I know she would never do this to you, but I bet she knows people who would. That he couldn't step back, look you in the eye, and give you a moment of compassion is heart-breaking.

Okay I've vented. That aside....calming down now...today was MY yearly. I got a new doc and she is WONDERFUL!! I'm not a new patient but she was new to the facility. She sat down and gave me her short story and then asked for mine. I don't think I've had any "connection" with a doctor since my childhood doc. That's a loooooooooong time.Kenya G.

I can not even imagine... my sister died a year and a half ago... some how it always seems to come up in doctor's appointments. I suppose due to how the stress affects my diabetes and other health issues (I have migraines as well). And while I've received some shocking reactions (one of my doctors cried)...nothing like that. I wouldn't have filled the prescription or gone back either.

The doctor said, "it's unfortunate. (pause) It's very common. (pause) Would you like to go ahead and schedule your D&C now?"<br /><br />Then, the ultrasound tech who verified there was no heartbeat before my D&C said, "Good luck with your procedure."<br /><br />The ONLY one who hugged me and said SORRY was the young, childless FEMALE doctor who did the D&C. <br /><br />I'm not sure if I will EVER go back to that practice, even with the nice female dr, but if I do, it will only be with a female dr. In my experience, they at least show basic human compassion. (The male dr, btw, delivered my twins!)championm2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/14867731446440889107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1358549399838555786.post-74375089383443087862012-03-07T00:57:33.180-05:002012-03-07T00:57:33.180-05:00Oh my goodness!!
