Guest guest Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Thats right! I totally forgot Robbin was so smart. I mean of course I know he IS smart but you know. Smart smart! That is insane! My oldest is a wonderful reader too! Gabby is very smart too. I think even if I didnt send her to kindergarten this yr. And did the following I think she would be fine,maybe by then to first but I figure if I put her in public school she may as well start in kinder. She is smart just very hyper and has some other issues going on. I jus dont want to throw her into it.Plus she was in soccer and will be going in ballet so she gets to socialize plus she has sisters and cousins. I would just die sendn her off on the bus.I would probly cry all day.She can be a handful but I dont know what id do without her all day. Im stocking up on supplys so we will be prepared either way.They other home school and also have some other type programs some cost some dont.I think by law she dosnt have to be in school until next school yr.Argh!Guess its enough time to figure it out.lol.The othe Hi Everyone!!!! Hey guys!!! I just wanted to check-in,and say HI!!! I have really missed you guys!!!!!. I have been really sick . Thursday I ended up going to the ER. I couldnt stop vomiting and the pain was un-real.It is in my upper stomach almost in the middle and a little to the right. I had alot of green bile and couldnt stop puking and heaving.My mom was going to call 911 so I gave in and went on my own. Anyways,I had a jerk of a doctor and nurse(will tell you in just a minute)They put me in priority and wile I was waiting the nurse gave me an anti-neas med that disolved on my tongue.It was so bad I had to be pushed in and out in a weelchair.So,the idiot doc thought I might have gallstones and ordered an ultrasound.Thannk god the u/s lady was nice. Took awile for that and she asked if I had heart problems and I told her about my nerves and all that,asked if she could even see the heart area and she said no that she was looking at my internal organs and she was just asking out of curiosity.?end of that part.So,finally after a few hrs the doc came in and said they seen something and he thinks it may be Gallstones. I was suppose to see my pcp the next day(fri)but she isnt there on friday so I will be calling tomorow for an appt.He says I need a HIDA scan to completly rule out the Gallbladder,so for now it is that stupid word " of unknown etiology " . He says they dont have access to the HIDA machine in the middle of the night,but I think he just had it in for me.haha.he was a true jerk!!!! So,I am on a low fat,no fried food,meat,etc... but that is ok since anything I eat upsets my stomach anyway.So,for now I am eating very light and ridiculously healthy. Maybe I will lose some pounds.hehe.... Hello to all the new members!!!! I am so so behind but will try to say hello to each of you as soon as I can.I have been in bed or on the couch all day,to sick to even check my email on my phone.I know I have missed alot but I will eventually catch up.Just gimme a month or two! hehe..Ok,well back to my jerk doc story.... So,we get to the ER and I finally get to see a doc but he was a rude rude jerk!!! Sorry guys,I have never been talked to this bad. He started to ask me the regular old er questions and we get to the part of diseases,etc.. and I start to tell him my dx's and he dosnt have a clue what im saying..This I could tell and tried to offer as simple but detailed of an explanationin he middle of crying and screaming in pain,oh and vomiting,and he says ok,ok,and gestures his hand (like you would gesture to say " Cmon,move it along " or Hurry it up,all moving his eyes and stuff)letit go then he says what do you do for a living and my mom says that im disabled and the doctor looks at me and I say im disabled and really sick and he goes off saying, " You people that say your disabled its ridiculous,and you use it as much as you can,just let everything go and blame it on disabilty,blah blah,and how these days we will find any little thing and say Diability!!! Yes.this is real!!! Can you believe this? I was beyond mad and he knew I was having a hard time talking to.So,I yelled at him and told him that he couldnt label m,e and that he dosnt know me and that I was there for help and not to be treated like crap!!!! So,after this he says fine,and says he would get me some pain medicine and I told hime I didnt want pain medicine,and he says Oh,Really?Like hes in shock,and I said No I dont,and he says what do I want then?And I say I want to stop puking and I want my stomach to stop hurting.Well.I ended up getting some cuz my mom but the minute he walked away I was telling my mom and rene that I wanted to leave and I really was.I have never been treated this poorly.I felt so bad that this jerk of a doctor could even be a doc,I swear it felt like I was in an Outer Limits epesode.So,then after the nurse takes over to do an I.V. He was already rude,I think he was mad that I spoke back to the doc,but he said nothing to help or even a smile.And he starts trying to find a vein.I told him were to go but he didnt listen and he was rough and I kept telling him how bad it hurt and my mom finally said something cuz he just kept poking and jabbing it in, and he says,look,I got the needle in,it is fine,there is no reason why it would hurt and im like well it does,and he says well you have 2 options,I can take it out and re-do it or leave it,and I said if he took it out I would leave so just leave it.Arghhhh....So when I get back from the u/s my mom tells me the jerk doc came to visit and appologized and wanted to tell me.He told us that he was sorry for speaking to me that way and he didnt mean to label me but it was just that what he described was rreally all he sees all day.WTH!!!!???He says he sees so many young people that become disabled or even slightly and they give up on life and throw everything away and he shouldnt have assumed that was my case.So,I told him that I say I am disabled cuz I am and because ,like with him,most the time nobody knows what my illness is,and he says he understands.and hes very sorry,there is more but this is too long.Sorry guys.... I just had to share with you guys.It was/is such a nightmare!!!! I will write more soon.... luv ya guys!!!! hugz,cassy Stay informed, get connected and more with AOL on your phone. & nbsp; [image Removed] Stay informed, get connected and more & nbsp; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I know, they can be scary...I remember one time, before Robbin was even talking, I was contemplating the wall calendar, reflecting that I hadn't changed the month yet. He came into the room, went over to the calendar, changed the month, and walked out. Now tell me he wasn't reading my mind! I'm off to bed now, I'll be sending to you soon... Big hugs!

