. he started pushing
and all that fun stuff. I was crying my husband was PISSED. He let me get
dressed, came back in and told me to take birthcontrol to see if that would
help with some of th epain. I am 30 and I smoke, not a good combo.
Last monday, he called in some vicodin, 20 of them. The bottle said to take
1 tablet 4 times a day as needed. So I took them as the pain never goes
away. Then the jerk after making the pain worse, didn't want to give me
anything for this time around. Finally got him to give me something, he
gave me 20 more with the same instructions, except to take 2 aleve 2 times
aday also instead of the advil. What do you guys think? I am at my wits
end, I can't take anymore. I thought he was gonna help me and he thinks I
am gonna get addicted. I have 3 kids to take care of, make that 4 cause I
have a hubby too. Can't stay in bed al day. The doc that did the lap is
very reluctant to give me anything either.
I need all the advice I can get from my "family"
Lots of love andhugs for all of you Thanx
Linda Garcia
