Guest guest Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hello to all and Happy Passover! I just wanted to post about my latest doctor appointment. As you know I've been battling Vertigo for several weeks and have gone to my PC doc and then to PT and then PT wanted me cleared for Vestibular Vertigo Rehab. That's the position related vertigo. So I went to see my usual ENT. He had a 4th year medical student in the office and that student started my exam with many questions. One of his comments was ( and I'm sort of quoting) With your COPD do you often get dizzy? Well, I really gave it to him with both barrels...I said that as a doctor he should not ever assume the need for ozygen! I told him I found it offensive that he's just assumed without simply asking" May I ask why you need the O2?" I told him that if he had read the medication list I had supplied and the medical conditon sheet that I had updated in the chart he would have seen my DX of NSIP. When the main guy walked in I told him about his student's error in judgment. I figure if he's teaching him, so am I. The ENT did not make any excuses but the tension in the room was palpable!!! So, I do have Benign Vestibular Vertigo and I can go to PT again!! Happy week-end to everyone. -- Z fibriotic NSIP/05 Z 64, fibriotic NSIP/o5/PA And “mild” PH/10/07 and Reynaud’s too!! No, NSIP was not self-inflicted…I never smoked!
