Aunty B and The Battle With The WANGSTER

Jul 16, 2010 22:59

I've been feeling ill and in a good bit of pain lately. In fact, quite a lot of pain. Long story short--a kidney infection so bad it requires TWO antibiotics. Since I can't see Dr K after work I had to get in line at 7:45 am and wait for the doors to open for a chance to get in early. And Dr. Wang the Incompetent was there. The one who told me "you ( Read more... )

I agree. Part of health is comfort and understanding and trust and the WangKer in question is not giving it.

If you don't fight for your medical rights....who will??

My point exactly. Further to that. This is not the first time you have had this condition. Medical history should make clear you know your body's reactions and that should be taken into account. You are the one in the body and you rather than statistics should be able to guide them towards your own cure so to speak.

Craptastic bedside manner.

There's something incredibly wrong when the patient is a better diagnostician than the doctor. Good lord.

Oy vey - I'm sorry about the kidney stones - yikes 0_0 I have not had them myself, but I know a lot of people who have.

These days, I'm convinvced that hospitals are run by corporate money grabbers called bureaucrats. I don't know what that says about me, but let's just say I've had my share of hospital woes. I'm glad your female doctor is good and willing to help though - goes to show that there are good people in this world :)

I had a massive Struvite stone (a stone filled with bacteria) about the size of my thumbnail that was blasted with shockwaves--it made tones of LITTLE stones--jagged little stones--and they aren't all gone. I will so miss my female doctor, but if I can't see here there's no damn point in going to the practice. His last missed diagnosis landed me in a CAT scan at 3am in agony...he refused to believe in the three large stones that had log-jammed above the bladder and were blocking off my right kidney. I wouldn't trust him in a game of Operation much less putting a bandaid on a dog's ass...
