I get sooooo angry when I read stories such as yours! These doctors shouldn't be allowed to practice medicine in my opinion!
PLEASE go to another doctor NOW!!! You have rights, those rights include to be considered as a human being (because you are!), you are also entitled to be treated with respect and dignity. The fact that he admitted to you that he forgot to remove stitches is outrageous!
He obvioussly realises that he has treated you badly and thinks that if he ignores you, he can sweep you under the carpet and make you disappear. If I had been treated like that I would be now asking my solicitor to advise me on the best legal course of action!
I pray that you find a compationate and caring doctor who will give you the treatment you so obvioussly urgently need.
my love and hugs go to you Bobbi
