Re: Steve Goldstein's Post of Today

[Guest guest]

I think most of us have grown weary of the verbose, feather puffing,

my doc is better than yours crud.

As a medical profesional I have had patients that I have sent on

their merry way--because there was nothing I could do to please them

anyway. A doc has that right too--even if it seems ruthless. I know

I steer away from patients that criticize and question at every turn

that you begin to feel like a moron.

Steve was happy with his doc, Kay hated him, so what? I don't see

unsafe or negligent practice here. It sounds like he is offering a

more flexible selection than most surgeons. It is up to everyone to

be their personal advocate and get the information of every option

available and pursue what they want.

So everyone get off their high horse---you like or hate someone, so

be it. Get over it. Everyone has an entirely different experience

with the same doc. Look at Ren, she made a slip in surgery--most

unfortunate for the slipee---but the majority who had surgery with

her, have raved over her. The moral is: the docs are human!! Just

like we are--and sometimes the chemistry is bad.

JMHO---I am not taking sides in this junk---let's move on!
