Re: Set up 2nd PS appointment/USES DRAINS!!

[Guest guest]

Well, I got an email back from this ps....this is exactly what she

wrote: " My assistant already told me about you. I do perform

capsulectomy and I

routinely use drains for all breast surgeries.(I do not like the

fluid

to build up)I look forward to seeing you. "

sounds promising. I almost feeling like holding off on some of the

others I am calling, because when I call, the receptionist doesn't

know if they do en bloc or not. I will see this new ps next week.

And I will surely give you the run down then. I am very optimistic

at this point. Thank you all for helping me fine tune my searches.

I want to be able to recommend a Chicago ps for your list!

I agree - this surgeon sounds like a winner. I wonder if women surgeons are

generally

more sensitive to these issues. Don't know, but I wouldn't doubt it.

I bet you are right, Rogene!

Speaking of other people's messes - I haven't heard from my original

PS regarding my request for an operating report. I was told to ask

my 'consultant'; I called again tonight and they gave me b.s. to

leave a msg on the dr's voice mail, and that his wife will take care

of it, but they didn't know if they'd have it from 10 years ago. (I

wonder how long legally they are supposed to keep them) The 2nd ps

emailed me again asking if I could obtain any photographs of my

breast prior to augmentation....well, the only ones I know of (joke,

joke) were taken by the original surgeon...now wish me luck in

trying to get those. The receptionist, was, of course, bored and

rude. I know that the new ps really wants you to come armed w/ info

and I am doing my best. Now the original surgeon will know I am

not coming back to him, so he will probably make this more difficult.
