I am so sorry to hear that this is happening to you- my heart goes out to
you. This is the last thing you need when you are in pain. I know what it feels
like to be betrayed by a doctor. I had a GYN bring me to tears in the office
telling me I had to learn how to be a grown woman and deal with cramps (my
adhesions are around my uterus from 3 c-sections and that time of the month is my
worst 9/10 on the pain scale).
If you can get a copy of your records from the office staff at your doctor's
it will give you a chance to read what he has written about you in his notes.
You can see where he was coming from/what his true thoughts about your case
were. Maybe the answers to his cold shoulder are in there. Then you can decide
if you want to share that file with the new doctor.
I had a friend of mine who thought she had a good doctor-was helping
her-listening to her-and when she got a copy of the office file she was very upset and
shocked to read what the doctor was actually thinking about her-he was saying
one thing to her and documenting something else (it finally made sense why
the referrals he sent her to never helped or went anywhere towards a healthy
solution). He deserved to be sued for his conduct!
I do truly believe in honesty as a beginning in any relationship with a
doctor. So when you see the new doctor it's my opinion that you share as much as
you can feel comfortable with. Just start at the beginning-answer the doc's
questions and tell her where you are hurting. Be as open as you feel you can-even
if it gets a little emotional.
Sorry if this reply rambled too long- I do want to help. I know it is so
draining to begin all over again with a new doctor-try to hang in, I will say a
prayer for you.
