Guest guest Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 I really want to thank all who were so kind to send me emails of encouragement. I was really devastated by my rheumatologist visit. I had been so happy since seeing Dr. Baughman, I was not prepared for his response, Bob and I talked about it a lot yesterday and came to the conclusion that for one he is a Jerk. Two, that he was probably afraid to treat me because of all the things that are wrong with me and most of all he was a jerk who obviously has two standards of care one for men which is very attentive and another for women, who he appears to feel like they are all hypochondriacs. I'm going to email Dr. Baughman to see if he has ever worked with anyone in PA. I also made an appointment with my family doc who is an Internest. Rheumatologists are real slim pickings where we live. Anyway I have calmed down and not as devastated by his stupid remarks. There are all tu[es of jerks in this world and I unfortunately went to one of them. I also realized that the area of my left leg which he said I had MRSA in was the spot that I had three arthroscopies in the years before I had my total Knees done. The spot is soft and puffy because of the traumma of the arthroscopies. WellI'm a little late as usual but Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I was just to down to extend those wishes after my miserable visit with the rheumatologist. I am calmed down enough to at least have some sembalence of calm thoughts.
