Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Have you found someone to take the stitches out? Some doctors don't want any part of working on someone who they didn't perform the surgery on, so maybe before you totally write this one off, find out if someone else will remove your stitches.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 hi Sis, yes, my regular doctor is more than willing to continue care he said. He just thought that when the stitches are ready the nurse practioner can take them out - he said he'd assess if there was any infection, how it was healing, etc. He also said he was very sorry to hear about my experience. When I went for my physical in the fall, he had said that if a woman has an opportunity to remove her implants, she should, because they are better off, even if they 'feel fine'. He is soo great - he is a rare, rare find - he even advocates juicing. It is nice to give a doctor a thumb's up > > > > I have received a few calls, and did speak to the manager today. > We > > talked for nearly an hour - she wants me to give their office > > another chance.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Wow, . You are amazing. That is a very healthy decision you made.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 , ly, I am astonished that this PS is going to these lengths. What is up with that? What could possibly be her motivation? Did she do something she thought was legally incriminating? Did she promise to do something and then not deliver? Did she jeopardize your explant in some way that might be discovered by some other doctor? I just can't figure this one out. Something sounds just really fishy to me, but I am not sure why.... It's just that most PS's don't act this way. The words that come to mind are "childish," "immature," egotistical." Why the fed-ex apology? What does she think you will do? Maybe report her? (I would). Wow, talk about drama!!!! Ugh! At one time I was hoping that we could add a good Chicago PS to our list, but my hopes are seriously dashed about that! Patty repeated contact by ps's office I have received a few calls, and did speak to the manager today. We talked for nearly an hour - she wants me to give their office another chance. She apologized profusely and basically relayed that the ps doesn't always think before she speaks, and doesn't know what she intended by saying 'we cried over your body because you had a beautiful result and NOW look at you'. Basically, we went in circles about her 'caring about me and respecting me and never wanting to hurt me' She asked me to be a 'teacher' and help the ps learn from this, and speak to her on Monday. She admitted it was alot to ask a patient. I stressed that this is about her having a huge issue with explant without reimplantation, and she better start referring these cases who come to her, and didn't appreciate being deceived in the process of choosing her. According to the staff, she is 'devastated, and astonished ' that this happened. Astonished is pretty amusing, considering you can't really 'spin' what she said into something else. I mentioned all the comments right before surgery and of course, the mgr could not defend anything. She is a lovely person, so it was fine to speak to her. She kept claiming the ps has such a great heart, and is a great person. I just said ' I don't buy that but it's irrelevant, I pay for skill and professionalism, I never thought she'd win an award for her personality' I also made it clear I do not trust her, and pointed out conflicting info she gave me. I let them know they mislead me about her explant experience.I was repeatedly told that she is 'very scared' for my outcome and it's a 'very complicated' healing process (???) so I need to think about coming back.I am getting a formal fedex-d apology tomorrow. I let her know I will reply in my time, but I am focusing on my healing and can no longer engage in this drama - she crossed a line.She put the medical assistant on, and she implored me to think of medical questions - so, as I posted separately, she gave me a run down of how they do post op care. She offered to take the stitches out for me in 4 wks, even if i get care elsewhere in the meantime. I thought I should keep that option open until I could think about it further, because she said it could be when the ps is not there, - also, she could even look at me next week to see how I am healing. I said 'let me think about it, thank you for offering'.Then, as if she thought better of her offer, she told me she'd have to check with the ps though, to make sure it was ok with her that she'd be seeing me and that she couldn't keep it from her afterall. I interupted her to just forget it, I don't need anything from her, and let's not put you in the middle of drama. I need to move on. She insisted on discussing this further with the mgr then. Anyhow, I don't want to continue putting energy into this. How dysfunctional. The last thing I want is the ps' assistant going to her and asking if she can see me, as if I NEED something from her or as if I am 'admitting' that she is the only one to give me proper care. I was just keeping my option open of having someone remove breast stitches who does it all the time, but now it doesn't sound worth it. they've exhausted me with rehashing everything! But now, I have at least gone on record with the practice mgr, and we'll see what this letter brings. Any questions? Get answers on any topic at Answers. Try it now.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 , Sure, get the fed-x'd letter, but if it were me, I would move on from there, like you have decided. I wouldn't spend too much time talking to the managers and assistants-- that just perpetuates the drama and the connection. Your PS sounds psychologically unstable, or else guilty of something. Could she have lied about something that could get her into trouble? Does she have proper credentials? She is way over the top. Your doc sounds great. Count your blessings and move on. Your life is waiting! Bindi repeated contact by ps's office I have received a few calls, and did speak to the manager today.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 hi Patty, I know - I can't figure out why no one is dropping this either. If she is so well known and she has her name in a magazine every month, why is she worried about me? When I suggested that people have left her in the past for her running her mouth off, the mgr was very quiet. I kept thinking that if they are thinking I would sue her, they would have record showing that they tried to give me care but I refused, in case something went wrong.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Perhaps the reason why she is worried IS because she's well known and has her name in a magazine every month, and doesn't want bad publicity. Or it could be that she's worried about being sued and is Fed-Exing the apology or whatever so she has proof of sending it to you. There will be a paper trail, and I wonder if they checked off that someone has to sign for the letter instead of simply leaving it on your doorstep if no one is home.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 , dear, A stirred pot....gosh, I don't remember any more than that! I call it silicone brain! But it has to do with...no one in this grand 'hissy-fit' seems to be able to drop it! Including you! It could have been so simple, handled quietly in a private conversation between you and Dr. Plastic Surgeon. Men would have settled this 'immediament,' in my poor French. I've always liked that particular quality in men, that they 'keep their eye on the ball.' Somehow you and Dr. Plastic Surgeon set each other off. This often means there's a greater similarity between the parties than might appear on the surface. I'm not intending to be insulting here, , just blunt. Maturing is a long slow process, and many of us women didn't have good role models; my mother was an alcoholic 'girl' who never grew up! I had to learn how from others. Both you and Dr. Plastic Surgeon somewhere deep down are not very secure. I want to give you each a hug, or...perhaps a 'time out!' Does anyone else want to change the subject? Not from 's healing, but from the 'did, too,' 'did not,' 'did, too,' 'did not,' dialogue that's been absorbing most of the energy of the group?? Come on, ! How are you coming in reading Quantum Healing? I bought it and have started...I bought it because I looked it up after you mentioned it, and found it looked interesting!

