With your symptoms , I would have expected a more complete exam.

I don't think you are overreacting

You're definitely not overreacting.. and I like females docs better too.

You're not overreacting! But you should speak up and tell your doc that you want a more thorough exam - only you can make that difference! I tell my doc, as soon as she walks through the door, that I need to know everything she's doing, what she thinks is wrong with me, what I need to do, etc. I may be a pain in the ass but I'm an ass that knows what's going on!

Yea this is not an overreaction. I have been to different doctors and you can tell the difference between the ones that are more interested in getting thru all thier patients and the ones who actually care enough to make you better.

I like my doc now. He is male but he is caring and treats me like a real person. Hes not always perfect though it seems that any ailment I have he relates to my being obese. Even when I had an ear ache! But he has helped emensly with my depression and my weight loss in the past.

Something I have learned thru all my years and all my doctors is you are paying them to help you. So you have to speak up for yourself and what needs you have at that time. Its just like speaking up about bad service at a restaurant excapt this is your health your talkin about. Hope you find a doctor that you like.

You're not overreacting. He should have examined you...what a huge mistake!

I'd get another doctor. Seems like he's not really "into it". What if something was very wrong and he missed it?

Thank you everyone for calming my nerves. I got a few numbers today from my nurse friend of female doctors she thinks I'll like. My guy came highly recommended but he's 10 years younger than me and I just don't think we're a good fit.

I don't think you are overreacting either. Some docs just are burned out , don't care or want to see as many as possible in a short time.

Over a month ago my right calf had been sore but one night I bent over to pick up my dog and I felt a snap in my right calf. Thought I was going to pass out and got scared it was a traveling blood clot. So..

went to the ER, told them I wanted to rule out a blood clot. They took all this blood and some extra the girl said in case the Dr. wanted more tests they wouldn't have to stick me again.

So I tell the nurse I have bp when she asks for other health problems. She never once asked me what meds I was on. Shortly after the doc came back in holding a script for pain meds and muscle relaxants and was just wanting me to leave without finding out why I hurt.

I asked them if my blood test came back negative for a blood clot and they were like "Oh, did you want that tested!" I said that's what I thought you were taking all the blood for! She said well, we will run it so it took an extra hour sitting there waiting on results. Thank goodness it was negative for a blood clot.

Anyways, I don't know what's going on in healthcare today since that visit to the ER. My other two docs are great.

I don't think you overreacted at all. I'm surprised they didn't take all your vitals nor listen to your chest. I agree with the others, he should've done a more thorough exam.

Its your and every health consumers right to be treated well. That doctor didn't do you justice. Its important for a patient to speak up. Conversely some docs are real creeps. I remember years ago I went to a gynecologist. I bought a layperson's magazine with an article on thermagraphy. Well the doctor refused to even look at the report. I felt so upset. Just because he or she is a medical professional doesn't mean they can or should treat you shabbily. I don't blame you for reacting like you did. Its your body, its your health.

I would get another doctor.
