Guest guest Posted April 20, 2000 Report Share Posted April 20, 2000 Hi guys, I always get the sense that Dr. Thayer is in a big hurry. I'm still happy that he's my surgeon, but sometimes I do feel rushed with him. On the plus side, I called the office today, expecting him to call me at his convenience, when he suddenly got on the phone. Here's the conversation: Thayer: " What's up, kid? " Alice: " Well, I had my ultrasound today, and they told me I had fatty deposits in my liver. " Thayer: " That's because you're fat. (pause) Fat people have fatty livers. Don't worry about it. " I HAD to laugh! It made me feel much better. From now until Tuesday, I'm not going to worry about anything.... - Alice A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2000 Report Share Posted April 20, 2000 Yes my last appt was the same way I was in/out in about 5-10 minutes .. I had no questions or issues so was told come back in June for my 1 yr appt. Lyssa Re: Pam It was no big deal. I don't see him till my anver. date now. He said probably what he say's to everyone. Kind of a wasted trip for me. It takes me an hour and a half to get there for a 5 min appt. Personally I could of done other things. 3 hours on the road with the kids, (real fun).

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2000 Report Share Posted April 20, 2000 That is the reason NEMC insist that you lose some weight first, the less fatty deposits the easier it goes for him and you. I guess what he told me was the fat there goes first during a diet and 10-20 pounds makes a world of difference. www.homestead.com\skinny_soon 4/29/99 421 --- 4/11/00 308 NoRm!

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2000 Report Share Posted April 21, 2000 Dr Thayer has such a way with words........lol Before my surgery, He kept telling me I was healthy as a HORSE...........hmmm being in his postion of dealing with obese people...you'd think he would have come up with another analogy.......lol. Thayer: "What's up, kid?" Alice: "Well, I had my ultrasound today, and they told me I had fatty deposits in my liver." Thayer: "That's because you're fat.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2000 Report Share Posted April 22, 2000 Pam, Well fortunately we know him well enough now to know that he has our best interests at heart and really cares about all of us...I honestly think he is just a little absent minded .....so he doesnt choose the best words, but We still love him anyway.......... Some of my cousins work in hospitals...they told me surgeons are a breed of their own......so we can chaulk it up to that....... valiantduffy@... wrote: > , > I do agree, He has a way with words.