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Cassy, Where the hell do these drs. get off talking down to their patients? They aren't there to judge, they are there to help. They took the oath!!! I'm sure they see their share of people who come in and out of there looking for a quick fix, but those people are what my sister who works in a hospital call, frequent fliers!!! They have no idea how many of us that are disabled hate the fact that we ARE disabled!!! What we wouldn't give to be able to go out and work or do the things we all used to be able to do. People like that need to walk a mile in our shoes, live one day as us before they open their mouths to speak. As far as an apology goes, he knew he had to apologize or his ass was in trouble. I keep trying to teach both of my kids that an apology is fine, but what is even better is to think before you speak because once the words come out of your mouth they can't be taken back and the damage is done. I hope you get to feeling better dear and I would still write a letter of complaint to the head of the hospital or whoever. Who knows how many others he has done this too. They certainly don't teach bedside manner in medical school. I think it should be a mandatory class!!!! Big Hugs Peggy>> > > > ?? Hey guys!!! I just wanted to check-in?,and say HI!!!

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Oh Cassy, what a despicable thing for that doc to do to you. It doesn't matter what he sees all day, or thinks he sees, he has no right to treat anyone like that. How awful for you. And the nurse who decided the IV wasn't hurting you... ugh. Remember the story of 's Papa? While the doc was examining Papa and hurt him, and Papa let the doc know... the doc told Papa it was all in his head... with both hands, Papa whapped the doc on both sides of his head and asked "was that in your head?" Doc apologized. We need Papas to go with us to each doc/nurse encounter. LOL {{{{{{{{Cassy}}}}}}}} I hope you're feeling better. When do you see your Doc? HUGS, Challis Hi Everyone!!!! Hey guys!!!

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hi Cassy, my name is Christy.. I am a new member to MSers and I live in Glendale, AZ. I am very sorry that you had to deal with such a doctor.. I have had MS since I was nine years old (now 29). I have been in and out of wheelchairs and have suffered from many unexplained illinesses. I have fought so hard.. I worked all the time thinking I could get through anything until one day it almost killed me! Then they put me on disability. at the time I was very unhappy, I enjoyed working, I was in sales for 5yrs and a teacher for 3. I also have cancer. No matter where I go everyone says I look fine.. this is great, however, it is not so great when you say you are disabled. They look at you and try to judge. I choose to smile and look my best whenever I can. This illness takes so much away from you and I do not want it to run me and have me sitting around and moping in pitty. dont get me wrong I have my 5-10miniute pitty parties and then I go on I guess what i am trying to say is MS is a unseen illness pretty much and I believe that we will all have to face the fact that there are iggnorant people who choose not to look beyond anything but what they initially see. for instance: I went to a Neuro when I moved here, I told him that I have MS and I wanted him to see my med records and help me since I have been having a bad episode. He looked me in the eye and said, "I can tell by looking at you.. you do not have MS.." do you believe that. Then he sent me on my way. I was only there for 2 minutes!!!

