For those of you who don't know my story... I had an appendectomy three
years ago and I've had pain from adhesions in my pelvis and small intestines
from it. I had surgery in August but I'm now experiencing even more pain. My
gyno said since the adhesions were on my intestines and the pain was mostly
on the right side where he operated... that the adhesions were most likely
back. So he sent my to a gastroenterologist. Well silly me, I got my hopes
up and got all excited that maybe he could help. He was a COMPLETE JERK!!!
He didn't read the records my gyno faxed, he didn't show me hardly any
respect. He said and I quote, "Tell me again, why you think you're here and
what exactly did you want me to do about it?" He also said, "I'm not a
surgeon I don't know anything about adhesions." He said he guessed we could
rule out a few things with some tests. He determined I didn't have IBS, did
some blood work and managed to dig his hands into my stomach so hard I
cried. I went in for an abdominal ultrasound this morning because he thought
it "could be your liver". But my liver was checked three months ago and it
was fine!!! He would've known that but he wouldn't read my medical records!
He also scheduled a sigmoidoscopy... which I really don't need! My problem
is in my small intestines, duh, not my freakin rectum! I'm seeking out a
second opinion but if a gastroenterologist can't help me then what kind of
doctor do I need to see?? Sorry about the *%&#@ but I get so mad at these
stupid doctors sometimes!
