Jo, I just heard about her diagnosis today, and that was the first thing I thought. "Maybe she will understand how much that hurt." None of did anything to deserve this.

Well girls the co worker was lucky. He musta felt the heat because he didnt say anything that sent me over the edge. Just asked if he learned all this does this mean a pay raise. OMG!! I looked at him and told him this means he gets to keep his job. That shut him up!
beccad I had a simular experence with my former boss. I was told I just didnt have enough faith that I would be healed if I believed more. He is in the fire roasting right now. Hes a pretty tall n solid dude so he'll burn for awhile. I do know that for months I was very bitter towards him. He did some pretty lousey things to me and my family, But after awhile I did let that go. I had to so it wouldnt eat at me anymore. I have forgotten it but I have moved on.

Hi everyone been a long time since I threw anything in the fire....so it's a big one! I gotta throw the NP who didn't hear what I was telling her on the phone about my swelling and pain - so she sends me for what I thought was an US - get to the clinic on Friday and get a surprise mammo - I can't wear a bra....I'm in more pain than when I called them last week, and I actually missed work today - pain and swelling plus bra = disaster....
So in the fire goes all the medical people that only hear what they wanna hear - and the mammo machine can in too, but only for a minute, cause we really need that.

Puala-Sandy doubly verified what I'm saying. If you get someone that is shooting darts. Be prepared.Their are analpores that want to be recognized at meetings or conferences as "the expert". One conference, I was at this happened. The "Know it all" quoted a book. The main speaker said " Well people grow in their knowledge" The guy still challenged the speaker, He didn't want to embarass the challenger. He finally said would you look at the name of the author?
Evereyone in the room knew it was the person on the podium.

SAS, that was funny and hopefully "audience guy" kept his mouth shut after appropriate acknowledgement to the speaker.

Tossing another Dr office assistant into the fire. I wentt to a new Gyn. today. Before I got to see the doctor, her medical tech, that too my b.p. (who wanted to my are which lymphnodes were removed, even when I said no shoe couldn't use that arm.) When going over my medical history and upon NOT listening to me, proceeds to tell me that she needs to call to schedule my next "screening mammogram". I really thought that I would blow a gasket right there. I then proceded to explain to her AGAIN, that I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO MAMMO. I will not be getting the tissue expanders mammoed, and I don't think that the doctor will mind if I skip my mammo this year. She then walks out mumbling that this doctor wants everybody over 40 to have a mammo.
When the doctor comes in the room, she recognizes me from the hospital where I work and she deliveres babies. She does not know my complete history because she has not treated me or worked directly previously. We talk about what I have been through over the past year and never mentions the part about needing a mammo. Then does the lower part of her gyn exam, goes to do the breast exam and just looks and says that she will let my breast surgeon and oncologist take care of my breast issues for now. I could tell that she was uncomfortable, but not my problem. Maybe I should throw her in to? What do you think?

beccad - Absolutely throw her in. She is an idiot. My onc and GYN both do my breast exams. I no longer see my BS so he is out of the picture. I am glad that I have two different doctors looking out for me.

Jo... Why do you not see the breast surgeon? I want to stop seeing him too... But my oncologist told me I had to see him for five years. He is a nice guy... But doesn't bring anything to the party now if you know what I mean.

I find it amazing that an GYN and assistant could be so insensitive and so unknowledgable. I go to my oncologist. I never saw the breast surgeon after surgery and plan on keeping it that way. I agree with voraciousreader. What could BS bring to party at this point.

I plan to keep seeing my surgeon. I find he is the most knowledgeable of all my DR's about the changes due to radiation and those due to the healing processes.

i was told i would not see my surgeon again unlesss i need surgery again..otherwise my mammogram results go to my doc and I call her and get the news on the phone where i can potentially it in my own office!

voraciousreader - There really is no need to see my breast surgeon anymore. I have a great MO who can take care of all my needs. He was trained at MD Anderson here in Texas. That is the BEST cancer center in the state. My BS told me I have an open appt if I ever need him again. I do like the idea of one doctor seeing me and ordering all my tests. The only other one I see is my family doctor.
Goes to show how much differently things are done in each part of the country.

Jo,
Even done in different parts of the state, (oh wait, we are bigger than some countries.) i really i\liked the new Gyn, but I guess I will just have to put up with the staff, or maybe that one will be gone when I go back next year. Yeah, that's it she will p#$$ off someone else, like a mommy to be and they will have to let her go. I know the founding Dr. of this practice does not put up with any S#$^ if you know what I mean.

Jo...Next week, I have my 6 month appointment with the BS and then three months after that I have my 6 month check up with my MO with my GYN somewhere in between... Saw my internist this week for my check up and flu shot. I'm thinking after this 6 month check up with the BS, I'm giving him his walking papers. I spend all of 5 minutes with him and he gets to admire his work. I think he gets more out of the appointment than I do. Really. He's terrific and well respected and I think there are other women who could benefit more from his time...which BTW...it is so hard to get an appointment with him, in the first place because he's such a rock star...... I made my decision. Done! Scratch one appointment off the calendar.....
Into the fire today goes future appointments with the BS! Gee, that feels GREAT!

