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.

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...
