Guest guest Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Merry, They were afraid an oximeter would scare you ????? "SMACK" after telling you you have a fatal disease they don't want you to know if your body is getting enough oxygen.. That is crazy and scary.. You are in charge of your body and only God knows whats going to happen with it. so get yourself an oximeter and watch your sats. IF you need more 02 to stay above 90 so be it.. at leastyou'll still have a functioning brain and heart... OH I get so mad at some stupid things Dr's say to us.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Yes, thank you go figure. Its one of the things that makes me so angry. Well you dont look sick. is another one lol I am starting to speak up more and more since the male doctor I went to when I told him I was frustrated didnt even listen to the rest but immediately turned to my husband and said so sex is a problem for you two he just looked at him and said do you need a hearing aide? she isnt talkinga bout that at all...go figure so I only go to the PA now and she is wonderful she is the one who sent me to the pulmonary doctor who found out what I had... thanks so much merry > > Thank you all for the urls and information.
