Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 I'm sitting here laughing about this morning, because Karl's letter was so timely for me. I had gone on a consultation this morning to an oral surgeon about my root canal that is still bugging me. My endodontist suggested this guy, so I went just to see what he had to say. I came home just spitting about this guys attitude. Here's what happened. I don't just sit there all pretty and smile for the doctor and nod my head while they do their "god speaking" routine. I ask questions. Alot of questions so I can know and understand the situation and present new angles for the doctor to consider in treatment. Do you know what this doctor said to me? (ARGGH...GRRRR) "It sounds like you read too much on the internet." It took my uttermost in self control not to bear some claws right then and there and grab him around the throat and shake violently. (just kidding.) I came back with a very strongly stated "I am an intelligent woman. I can read." I then proceeded to tell him about my immune system issues and the whole breast implant thing. I am sure he thinks I am a nut case or a hypochondriac or something. They always do if we have problems outside their little box of thinking, or if they fall into politically correct thinking. He told me that there have been no documented cases of problems with titanium. I suggested otherwise (which is why I will refuse to get dental implants.) We are going to take a wait and see attitude. I think he is going to be waiting a long time because I don't plan on going back there. This is exactly why I hate going to doctors! AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!__________________________________________________ Quote
