Aunty B and The Battle With The WANGSTER

[binaryalchemist]

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 have a pulled muscle" when I had THREE kidney stones last year.

He gave me attitude. His nurse was a CUNT, not a description I use often. I had to DEMAND certain tests be run. He tried to rush me out. I raised hell and demanded he run the goddamn test. BINGO. Second strain of bactiera found.

Fortunately--there is a very fine doctor right down the street from my office. It is open until 8pm--I get off at 6:30--seven days a week---and he is on the list for our HMO. I will see them Monday and discuss transfering my care to Dr. Gibbs instead---one of my friends goes there and loves him. Dr K has been my doctor for five years--I trust her, and she's wonderful--but if I can't be under her care...they can shove Dr. Wang's wang up his wingwang.

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.
