Is it just me or is everyone an idiot?

hey guys and girls just wanted to know if it is just me and has anyone else went through this. I went to see the pulomologist today and he was not helpful to say the least. He said he didn't feel it was safe to do a biopsy b/c of the medication he gave me and said the new ct scan still showed the abnormal findings he did not know what it was but my lungs did not look that bad. That i needed to have them monitored and my breathing trouble and chest pain is from being overweight.
Okay now with all of that said I am SO sick of all the darn excuses. if they do not know say I do not know when I was 90lbs heavier I had no issues with my breathing and I did ot have chest pain. So now that I lost paris hilton now my weight is an issue. WTF.....grrrr I am seriously so irritated it is beyond believe. I am dumb founded I have no idea if I want to cry or just become a real b!$ch and just bother everyone until they can figure out and fix my stomach and chest. Thanks for listening well reading, without you guys I swear I would have lost my mind by now.

Could it possibly be that increased activity has revealed a problem that may have been hidden because you weren't as active before you lost weight?  (I'm not a doctor, just putting that possibility out there).

Having worked with Dr A, I have never been very impressed. I would go see another pulmonologist. I recommend the group out at Integris Baptist.

SECOND OPINION!!  I wish I had pressed for one two years ago and I wouldn't be hurting right now.  And steph we know you know how to speak up. Seriously every doctor is not made equally.

Hey it's time to BIO_ _ H up!!!  I know you can.  It's your body and your pain.  You've been through so much and so now take Nancy's suggestion and see another doc.  Keep on until someone finds an answer for you!!!  (((HUGS)))

Steph, I have worked with Dr. Adler for many years and he is very intelligent and a wonderful Dr. He just doesn't have the best bedside manner. It certainly never hurts to have a second look. I am not sure what med he gave you or what your ct shows, however I do hope things get better for you.

Stephanie,

So sorry to hear that your pain continues.  My personal experience with lots and lots of doctors over the last 6 years has left me with the distinct impression that doctors are just like any other population - some are great, (personally, I feel like Dr. Walton belongs firmly in this group), some are mediocre, and some just aren't worth your time.  I have also lost any sense of deference to the medical community - my time and opinions are just as important as theirs.  Don't allow yourself to be bullied just because someone has a long white coat. 

I hope you will find a second (or third) opinion and that you will find one of the great doctors who will be able to help you get competely healthy. 

As for the title of your post - I must admit that I am forced, daily, to add to the list of people who I have to consider complete idiots.  Be careful, they are out there everywhere!

Best wishes,
John

Yes, it is true there are many idiots out there....I would say don't go to see the doc I went to see....He spent 2 min with me and charged me 285!! He is at Mercy. I wish I had answers for you because I pretend to be a Dr. when around my kids and I'm looking kinda dumb right now....I am just going to pray for wisdom for the doctors that you deal with....that is all I know to do besides get mad with you....I can do that really well!
So when are they doing the Gall Bladder stuff???
I do think that will help the chest pains....and I did have a phase in my long life where they thought I had asthma. I was on an inhaler and the works...only to find out that it was reflux and not acid...It was bile coming back up and causing problems in my chest....I wheezed like an old woman....Ok like a super old woman or a really asthmatic person....I couldn't even take a deep breath without coughing like a smoker!
Let's just all pray for wisdom for everyone and that they will find out what it is.....
I'm sorry Steph! You haven't lost your mind at all...You sound better than I do on a good day!!
Hang in there girl!

I run into idiots so much that I think that there is a factory that makes them. Anywho, its been said second opinion so go for it. I have this big rule when it comes to Doctors if they suck at talking to me or dont have a bedside manner then I will find another one that does.
My first family doctor was a jerk here. I went finger walking and found John Pittman who I love big time. And if I dont agree with what he says I tell him and we talk about it...when I had a complication from meds given to me by his PA I told him and he crawled her a$$ for it...SHe gave me steroids which I am not to have..so I gained almost 10 pounds from it in 2 weeks....
Be proactive kiddo and being a bit$h sometimes just pays off

Gez, so sorry.  I have told my kids several times that there are a lot of stupid people in the world -- make sure you are not one of them!  You know what they say -- the squeeky wheel gets the grease.  Maybe the squeeky b!$ch will get the attention.  Cry some if you want, then go get em with the claws extended to full length!!!  It's your health they are messin' with.  I HATE doctors that think they are gods and are above being questioned.  We are praying for you.  Michael
