homie, to fix or not to fix?

  well the dr was not very enlightining. rather he was a bit put-offish... treated me with a lack of understanding and appreciation for my situation.. the resident was more interested than he, the  attending.  he said that he would not fix it just leave it alone until or if it started hurting, then to come in cause it would be an emergency. so why dont we fix it BEFORE it becomes one? i asked. well its not really in a bad place he says.. well 'scuuuz' me it is for me.  then he proceded to explain if they did they would just ' jump in and do it laproscopicaly. i said that might be a bit hard seeing as my anatomy is all screwed up in there. and full of scar tissue and adhesions.. " oh well it will just be a little harder" . this guy was just not getting my concerns. i dont want to wait itll it gets bad. i cant afford to lose any more intestine. if it gets caught in there and starts dying, then its too late they will have to take more out. plus i think i know my body JUST a bit better than he. i KNOW its not a simple hernia. i just know its coming from down farther. you could see it on the ultra sound when it was moving and flowing into the cavity.. all he gets to look at is the still pictures from the machine.  which does not equal actually seeing it flow.  so  i am gonna call the nurse coordinator and get in to see another surgeon, hopefully the lady that fixed my fistula 4 years ago. at least i trust her and she knows whats in there.. so thats my update..  wish me luck

Luck.. hope the lady Dr. is able to see you soon and your right it would be good to have a Dr. that knows your case.lol gail

Dont that just erk you, just a little harder ??? Harder for who ? Hey,,, this aint a Chevy were talking about. , Just wait till the engine blows ,then we'll short block it. Your a better man than I, Rando. I would have kicked him square in the,,,,deferential..

this guy was just rubbing me the wrong way.. (hey dont read too much into that sniper, VV and sno). he was a youngish guy maybe early thirties not a hair out of place. just to matter of fact for me. not willing to explore any options etc.. just , this is what it is , this is what we'll do. not what would YOU like to see happen mr meyers?

it will work out im sure.. just will take time..

Spookhurst, The more they wait the more $$$money$$$ they make when you really really need them. Do you know how much custom golf clubs cost ????

Sniper, my family always says that the GI needs to make his yacht payment when he orders a bunch of tests .
