Good for you! It is time that we take back our lives. This doctor hurt you, and you have shown your annoyance in a positive way. I always feel better when I tell people off after they have hurt me. I found a letter yesterday from a woman who was treated very badly by her doctor. This is not a professional way for doctors to treat their patients. I have reported many doctors to the hospital administration when I was mistreated, this stops them from being unkind to other patients.

We are all so proud of you...love always.....Lea

I did it! Broke ties w/ ps!

hey gals,"I feel good - na na na na na na!"So, yesterday the ps's office called and told me my appt had to be at 11:30 instead of 9am. I called around 4pm, and got voice mail, I told them I couldn't make it and would follow up today.TWO people just called and said I needed to call them 'right away'.I called and asked for the nice assistant, and I told her to please cancel all my apts. and I will get follow up care elsewhere. She asked if something is wrong, and I said 'oh yes'.I proceeded to say "you were in the room with me when she made the comment that everyone cried over my body, because I had such a beautiful result and NOW look at me. Then there were more unprofessional comments as I was being wheeled off to surgery that my boyfriend heard, and he was completely astonished and offended. These are really grating on me, and I can only conclude when someone is that unprofessional, it makes me question their motives in my care, and whether they even know what they are doing. I know she has put in THOUSANDS of implants, but she obviously has a problem with women who want them removed and not be reimplanted. (at which point the lady said hmm-mmm, as if she agreed!) Her professionalism, if there ever truly was any, has completely derailed into such a nasty fashion, I can no longer justify coming to your office. I don't know what your situation is, but she doesn't deserve you, and I see how you and the others are treated. I am offended emotionally, financially, and professionally. "She nervously said 'Well, Dr X wanted us to get you on the phone right away'. I said 'Really? how odd - why is that?' She said 'well, you had cancelled, and she wanted to know what was wrong?' I replied "That is interesting, she immediately knew something was wrong, when my msg stated I would be following up this morning". (guilty conscious? she frequently looses patients perhaps? or she was going to berate me for cancelling?) She asked if I could speak to her right now. I said 'no, I do not have time for her nonsense, I can respond to any inquiry she may have in my own time, just as she always kept me waiting at appointments'.She then offered to have me speak with the mgr. She is an awesome, sweet lady who must take it all the time from the ps. I said 'absolutely, I always like speaking to her' She wasn't available so she'll call me later. The assitant kept saying 'oh, I am soo soo sorry, I really am'. I have a feeling it ain't the first time!Then my phone rang 4 times and I got hang ups. THEN the ps called, apologizing on the voice mail - never meaning to offend me, and that I am obligated to continue to see her because she is my dr, and I can have many complications over the next 6 wks. (crocodile tears and scare tactics!!) She hopes we can get passed this 'small bump', and I need to call and reschedule. Like h*** I will!So, I will get better, I will heal brilliantly, and I will do it without her! Amen!

Thanks, girls! wahooo! here's to us all!

I went to the new lymph masseuse - it was a wonderful, healing

experience. Not clinical, but very warm with spiritual pictures on

the wall, positive quotes, soft music. And get this? One of the

employees of the ps was coming after me! (Instead of going to the

massage person the ps had in her office -who was not supportive of

me either) He even offered to make sure I do not run into anyone

from her office, if that was uncomfortable for me. He explained

that the lymph in the breast drains four ways - think of it like

North, South, East, West - all those directions. He said most of

the fluid collects at the bottom, outside of the breast. It was

very interesting. He did say I was swollen on the right side, but

nothing abnormal. Also, we talked about using food for healing, and

how most doctors can be so discouraging of people forging their own

way in healing, and he thinks there are some good doctors who get

lost in the whole system. After I told him I had explant, he asked

what I was going to do now, put new ones in? I said 'no, I want to

be my natural self'. He smiled and said reassuringly 'as it should

be'. It was soo nice to get validation. I just know I am doing the

right thing. My whole chest area felt lighter afterward. There

were a few tender spots, but it was soothing. I just kept imagining

toxins breaking up and being carried away. Pretty cool.

Dang, you told her what's what, didn't you!

