Connie-Welcome In
Yup Ms. Connie....nobody cares but you.....and us too. Out in the world things are not fair. Over the last 2.5 yrs I have noticed the gap that extends between women and the Doctors. It's real...and it stinks. If we were privey to know how many ppl died/injured as a result of a Doctor's opinion, we would be shocked. I was told by my first Doc, (I'm a 47 yr old male) that I was to young for all that crap. He would dismiss almost everything I said by saying, it's all in my head, I'm to young , it's from worry. Just relax. I would be dead, if I would have stayed with him a moment longer. I have been helped and guided through some of the worst times by.........God. (it's my belief) Your treatment, from that Doc, was real bad. If it could be proven, it would cause him much trouble. As with many of the "happenings", they are covered up by the system. I keep telling myself, don't be afraid to ask away and be stern. I'm the Captain of my team(life) and I employ ppl to help ME. If I say this hurts....than this hurts!! It's hard to find a good Doc. Ask away and don't be shy. As far as your man goes.....I'm sorry that he's not more understanding of your ills. I try not to over load my wife with too much of my troubles...but without her I could not do it. I am Blessed indeed. I try to remember....nobody can understand how WE feel but our own kind. We do understand. Chin up and forward we go.
Thanks Bogie...I needed that pep talk! Been doing some bawlin' tonight 'cause I got a message on my recorder that some blood work had come back, and they want to cover a few things with me about it, and also want my blood/lab work and surgical notes from the surgery. I got in too late to reach the doctor's office, so I'll have to call tomorrow and see if I can find out what they're wanting to talk to me about if I can catch them during their 8- 12 noon hours. This was blood work that I insisted on; they had done labs the week before, but I found out they only tested for cholestral levels....not anything about infections or anemia. I insisted they draw more and check, because I knew something's goin' on that ain't right! I thought perhaps it was anemia due to the blood loss during the surgery. I had to have 2 units, and they kept that port in my neck for 6 days thinking I was gonna have to have a 3rd. But.....there's been some change in the last couple of months. Enough of a change for my PAC to want my hospital labs and surgery notes! I"m trying not to panic! I just don't understand why I have to do all the requests. Why don't the doctors think of these things! Must we doctor ourselves? It didn't use to be this way! Thanks again for the shoulder! Connie Bogie <bogdankl@...

I 'm here with you Connie,I've been bawling too! But because I've been turned down twice now for SSD, and docs won't let me go to work. Cheryl connie Turner <connieque@...
