This was NOT my regular doc, actually was trying her out to see if she would become a regular -- tired of driving an hour to see a good doc. So I'm still in the market for an internist.

I'm so so sorry. I had an evil nurse when I was in labor with my daughter ... I won't go into it, but just evil (but she was screamed at by 2 family members, my midwife & myself). I am one who can biologically still have children and CHOOSE not to. I was actually in shock that this doctor was a woman... I would think that she would be well-versed at least in the appearance of caring for women's issues. Sad sad, pathetic ignorant thing. Where's her address.... I'll gladly send her an "I chose to adopt" letter. Kiss my fanny you sad cow.... you know those brainless creatures that chew on their cud all day... since you don't have a compassionate brain-cell left, just go eat grass. <BR/><BR/>Big Hugs to Mrs. Taiwan On! Claps & snaps for making it through this completely unnecessary, unprovoked, ignorant, person supposedly a doctor (I think her stress levels need checking). ~Sigh~ <BR/><BR/>p.s. I told my husband that if they ever find anything resembling cancer... these are gone as well... I completely understand your choice. I'm glad that you are healthy and here... we care about you and you deserve way more than this doctor (okay I'm going to stop talking about her now). Just remember how much you are loved & kids are good stress! =0)Precious Wonders and Little Monkeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093884006358538142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591350507271655442.post-6326594592421559942008-10-26T07:09:00.000-07:002008-10-26T07:09:00.000-07:00wow, i would definitely write a letter to the Dr. ...wow, i would definitely write a letter to the Dr. and "CC" it to the Office Manager or Hospital Director informing her how hurtful she was and very uneducated she sounded. You should definitely do this to make her aware of her poor judgements and avoid her from doing this to someone else in the future. And believe me, if i was a Hospital Administrator, I would want to know what my Dr.'s are saying to their patients, b/c they're not just the Dr.'s patients, but the hospitals and the hospitals reputation.<BR/><BR/>So sorry you had to go through this. I had a "i'm so stressed" moment w/ two seperate doctors, one my childrens pediatrician and the other my internal medicine doctor and they were both SO compassionate and understanding how hard it is w/ 3 young children. Never once did they question what i did (adopt our 3rd)!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your moment.<BR/>nicoleNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01226127342482354075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591350507271655442.post-75507383572808884022008-10-26T01:11:00.000-07:002008-10-26T01:11:00.000-07:00I would have said thank you so much for your time ...I would have said thank you so much for your time (and then the rest wouldn't be appropriate for a PG blog :) Seriously!<BR/>That is unbelievable.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342109839956458589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591350507271655442.post-73540510941230486252008-10-25T22:39:00.000-07:002008-10-25T22:39:00.000-07:00Doctors should have to pass an exam to check for c...Doctors should have to pass an exam to check for complete ignorance & tact before they get their license...JFohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03914358983706787904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591350507271655442.post-53996039448661279272008-10-25T20:41:00.000-07:002008-10-25T20:41:00.000-07:00Un-Be-Lievable!!

Don't ask the new doctor to do it. This will give you the opportunity to send a nice Thank-you card at the same time and it should read something to this effect.<BR/>Dear Dr. So & So,<BR/>I would like to take this opportunity to Thank you for opening your mouth and showing me what a lovely bedside manner you have. It is obvious to me that while they might have taught you what you needed to know in Medical school that you failed what you needed to learn in the area of Doctor/Patient relations and psych, which by the way most Doctors find to be a very helpful while growing their practice. I won't be needing your services nor will I be referring you to any of my friends or relatives, which by the way I have TONS! And I mean like TONS. You have lost out BIG, like HUGE!!! My advice to you Dr. So & So is to go back to school and retake that course in Human relations and you might want to brush up on your MANNERS as well!<BR/>Have a wonderful day and I wish the best, the VERY best with your practice. I have a feeling your going to need it.<BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>One of the bravest, strongest and proudest Mother, wife, sister & friend who you will ever have had the pleasure meeting...<BR/>Okay, so my punctuation and grammar may be a little off, but I think you get where I'm going with this!lorabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583915412240656644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591350507271655442.post-73539948296021348172008-10-25T19:11:00.000-07:002008-10-25T19:11:00.000-07:00I would be in too much shock to speak but I guaran...I would be in too much shock to speak but I guarantee I would be finding a new Dr.Tamerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16884291276983828293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591350507271655442.post-86471327462370474362008-10-25T18:30:00.000-07:002008-10-25T18:30:00.000-07:00Tell her that you can sit there and educate her bu...Tell her that you can sit there and educate her but then you'll have to bill her.

This, however, is very disturbing and I completely felt your discomfort while reading it. 2 weeks after we picked up J someone ask me, "So why did you want another child?" I was so shocked and caught off guard (AND in such a bad place) my jaw just fell open and I responded, "I don't know." It was NOT what I needed to be asked, especially at such a stressful time. It wasn't even the question but the way it was asked, as if I was ridiculous for adding a child to my family. How did I deal? Just went on as if the question was never asked. But if it was my doctor I'd switch doctors. You need to be comfortable with her.
