sending purrs for you to be better
"Christina Websell" wrote in message ... Don't ask. Once again my wonderful friend June came to the rescue to look after my cats and chickens. I only needed to advise her of it and she was there. She fetched me out hospital today when there was an 8 hour wait for an ambulance and I was desperate to get home. She is as capable as I am to get KFC to feed. As for myself I am not too well atm and the consultant surgeon asked everyone around about my health except me. He wanted to know what was going on with the ovarian cancer and no-one knew. He should have asked me maybe. |

Purrs and good healing thoughts from across the pond! Hope you're back
to tending KFC, Boyfriend and the chickens quickly! (And yes, you'd think the surgeon would have asked you...)

He was loathsome. He brought to mind the old joke "what's the difference between God and a consultant?" Answer "God knows *He's* not a consultant.." As he moved away to the next bed with his entourage of admiring underlings, I beckoned one of them back and mouthed "what's his name?" All became clear when I was told. He's the surgeon who seemed to take a delight in scarring my cousin's body up more than necessary. Make your own judgment whether he did it on purpose: My cousin Margi - the one who kept Debbie W advised of my progress in 05 so you all could be kept up to date - needed to have her gall bladder removed as a matter of urgency. She asked if she could be sterilised at the same time as she had 6 children and her 7th pregnancy had been ectopic. She made a fatal mistake. She asked this loathsome surgeon Mr K (who she trusted as we all have to) how big her scar would be. His reply was "oh, you're one of *those* are you?" She wasn't sure what he meant but she soon found out. He removed her gallbladder and slashed right down from there to her fallopian tubes instead of treating them as separate operations. As she was waking up she heard him say "that one won't wear a bikini again.." He made such a mess of her that she had to undergo further operations to tidy it up. It looks like I will have to have another operation soon, but if they offer me this surgeon I will scream blue murder and refuse. Luckily I heard him at the end of the ward round talking into his tape recorder about me. He was referring me back to the surgeon who did my original incisional hernia repair operation, Mr J. phew Mr J is arrogant but he's grown on me a bit since he was nice when I last saw him in December. He was trying to avoid me having another op, but it's likely that will now be necessary. Scale of arrogance. Mr J- 6 out of 10. Bedside manner 5/10 Mr K (yesterday's excuse for a consultant) Arrogance 10/10, bedside manner 0 or even a minus score. The problem often is that consultants get used to being deferred to, they are very powerful in the hospital heirarchy and after many years of that it can go to their heads. Consultant says jump, the staff jump. My gynae consultant scores 3/10 on arrogance - it would have been lower but I witnessed him exercising his power once over his underlings and I didn't like it. His bedside manner would be 8/10. Scoring best would be my eye surgeon. 0/10 on arrogance, 10/10 bedside manner. A lovely man. He was so pleased that he'd saved my central vision with a relatively new groundbreaking operation, he wrote to me to ask my permission to use my case in some lectures he was doing. Of course I said yes.

glad you get the good guy back, I am not intimidated by doctors of any kind,
had around 20 eye surgeries by the age of 20, and my best friend in High school was the child of 2 doctors, the one thing they both said to me is that the more arrogant the doctor the more sure you can be they are either afraid they aren't good enough or they are greedy and don't want to waste time on beside becuase that isn't bringing in the cash, It was a true blessing to know these two, Lee "Christina Websell" wrote in message ...

Not only is scarring an issue, but recovery is much slower with such a huge incision. Not to mention that the immediate recovery must have been so painful. The more they cut, the worse it feels. And the risk of infection is that much worse, too. That ass doesn't deserve to be a doctor. It's bad enough when a doctor is arrogant and condescending and they're *good* at what they do - but this sh*thead practiced bad medicine. That sounds almost like grounds for a malpractice suit. In the US she probably would've done that, but maybe people are less likely to sue in the UK? It looks like I will have to have another operation soon, but if they offer me this surgeon I will scream blue murder and refuse. Eek, run the other way!! Better you deal with the hernia longer until you can get a decent doctor. (That is what's happening, I'm assuming?)

He was referring me back to the surgeon who did my original incisional hernia repair operation, Mr J. phew Mr J is arrogant but he's grown on me a bit since he was nice when I last saw him in December.
