HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU'VE BEEN IN PAIN FOR 15 MONTHS HAVE A
LAPAROTOMY SCHEDULED FOR 4/5 HAVE THE MD CANCELL IT ON 4/4 AT 2PM AND BE
LEFT TO JUST DEAL WITH EVERYTHING ALONE. I AM AT MY WITS END RIGHT NOW
I'M SO TICKED OFF I COULD SCREAM AND DO MASSIVE ACTS OF VIOLENCE. I
HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE 4/10 FOR MY GYN APPOINTMENT, BECAUSE ONCE THE
LAPAROTOMY WAS CANCELLED BY THE MD'S CONVENIENTLY THEY HAVEN'T HAD AN
AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT UNTIL 5/22. I HAVE BEEN HAVING BREAK THROUGH
BLEEDING(SPOTTING FOR 5 WEEKS SINCE 4/10. I CALLED LAST WEEK AND WAS
ABLE TO MOVE THE APPOINTMENT UP BECAUSE I ACTUALLY STARTED TO BLEED AND
I GET A CALL TELLING ME THAT BY MISTAKE THE TIME SLOT WAS DOUBLE BOOKED
SO I'D HAVE TO RESCHEDULE, NEXT APPOINTMENT AVAILABLE JUNE 1. I ASKED
IF I COULD HAVE MY 5/22 SPOT BACK AND WAS TOLD THEY ALREADY RESCHEDULE
THAT TIME SLOT.
iT SEEMS TO BE THAT ON MY FIRST VISIT TO THAT PRACTICE I SAW DR W. WHO
IS ONE OF THOSE I'M THE DOCTOR YOUR THE PATIENT TYPE OF PEOPLE, ON MY
SECOND VISIT I SAW DR M. WHO IS ONE OF THOSE PATIENTS ARE MEMBERS OF
THE TEAM. I DON'T WANT DR W I WANT TO SEE DR M. IT WAS DR M WHO HAD
THE LAPAROTOMY SCHEDULED, CANCELLED BY DR W WHO TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO
HAVE A LAPAROSCOPY OR NOTHING. I WAS TOLD AFTER THE FACT BY DR M THAT
HE CAN'T GO AGAINST HIS PARTNERS OPINION. WELL THEN MAYBE HE SHOULD
HAVE HAD EVERYTHING VERIFIED BEFORE I WENT AND HAD ALL THE PRE OP LABS
DONE. I VERIFIED 3 TIMES WITH THE OFFICE OF WHAT WAS GOING TO BE DONE,
ONCE WHEN I SIGNED THE CONSENT FORM, ONCE AFTER I HAD THE LAB WORK DONE
BECAUSE THE HOSPITAL HAD IT DOWN FOR LAPAROSCOPY AND ONCE AFTER I SPOKE
WITH ANESTHESIOLOGY BECAUSE THEY TOO HAD IT DOWN AS A SCOPE. WHY WASN'T
THIS ATTENDED TOO 10 DAYS BEFORE WHEN I KEPT CALLING AND VERIFYING?
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO PROFESSIONALISM? WHAT HAPPENED TO TAKING CARE OF
PATIENTS BOTH PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY?, IT SHOULD BE NOTED FOR THE
RECORD THAT DR W IS A WOMAN AND DR M IS A MAN. I DON'T THINK THAT
EITHER OF THEM ARE AWARE OF THE IMPLICATIONS THAT ARE HAPPENING TO ME. I
HAVE FINALLY FOUND A MALE MD WHO I FEEL ALMOST COMFORTABLE WITH AND NOW
IM BEING TOLD TOO BAD. WHAT ON EARTH ARE THEY THINKING? CERTAINLY NOT
ABOUT ME THAT'S FOR SURE.
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT DR W IS JUST THINKING ABOUT A PELVIS FORGETING THAT
THERE IS ABOUT 175LB OF PERSON ATTACHED TO IT, WITH A VERY FRAGILE
EMOTIONAL STATE RIGHT NOW.
HAVE NO FEAR MY INSURANCE BOOK IS OPENED AGAIN IN SEARCH OF YET ANOTHER
MD. I HAVE ALSO MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL GI MD WHO IS ABOUT AS
KIND AS YOU CAN GET, HOPEFULLY HE CAN OFFER SOME SUGGESTIONS.
