Right lobe is seem pee cholangiogram on 2010,diagnosed with primary slerossi cholangitis. The only cure,hopefully few yrs from now, is a liver transplant. I've be in and out of this hospital dealing with liver abscess. I'm a register nurse, not able to work. My symtoms are being so fatigue,no appetite,(always those three), but many liver pain, chills...<br />Anyways my husband took me to the er yesterday, as I was feeling extremely fatique, no appetite, no desire to eat, right upper quad pain. Also I have controlled depression but what happens I go in, things flowing well. Approximately an hour before released. A different doctor comes into see me. He did all the talking, didn't listing to a cotton pickin thing i said. His demeanor, the way he looked at me I felt hopeless,realizing he doesn't care. Because of my no appetite is a common symptom of psc, and as psc is rare, I realized he evidently doesn't know anything about my disease. I wasn't depressed went I came to the er, but what he did was or said to me "You better eat this sandwich and package of crackers, if you don't I'll have you admitted, put a feeding tube in you, then a peg tube". And hurried out of the room never saw him again. I tried a couple bites of sandwich and crackers. 5 minutes later a male nurse l hadn't seen before discharges me. I cried historically, him threatening me was absolutely not called for. Then, I got soooo decourage, my feeling of pulling this biliary drIan from my liver. I felt hopeless,I'm so tired, he belittle me. That's unprofessional! As a former RN I realize there's nothing I can do, but go home and figure what I do next. I'm not at all sucidcital, I want to live, but he destroyed the little bit of motivation I had left. The hospital takes care of the staff, I have seen situations were lawyers talk to doctors and nurses how to resond, act what to say before going to court over this certain situations. By saying that,today I spent time crying, then my husband encourage me to pray for thus doctor, REALLY, we'll I did pray for him. That doctor threatenin me, it has discouraged me. And there's nothing I can do. Symtoms of psc, no appetite, lost of weigh, i wasnt refusing to eat, just wasn't hungry, and normally it picks back up in few days. He was rude. And he did make me consider giving up.

I have been on the receiving end of many nasty words from colleagues (most recently, this morning from a specialist who felt that I was rude to her because I greeted the nurse before I greeted her, which showed disrespect).

I was so exicted to see the first impression of our child on the Scan monitor. Then, the assistant of doctor, first she put the wet sheet on wife's leg. My wife asked her to get it changed as it was used by previous patient. At first, the assistant ignored. Then I asked her firmly to change it. At this point, the doctor interferred "if you are done with your problem, keep sit on the visitor's chair." My wife and I got pissed off by such shabby arrangement and such a statement by such ëducated" man. Later, as doctor pointed towards the blinking spot on the screen, which, we were told that it is foetus heart. I tried to come little close to see the blinking spot on the screen, But then, suddenly, doctor shouted rudely "let me do my job. you remain seated." I thought, may be he is interuppted. So I sat quitely. Then i thought taking a photo thru my cellphone, then doctor's assitant shouted, "no photography is allowed". and doctor turned towards me and shouted "Why don't you have patience. Since the time you have entered, you have created nuisance.". My whole good time came to end. he was just at a verge of getting a slap from me. My wife signalled me to keep calm, so as to avoid any argument. At the end, I thought of give him befitting reply, but then, he was doing his job and might have had some other problmes or stresss in his mind, i ignored to reply back over his attitude. Let him have his day. Afterall, he must be knowing he is eating bread because we are paying to him.

He was arrogant, standoffish or snobbish, spoke to me in a belittling manner and I suspect made the occassional unpleasant or mean remarks about me to his staff at the clinic. I felt so nervous and very uncomfortable when attending the clinic and was very tempted to say or do something, but due to the situation I was now in I couldn't. I did NOT deserve to be judged or treated the was I was by that foot surgeon, he was in NO position to treat me or anyone else that way....think he had a 'I am more superior and better than everyone else, way too good to be associated with the likes of peasants like you complex'...lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02291969587867127616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10528990.post-33940310489031171322014-07-01T04:22:18.609+05:302014-07-01T04:22:18.609+05:30My brother in law sued an arrogant doctor for negl...My brother in law sued an arrogant doctor for negligence and got a pot of money.

But this isn't a blog about rude patients, it's about rude doctors and doctors coming on here to vent back just proves more to me that you are rude! My Doctor does the phone thing to me ALL the time. One time when I was telling him about this horrible shooting pain in my side I had the night before, he got a phone call from his wife and they went on for a good 5 minutes talking about the installation of his air conditioning. THAT'S rude. He is always very quick with me, he has me off the chair before I even sit down, and everything I say feels like its not important and a waste of his time. I wish some doctors would take just 60 seconds to be sympathetic to each patient, it would make a world of difference, even if it's just in your tone. Our little common illnesses might not worry most doctors, but WE don't go through that every day either and some little things really put a worry on patients!
