A lot of doctors don't see us as people but as patients. I'm sure they feel they need to do this in order to stay at a professional distance but it's no fun when they treat us like items. Hang in there.

i too am a nurse and sympathize with the way you were treated.
i'm amazed at how well you were able to advocate for yourself. you were right on and all those present were wrong.

i too suggest you write a higher up at the hospital. like nat said, stick to the facts. i'm so glad you had someone with you. and, be sure to tell your follow up dr how you were treated.

i've had drs turn me off too. it doesn't feel good at all.
please stay in touch with us.

Yes, but would it hurt them to, at least, pretend to care while they're actually treating us? They are getting paid, after all.

I don't think they are capable of even pretending. But thanks for responding to my pain.
