Jessica,
Thanks for a great letter. I feel so bad for you that all this has happened,
but you have learned from your mistakes and by writing your letter hopefully
helped many people to research and ask questions before any procedure. I
learned this the hard way too. Thanks to advice from others I now write any
and all questions I have and don't let them hurry me through until I
understand the answers. I recently waited three weeks for an appointment
with a doctor at the Cleveland Clinic and was treated horribly and rudely.
He was even rude to my husband and then ordered ten horrible unnecessary
tests. I went right home and wrote a letter to him and faxed it telling him
how rude and inconsiderate he was not to mention unsympathetic and
incompetent. I told him that there will come a time in his life when he will
need medical care and I hoped that he got a doctor who treated him with the
same indifference he treated me. It was really quite mean and not like me,
but I did get an apology letter so maybe it did have some impact. If not, I
am sure all the nurses and office staff got a big laugh out of it! People
who truly understand adhesions and the pain and suffering they cause are hard
to find. It took me a long time, but they are out there. Keep looking and
my best wishes are with you. Ginni