How awful for you. And the nurse who decided the IV wasn't hurting you... ugh. Remember the story of 's Papa? While the doc was examining Papa and hurt him, and Papa let the doc know... the doc told Papa it was all in his head... with both hands, Papa whapped the doc on both sides of his head and asked "was that in your head?" Doc apologized. We need Papas to go with us to each doc/nurse encounter. LOL {{{{{{{{Cassy}}}}}}}} I hope you're feeling better. When do you see your Doc? HUGS, Challis Hi Everyone!!!! Hey guys!!! I just wanted to check-in ,and say HI!!! I have really missed you guys!!!!!. I have been really sick . Thursday I ended up going to the ER.I couldnt stop vomiting and the pain was un-real.It is in my upper stomach almost in the middle and a little to the right.I had alot of green bile and couldnt stop puking and heaving.My mom was going to call 911 so I gave in and went on my own.:)Anyways,I had a jerk of a doctor and nurse(will tell you in just a minute)They put me in priority and wile I was waiting the nurse gave me an anti-neas med that disolved onmy tongue.It was so bad I had to be pushed in and out in a weelchair.So, the idiot doc thought I might have gallstones and ordered an ultrasound.Thannk god the u/s ladywas nice. Took awile for that and she asked if I had heart problems and I told her about my nerves and all that,asked if she could even see the heart area and she said nothat she was looking at my internal organs and she was just asking out of curiosity.?end of that part.So,finally after a few hrs the doc came in and said they seen something and he thinks it may be Gallstones.I was suppose to see my pcp the next day(fri)but she isnt there on friday so I will be calling tomorow for an appt.He says I need a HIDA scan to completly rule outthe Gallbladder, so for now it is that stupid word "of unknown etiology". He says they dont have access to the HIDA machine in the middle of the night,but I think hejust had it in for me.haha.he was a true jerk!!!! So,I am on a low fat,no fried food,meat,etc. .. but that is ok since anything I eat upsets my stomach anyway.So,for now I ameating very light and ridiculously healthy. Maybe I will lose some pounds.hehe. ...Hello to all the new members!!!! I am so so behind but will try to say hello to each of you as soon as I can.I have been in bed or on the couch all day,to sick to evencheck my email on my phone.I know I have missed alot but I will eventually catch up.Just gimme a month or two! hehe..Ok,well back to my jerk doc story.....So,we get to the ER and I finally get to see a doc but he was a rude rude jerk!!! Sorry guys,I have never been talked to this bad. He started to ask me the regular older questions and we get to the part of diseases,etc. . and I start to tell him my dx's and he dosnt have a clue what im saying..This I could tell and tried tooffer as simple but detailed of an explanation inhe middle of crying and screaming in pain,oh and vomiting,and he says ok,ok,and gestures his hand(like you would gesture to say "Cmon,move it along" or Hurry it up,all moving his eyes and stuff)let it go then he says what do you do for a living and my mom says that imdisabled and the doctor looks at me and I say im disabled and really sick and he goes off saying,"You people that say your disabled its ridiculous,and you use itas much as you can,just let everything go and blame it on disabilty,blah blah,and how these days we will find any little thing and say Diability!!! Yes.this is real!!! Canyou believe this? I was beyond mad and he knew I was having a hard time talking to.So,I yelled at him and told him that he couldnt label m,e and that he dosnt knowme and that I was there for help and not to be treated like crap!!!! So,after this he says fine,and says he would get me some pain medicine and I told hime I didnt want painmedicine,and he says Oh,Really?Like hes in shock,and I said No I dont,and he says what do I want then?And I say I want to stop puking and I want my stomach to stop hurting.Well. I ended up getting some cuz my mom but the minute he walked away I was telling my mom and rene that I wanted to leave and I really was.I have neverbeen treated this poorly.I felt so bad that this jerk of a doctor could even be a doc,I swear it felt like I was in an Outer Limits epesode.So,then after the nurse takes overto do an I.V. He was already rude,I think he was mad that I spoke back to the doc,but he said nothing to help or even a smile.And he starts trying to find a vein.I told himwere to go but he didnt listen and he was rough and I kept telling him how bad it hurt and my mom finally said something cuz he just kept poking and jabbing it in,and he says,look,I got the needle in,it is fine,there is no reason why it would hurt and im like well it does,and he says well you have 2 options,I can take it out and re-do itor leave it,and I said if he took it out I would leave so just leave it.Arghhhh.. ..So when I get back from the u/s my mom tells me the jerk doc came to visitand appologized and wanted to tell me.He told us that he was sorry for speaking to me that way and he didnt mean to label me but it was just that what he described wasrreally all he sees all day.WTH!!!!? ??He says he sees so many young people that become disabled or even slightly and they give up on life and throw everything away and he shouldnt have assumed that was my case.So,I told him that I say I am disabled cuz I am and because ,like with him,most the time nobody knows what my illness is,and he says he understands. and hes very sorry,there is more but this is too long.Sorry guys....I just had to share with you guys.It was/is such a nightmare!!! !
