I'm cancelling today altogether!!!

I am sooooo pissed I can hardly stand it.  I'm beginning to HATE doctors!!!

I saw my cardiologist this morning.  If ya'll recall, I am questioning those wonderous test results that stated that my heart function jumped from a dreadful 20% all the way up to 48%.  Well, guess what?  The great & all-knowing doctor AGREES WITH ME that something's fishy about those test results!!!  And has for all these weeks since I was in hospital.  Yet he has done NOTHING about it, nor did HE contact ME, questioning their validity. I had to wait for a month just to see him, only to be told, yup, it just doesn't add up, does it?  Well F'ING DUUUUUUH!!!  So now the all-knowing specialist is going to go back & review all the data AGAIN & will send me A LETTER with his findings!  I don't want a f'ing letter...I want him to see me IN PERSON & tell me to my face what's the what, or is that asking too much???  Four weeks have been WASTED while this rocket scientist just sits there, hanging MY life in the balance.  Must be nice, right?  I mean let's face it...he stands to make a whole bunch more money off me keeping me sick, right?  So I'm just a paycheck.  God forbid we help me to live a long, healthy life.

WHERE HAVE DOCTOR ETHICS GONE???  I'd really like to know.  When did they get the idea that they walk on water?  How can I EVER trust any of these morons?

So, this is how my day is going.  I'm not a happy camper.  I'm afraid of the what ifs.  I have no idea how far I can push myself without DYING!!!  I want some answers.  Should I be entitled to such a silly thing?

I'm taking a Xanax & ******g off the rest of the evening.  Can't even remember when I've taken a xanax last, but I think this constitutes the right time.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Ann,

I am so sorry to hear about your day and the ignorance of your doctors. I have "fired" so many doctors it's insane. I hope they do their job and get you fixed up and back to 100%

Hijack......I love your new pic!!!!!

Thanks, Sweetie!  You must be talking about the one on facebook, yes?

Oh Ann, I am so sorry to hear about your troubles. I say fire that ???? and get you a better doctor.

Go ahead vent all you want.

I have always been told that the BEST opinion is a 2nd opinion! There is no harm in seeking anothers opinion when it comes to your health and well being. Plus it sounds like this doctor doesn't have a very good/smart bedside manor. Don't forget, you are YOUR best advocate!

Sending love & hugs your way.  Perhaps a new doctor is in order.

Ann,   Guess what? 

Today is a NEW day :)  I am soooooo sorry to hear about all of your troubles but I know that you will fire that darn doctor and seek other opinions.  With your medical background you definitely know what is right and what is not. 

Huggs comin at ya girlfriend.

(((Ann))) - so sorry for the %)(*$& doctor, i've decided, some doctors are just buttheads..my FIL has been going through a similar scenario, here's your diagnosis, see ya in a month good luck with that! (Pulmonary hypertension)...didn't tell him how much he could exercise, etc...(((Hugs))) to you sweet Ann, hope today is better, lys

I am sorry Ann.  Some doctors just seem to think they walk on water and forget they are supposed to be answerable to their patients.....

Go get a second opinion because now you know you can't trust the word of this one - he may be an excellent doctor but has a terrible bedside manner  - or  - he may not be the doctor you thought he was - a second opinion may help you decide.

In the meantime - don't give up or give in - if you are feeling good concentrate on enjoying that feeling and do not let yoursel get too stressed. You are no worse of today than you were yesterday, save that you know the figures might be incorrect....

Get all of the information and then you can make an informed judgement....

Hang in there!
