I have noticed that Doctor's new line of defence is, it's
in your head or are you nervous when they can't be bothered of
don't have an answer. It's so annoying. You could be
telling them you are in pain ,or what ever and if their office is
jammed or you are in the emergengy room , this seems to be the
answer of choice. I am not refering to someone whom wants attention
or is neurotic. I understand they are out there. Yet when you have
a valid complaint it seems like it's an easy out for them. My
gyn. was told by my urologist that I had an a small growth on
one of my overies. I saw my gyn. immediately. She ran some blood
tests and took a biopsy of my tissue. Great ,right? The test came
back ok she then basically blew me off. She is a very busy doctor
whom sees many patients in a day. With the next week or so I went
back and told her something did'nt feel right. She did a
micro-fast exam and said it was nothing that I must be stressed
out. Within the next week I called again the pain had started to
get worse . They took four days to get back to me ,booked me in a
spot that was already taken,so they cancelled it. I had to wait
another 4 days to see her as she was on vacation. I ended up in the
emergency room where they told me I had a huge growth on my overy.
They told me to see my doctor and did nothing for me. I was in so
much pain I cannot tell you. She finally saw me the next day at her
office. I had to wait as she did'nt want to disrupt her
returning schedule. Even the nurses were telling her . She just
brushed it away with her hand. I was almost passing out now from
the pain . Finally she comes in the room and has the nerve to tell
me maybe I should go home and rest with some pain killers till
tomm. I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WALKING AT THIS POINT. Finally she gives
in and says ok go to the hospital ,we'll do the surgery later
that day. What a crock! I did'nt see her until 2:00 the next
day in surgery. This is with no food ,and suffering till she
decided to show up. She finally does the surgery and when I'm
coming too she blurts out ,yea you were right it was alot bigger
than I thought. Ghee thanks idiot!She tells me she'll be back
to see me later ,never see her again. The next time I see her is
back in her office and she seems all proud of her self as if she
did me a favor.I guess it was all in my head right?This is just one
example but I have heard and seen enough to make your head spin. I
think all it's become is a money making machine and how many
people they can cram in. The old fashioned doctor caring about his
patient is now gone. They do the basics and want to get you
out as fast as possible so the can see the next. Hospitals are run
the same too. It's so sad . I'm not bad mouthing every
doctor out here. I'm sure there are some wonderful ones left
but it seems this is the direction medicine seems to be taking.
They are trying to cram too many people in to make money and in the
end your care suffers. What do you think. Have you noticed
this trend too.
