Dr. Know it all!

Well, the appointment with the orthopedic doctor didn't go as planned (or at least as I had planned). Also, did you know that they spell Orthopedic, ORTHOPAEDIC??? Zach and I were both thinking 'are we morons?' "Is that really how you spell it?" Apparently it's the "FORMAL" spelling...
Anyway, Dr. P was REALLY rude to me! Maybe I'm overly sensitive but I left crying and wanted to hit someone! Zach didn't understand how or why I was feeling that way but I've been to So many doctors and I just want this fixed!

So, I'll start at the beginning. In 5th grade I was diagnosed with Scoliosis (curvature of the spine). My mother took me to all kinds of doctors and specialists to find out what we could do. I had it a lot worse than anyone else in my family. To make a long story short, ALL of the doctors said it was too bad for a brace, but not quite bad enough for surgery. They said if it started to hurt to come back and see them.

IT'S HURTING NOW!

So, my scoliosis specialist (whom I LOVED) in Little Rock recommended that I come see Dr. P here in Tulsa since I don't live in Arkansas anymore.

Dr. P thinks he is God (I think).
He was so mean! First, I explained to him why I was there. I guess he didn't like my explanation because he put his hand up in my face and told me I skipped like 3 years! NO, I said, I didn't see anyone for that amount of time! Then, he questioned me about being a diabetic. I said "I'm NOT diabetic, I had gestational diabetes and I have fertility problems which is why I take Metformin." I guess he didn't believe me b/c he put that I am diabetic on my chart. I said... (not that he really needed to know this) DH and I tried for a long time to have a baby. I don't have regular cycles and Met is prescribed to regulate them! Then he went on and on to tell me what Met is "actually" for. I said "I know, (about to cry at this point) but my gyno gave it to me so that I will ovulate! (again, none of his freaking business). There were several other things he did that upset me but I will spare you! I will say, though, that I think it is completely awful to LAUGH at a patient!

Ok, so now I'm rambling at all of my bloggy friends... sorry.

The outcome:
Please go have an MRI and come back to see me!
Oh, and you're obese so try to lose some weight.

I can't have an MRI right now (I can but I am choosing not too). It was going to cost over 800 dollars WITH my AWESOME insurance and I really do have good insurance. So, hints my "weightloss" blog. I am going to get some weight off and see if I feel better.

In other news,
Bailey's one year check-up is today. Time for the dreaded MMR. I hate when she gets shots! But, I watched "Private Practice" last night and I'd rather my child NOT have measles either! I'll let you know how it goes. She normally does well with her shots... nothing a little milk won't cure :)