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 hi Sis, I just came home and got the letter - it was at the door, so I didn't need to sign. Yup, it totally is a 'just in case she's sued letter' - it's NOT an apology, it makes me sound hysterical and irrational - ie 'refusing treatment' that type of stuff. She knows I am upset and hurt, but I have to remember I need care. She needs to make sure I don't have a seroma, this is an urgent and dangerous situation, blah blah blah. She also claims she tried reaching me many times and left several messages. Just ONE in reality was left by her. It's pure CYA stuff - I'm sure her lawyer proofed it as well. Now they need to go away. > > > > > > , > > > ly, I am astonished that this PS is going to these > lengths. > > What is up with that?

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 , you crack me up. I am going to wrestle that copy of Quantum Healing out of your hands for comparing me to the Wicked Witch ouch, I forget I musn't use my arms like that. Short of changing my number and moving I can't quite help them leaving messages and letters - and let's face it, I DID have to talk to the manager, THAT is the constructive thing to do. I am quite content on my new path, but this IS the place to vent afterall, and warn other women. If you don't like venting, you should join the Cyber Chess Club. A great deal of maturity, mon chere, , IS standing up for oneself. L'Chaim, you upstart PS I haven't actually started Quantum Healing yet, I watched a video on it and am finishing two other books first - what do you think? --- In , Crocker <dwcrn@...> wrote: > > , dear, > A stirred pot....gosh, I don't remember any more than that!

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Gawd, don't you just hate this continuing drama. Doesn't this just drain you mentally and emotionally? Can you check a caller ID before answering the phone? These are the people I need the least in my life, the ones who continually create chaos and drama.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 , I find your post very invalidating and hurtful. To call what has been through a " hissy fit " reduces her situation merely to a " cat fight " . If asserting oneself to protect against abuse makes you uncomfortable, then maybe that's what could be said...not to put down what has done for herself. and giving a healthy example for others to follow. It takes maturity to face what's really going on and to deal with it directly and honestly. That's what is doing, I believe. This whole topic has been a wonderful chance for women to empower themselves. Somehow, I think you missed that. You sound very bitter and cutting in your remarks. Onward in the spirit of freedom to express one's feelings, in a safe manner. God bless everyone, Sunny > > , dear, > A stirred pot....gosh, I don't remember any more than that!

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 , clearly you need to have peace now. I really feel for ya! Take whatever step you need to, and then surround yourself with loving, supportive folks. You deserve it! I'm praying for your p.s., as we " speak " ...God knows her troubles and can help her...you have behaved in a manner that will facilitate healing for her, if she sees what's going on. If not now, you certainly have planted a huge seed that will grow in her with God's watering. He knows when we're ready to hear and change. You're a courageous woman! Keep on Keeping On!
