what my PS said upon getting removed

April 19, 2004

Dear saline girls,

when I had my consult just prior to have implants removed my PS said

that if I came to him and explained I wanted my implants out because

they were making me sick or causing me health problems he wouldn't

touch me with a ten feet pole. He said he wouldn't touch any patient

that made those comments. Just the fact he said that I thought to

myself this will be a never ending war. (between women and surgeons)

I never questioned him. I didn't aruge. I knew it was pointless. I

knew he was basically saying he didn't want a lawsuit. Like all the

surgeons don't. So, when I saw him even though I knew they were

affecting my health I just emphasized I didn't want them in because

they were uncomfortable, which was true and I didn't like the size

which was also true. I just never mentioned the fact they were making

me ill, because I knew I would never convince him nor his staff. I

personally didn't want to convince him of believing me. All I was

concerned about was him doing the removal correctly. I could get my

support and sympapthy from other places. I just needed his skill to

take the darn things out. He like all surgeons, excuse the french

have to " cover their ass " . Its true. I knew I would never convince

him no matter how right I knew I was. All the girls in his office

were like robots. You have to expect that though, because anybody

will push what they believe in. It will take the office girls or his

wife getting really sick for things to change. Doctors will always

take evidence over what women say. What I wonder is if he will ever

see the light. I say that because his wife has silicone, her 2nd

pair. Lets see how she is 10 yrs down the road and what he thinks. It

will affect her health someday at some point. Then what. It will be

interesting. She was as nice and professional as could be. I just

know its coming. I say this out of curiousity, because sometimes we

just don't belive the truth until we experince it oursleves. Sorry

for the sloppy writing.
