Re: For Neli in Romania

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

Not only that I thank to my doctor, we are kissing and hugging every time we see

each other. I went for check-up to his private practise, unfortunately not big

enough to make operations. He knows I appreciate his work and that I trust his

medical judgement, unfortunately he is sooo.. busy. I will do something to

recognise his value in the media, but in January he leaves for a congress (I

guess this is how he keeps himself up to date),I'll arrange something for

February I think. Anyway his name is VASILE SUCIU.

About encouraging the hospital to do more myomectomies let me tell you another

humiliating story.In order to be admitted in this hospital I had to be checked

by the head of the hospital in the presence of my doctor(and half of the

population of the city).So while the " big and ugly guy " was dictating to

somebody details of my anatomies the doctor was respectfully telling him about

my treatment and use the expression " for conservation " , so he told over my body

somehow " I don't think so " , I mean he never addressed to me for one second he

spoke for the numerous audience in front of me. If I write to this guy a letter,

what would you think I would obtain?One of his patient shared the room with me

and there were three days after the operation and she didn't knew what happened

with her. She kindly asked me to read with her her chart,and the poor women had

cancer so her uterus was removed and he didn't had the time to speak with her.

When I left she asked me my doctors number for her sister,

because she appreciated the close and unique relationship I had with my doctor.

But this is not a solution!!!

I hope there are more Vasile Suciu in Romania,for sure he has a team for

training,that is was I've been operated by three doctors, I suppose.

Thank you for caring it really helps,even tough I'm tough and well balanced It

helps to speak with people who shared the same experience.And beside the

bleeding and the anemia the emotional stuff is the one is the one wich needs to

be treated and unfortunately here noboy is looking in to that.A Happy and

Healthy New Year,

Neli

Neli,

Did you write and thank your doctor? I know it sounds like a silly

question, but everyone likes to get positive feedback. It may be that the

Dr. had to persuade his superiors to be allowed to do the myo. Will you be

going back to that hospital for post-procedure check-ups? If not, what

about writing the doctor occasionally and keeping him up to date with your

recovery news? Maybe you can get the doctor some positive coverage in the

media. That might be positive for the hospital and provide them with even

further incentives to perform further myos.

I think getting the women in the cities that have access to the internet

informed would be a very good first step. These women will then act as

" multipliers " of the information. They will probably have sisters, cousins

or other friends and relations in the country and the information will

slowly get through. You need to be very focussed on what you can do and not

get discouraged by what you can't.

Best of luck,