In the team of BS and PS the lead doc is the BS. I never saw my PS after day d/c last visit.
I see BS every six months----------I help pay his rent
There are times, that I want to make an appointment with PS to talk about errors. LIKE MAKING ME TOO FRIGGING BIG when I asked for smaller---------told last draw in recovery I didn't want Lifesaver boobs, Told staff to remind him , I didn't want life saver boobs---------what did I get lifesaver boobs
. AND that he did NO teaching about what to expect. How to respond to problems etc. I could have made my own appointment---------but I'm still pissed. I need to go in there a ask him calmly why he made several hundred cc's bigger than I asked for. The pain , discomfort. the falling in the armpits, the breast LE armpit LE and upper inner are LE...........Unwatched could turn into full blown LE.
I am limited in the house work I can do, b/c the areas swell. I stop. Doesn't matter can take a couple of weeks to clear up...........................INTO THE FIRE________GOES PS who don't follow directions------let's through in their testicles in for good measure

voraciousreader. My BS is amazing and so darn cute but like you said about yours, he does not bring anything new to the party. Whenever I had an appt with him, I would have to sometimes wait up to 2 hours past my appt time to see him. He was well worth it but like the idea of one less apt.0

I want to throw in a "know it all b*tch" that is on one of the threads I used to follow. She has personally attacked me numerous times and does not see it nor will she ever admit she is wrong. She calls herself a professional but I would say otherwise. I am soooo darn pissed I had to come here to get rid of the anger. I don't understand why there has to be cyber bullies out there. Can't we just all get along? Done ranting for now. Thanks for listening.

Hi Ladies..........................a change of subject, but I am so angry, and sick and tired of all the cover-ups going in in this country with regard to "sexual predators", and little children...................Now it is a PSU............................I read the Grand Jury report on what Sandusky did to those little boys (now men in their 20's), and can't believe that the "higher ups" in that university did not go to the police.........................WHY to save the reputation of a friggin football team, and a university........................They should take that bastard, put him in prison, and let Bubba, and his boys have their way with him.........................it is the saddest thing I ever read, other then the scandal with the Catholic church, and I am a catholic.......................REady ladies.............................lets throw all the higher up freaks at PSU into the fire, and watch them all burn to a crisp..........................I am disgusted, especially PSU was one of the "best known" institutions in Pa........................my grandson graduated from there, and he is sick with the whole thing, as well as other alumnus..............................Burn you bastards burn.

By the way.....................that goes for Joe Paterno too................................he failed miserably in regard to this incident.....................he knew what was going on......................and I ask...........what would you do as far as "follow-up" after you told your "Athletic Director about what happened....................wouldn't you double check again to make sure he called at least the Campus Police...................................I have seen them expel kids from universities for having a girl in their room, or for underage drinking................................but sex with 8 year olds falls through the cracks.......................Joe has to go too..........................Get a big broom, and sweep ;them all out the door.................

duckyb1...Here's a GREAT book to read:
http://www.amazon.com/Beer-Circus-Big-Time-Undergraduate-Education/dp/0805038647
Beer and Circus, written by retired Indiana University professor Murray Sperber.
My son attended Indiana University when they fired Bobby Knight. Looking back...THAT scandal seems quaint...But if you read Murray Sperber's book...what is occurring at Penn State is predictable.
Also, have you noticed that regarding the Church Pedophile scandal, after a decade of investigation, a "higher up," Bishop Finn has first been indicted.
http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2011/10/kansas_city_bishop_robert_finn.html
Boston Globe reporters wrote a book on that scandal:
http://www.amazon.com/Betrayal-Investigative-Staff-Boston-Globe/dp/0316075582
I read the book and was SICK after reading it!

Jo...One of the things that I love best about the internet is that I can ignore most things, and that includes people. Try not to let someone disturb you. I think there are folks out there who look for vulnerable people and I'm sure this is as good a place as any to find people who need to be comforted more than they need to be bullied. Unfortunately, some of us find ourselves in the clutches of intimidating low lives. I always say to myself that they have a bigger problem than WE do....I won't diminish how brutal people can get and how they can ATTEMPT and sometimes succeed at emotionally crippling some people, but I will maintain and take comfort in believing that there are MORE kind hearted people on the internet who are more interested in emotionally healing our brethren than hurting them. Hang in there! And into the fire goes those low lives....Burn! Burn! Burn!

voraciousreader - Thanks for that. I am ignoring that person as much as I can. When I was really pissed I was going to just get off the thread completely but once I slept on it, I decided I had just as much right to post as she did and I certainly was not going to start another thread. There always seems to be one or two bullies out there.

Hi Jo................clueless about what happened to you, but ignore the ass. But don't stop going on the thread because of her.................don't play her game................a bully is a bully...........there are too many nice ladies here to worry about 1 idiot...............hugs

ducky - the short version of the story is this. I was trying to help someone who was trying to stop smoking and this person who thought she is the resident expert. Whenever I tried to offer advice or let them know how I quit she proceeded to attack me. I was so angry that I was going to quit posting but decided I was not going to lower myself to her level and that I had just as much right as she did to post. I try to hard to put a positive spin on this madness we are having to deal with and always try to help others. It really makes me feel good when I can brighten someone's day or make them laugh.

I was right Jo................she is an ass......................hit the "ignore button".........ooops that's right, we don't have an ignore button.........................well you can do that on your own....................and never let anyone stop you from having your say.....................hugs

ducky - Thanks! Once I got over the anger that is how I felt.
