HUH? I pass the screening and she's going to block me and not " waste the surgeon's time " (literally she said that) because I dared to ask questions? They are going to " meet " tomorrow and let me know if they will deign to see me to waste the surgeon's time. At this point I wonder how I can trust a doctor with my life who would let his director be so rude to someone and who would refuse treatment because they didn't like my personality? I just don't get it. I can understand medical stuff preventing it ... but I asked questions so I'm confrontational? She said they " choose their patients carefully " as they have a team approach and like everyone to like everyone .... it makes me wonder if that's why this surgeon's success rate is so high ... they refuse anyone they don't like. I'm pretty discouraged ... she'll call me by 2 p.m. tomorrow ... but it feels like a no-win for me either way. Either they refuse me because they don't like my personality or they " let " me come in and I know ahead of time they don't like me. Does this sound like junior high school or what? I seriously can't believe this woman ... or that it's sent me into such a tailspin. I was so delighted to get the referral without the six-month optifast requirement ... and now it's going to tank again? I don't get it. Upset is such a small word here. Thanks for letting me vent.
