I hate doctors! well at least one

Don't get me wrong, my current doctor is great. She's been supportive and even acted like she felt bad when she gave me the news of the impending miscarriage. She wasn't overly clinical.
Wish I could say as much for my old doctor.
Not only was she a cold-hearted you-know-what (she pretty much just said, "Yeah, you're going to lose your baby," and then stared at me blankly as I sobbed in her office), but now her office is jacking me around.
I need them to send my medical files to my new doctor and they're dragging their feet. I called THREE times last week just to try to get the records release form and never got a call back. I had to call a fourth time this week to get the form. Now she's telling me it will be three weeks to get the records, which would have been fine last week when I started calling. But now I'm concerned that the records won't get her in time for my post-miscarriage appointment and there is info in there that I think will get us moving in the right direction for next time, but my new doctor needs to actually be able to see it.
Anyway, that's why I hate doctors well, at least that one.

Lord I know what you are going through.. after we lost Ella I switched practices.. mind you I had been with these doctors for nine years.. I called to request my records transfered to my new practice.. and they said it would cost 45 cents a page.. well - my file is thick as concrete.. so my new doctor-said they would request the records for me.. and apparently -Dr.s don't charge other doctors for transfers.. its so frustrating - they are our files.. so why is it such a chore to get our own information? anyway.. just a suggestion.. hope it helps..

Well the really crappy part of my situation is that I changed practices because I moved to another STATE! I think they think I just moved to another doctor in the area, which isn't the case.

it isnt a big deal at all for them to send files to another hospital...i was in the hospital recently for...well they never did find out what was wrong...but i was going between 3 different hospitals and they sent files between them in 15 mins. you can get ur dr to call, or if you have to call again, make sure they know you moved and need the files at a hospital in another state.

i remember going to see my doctor, i said i was realy worried, i had a stillborn baby in april06, this was feb07, i said im worried because ive started to bleed a little, he looked at me and said i cant stop you from misscarrying if thats whats going to happen then it will, i just thought how hurtful can some people be, i dint want him to hug me or anything but a little bit of sympathy or a little reasurance would have been nice, and they call them selfs doctors what a joke,

I had the same type of experience with my old OB/GYN when I had my first mc. I eventually went in to the office and demanded that they release my records to me instead of having them sent directly to my new doc. maybe you should try that angle. good luck and I'm sorry for your loss

I wish I could go to the office, but I moved from Western New York to Illinois nearly a year ago. I do, however, feel like getting on a plane, going over to the office and telling those people what I think about their little operation. But I don't really think that would get me anywhere, so I'm not-so-patiently waiting.

working in the medicl field i know how hard it is to obtain your own information from doctors. If you request them to be sent to yourself they will charge you a copying fee. Usually up to $ .75 per page ( ibelieve this is the maximum they can charge by law). If you need your records for your next ob visit I would have the doctors office call them for any important information ie.. previuos test results etc... Then I have them send a medical records release form signed by you authorizing all records to be sent. You maybe stressing for your records for no reason b4 your visit. see what information your doctor may need before hand.

I am so sorry you have to deal with someone like that. Fortunately my OBGYN and even the nurses that were there when I delivered my son were extremely wonderful. But I can't imagine having someone as my doctor being so cold-hearted especially when you've gone through something so painful. I am really sorry you have to go through all this.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
