That's pure bullshit, that doctor has no heart. Perhaps he was trying to suggest a healthier diet, but what a crap way to do it! Especially without talking to you about it first. And what the fuck business of his is your work status? Ugh.

But I have had a similiar experience. I went to the ER once because I slammed my abdomen into a counter at work and cramped up so bad I thought something might have ruptured. In the hospital bed with the curtain pulled, I heard a nurse or doctor say, very loudly "Wow, lots of little girls with attention issues in here tonite!"

Uh...excuse me? I couldn't believe he said that. I walked out (pain had subsided, still no idea what it was) and really wish, looking back, that I had told somebody WHY i walked out so soon.

Very, very sorry that you were treated this way. Try to let it roll off, and not dwell on it. Hugs and peace to you.

Hi Donna,

They had no right to treat you this way..............

They are jerks..........

YOU are wonderful :-) :-)

Sigh. Is there anywhere else you could go? Who's the head of the facility? I'd write them a detailed letter, telling them about the poor treatment you have received there!!!

How do you act when they mistreat you? Are you good at standing up for yourself!!!? Are you firm about what you want in the way of treatment? Tell them what kind of help you're looking for, if indeed you do know what you think should be done!!!!

Have you seen a nutritionist to discuss what kind of diet you should be following for your Diabetes? Or are you an expert on that already since you're living with the disease? My mom has Diabetes type 2 and she was surprised at what she could and could not eat.

You shouldn't have to do a damn thing but show up to be treated with compassion and I'm sorry that's not taking place!!!!

Good luck!!! I hope they treat you better in the future!!!!! (Good luck with redoing the kitchen, too!!!!) (((((Hugs)))))

WTF?! Can you report them? I hate that doctors treat patients as bags of money and not as people. They don't care to help others, just getting payed. They don't have any "bedside manner". I'm so sorry.

"I hate that doctors treat patients as bags of money and not as people. They don't care to help others, just getting payed (sic)"

the way the American medical and pharmacutical industries operate, that`s exactly what you are i`m afraid :(
was it $30 JUST for the appointment and some flyers?

Yeah. I get told I need to lose weight. I have had a health problem since I was 15 and weighed 115 lb. I don't eat much, but I can't do much either due to the pain. I changed states, put on weight and now all I here is my problem is self induced due to being over weight. I only weighed 150lb, very tall, when I got here in this new state. Since I have been here I have been in two much pain to do anything. I am not in pain because I am fat. I am fat because I am in too much pain to do anything. I used to exercise, walk and swim to keep my weight down. Can't do any of that now. Well, I can swim,but don't have a pool.

I would try to find out what and where the local reporting agencies are and report that doctor--you have the right to respectful treatment.