And not only did you take responsibility for your own health, I do believe you made an impact on her. I would follow up with a letter, so she can get it directly from you. Maybe some of it will sink in. Probably not, but it's important that these people hear from us. So many women are afraid to speak up-- we are made to feel misinformed and crazy when we disagree with what is the accepted "norm."

Congrats on standing up for your rights!

Hi

All things considered, you definitely did the right thing. This lady sounds

nuts! Just be sure to see your regular doctor for checkups.

-Thanks, Bindi! What is most effective, I wonder? Complaining to

the cheif of the hosptial or an administrator? I was thinking of

writing a brief letter, and copy the appropriate hosptial people,

and perhaps her organization affiliations as well.

I agree that it's important that these doctors hear from us, not just the ps's but the other doctors who treated us badly (and anyone else who'll listen). I was explanted almost two years ago by my implanting surgeon and he's going to get a letter soon from me. I remember a conversation we had before my surgery about implants making women sick--he would only admit they make some women sick and didn't think I was one of them. He's advertising now that he specializes in breasts. Not that he probably cares about how I'm doing but I'm looking at another surgery which will probably reveal mold still growing in my chest wall. He knows Dr. Blais found my implants were contaminated. I'm still trying to figure out what to say, but he needs to be reminded that these things need to be removed properly.Kate freebindi <bindi@...> wrote: I would copy all of the above.

I've never cut off a relationship with a doctor who has treated me.

I have complained about what I saw as less than helpful care, but to

tell them in person or in writing that I was terminating their

services and going elsewhere...you never know when you might need

something from the doctor again some time. This is strictly JMOHO, my

rule of thumb! :-) Hope all is well, ...I know na, na, na, na,

na, feels great, so enjoy it! They do need feed back from us when

they treat us badly. You would have gotten a very very remorseful

apology from her after you stated your case so well. That would have

felt good, too.

Best wishes,

Probably not, but it's important that these people hear from us. So

-Me three!!! I will be addressing my Dr. soon about the rheumy he

sent me to. I want to get my records and then we will see. I am

going to ask for a Blood Gas analysis. And need a couple of other

things from him including my letter for Claim, I don't know what he

is going to say. I have been seeing him over a year just about every

week at first now about 1 a month. Wish me luck, I have been having

anxiety about dealing with my Dr.s, especially how to approach them

with specific things I need!! It keeps me from sleeping I toss and

turn worrying about how to talk to them. mostly because it has been

negative after talking about implants making me sick, I think they

don't believe me even though I come with a stack of previous medical

history they can have for my file. I wonder if they have even taken

the time to read any of it. I think we should be able to discuss

Dr.s as long as we are not using names?

I have "fired" doctors, on more than one occasion. I also explained why I was dumping them, and amazingly they listened to what I had to say. Sadly, it was only after I was forced to resort to desperate measures that they were willing to listen. But I agree with Molly-- it is important to do this. Physicians are in a position of power over people's lives, and should be called to account when they abuse this power. I also am very vocal expressing my gratitude for good doctors. My general practitioner is the best. I've recommended him to many people and I'll be sending him a big tin of homemade biscotti for the holidays!

Discuss docs without names? You bet! I think one of the best things about this group is sharing what we've learned about working with our doctors. Rogene

[Guest guest]

Rogene, is it appropriate for women to email each other privately, to

find out the name of a doctor, to prevent being mistreated, as well?

Not sure what the policy is on the site.

Thanks,

Sunny

Sunny,

Absolutely women can email each other privately for information regarding doctors. I encourage women to share their experiences with doctors. Sometimes naming names on the site isn't such a great idea if there is any concerns regarding libel issues, but all in all, if a woman is just sharing her own experience, which is a true life story and not making specific judgements, things should be alright. But when in doubt, don't name names.

But of course, we encourage naming names of excellent doctors! We need all the help we can get when looking for good doctors!

Re: I did it! Broke ties w/ ps!

Rogene, is it appropriate for women to email each other privately, to find out the name of a doctor, to prevent being mistreated, as well?Not sure what the policy is on the site.Thanks,Sunny >> Discuss docs without names?

Sunny, I think Patty answered your question very well. We need to share . . .but we need to be careful at the same time. . .just common sense!
