RE: LOL...another Doctor vent

[Guest guest]

Maybe she was having a bad day! One thing that I love about doctors and nurses is that they are mostly loving, caring people. But one frustration is that they forget that even if they've heard it a million times (the statement, the owie, the complaint) you've only made it ONE time so for you it's important.

I went to the OB/GYN on monday for my annual appointment and as I step up on the scale I say "I bet I have lost atleast 20 lbs since the last time I was here!" The nurse makes a little grunting noise acknowledging me and writes my weight down and then just tells me to undress the dr. will be in shortly. Then the dr. never said anything either. By golly when I lose 40 lbs......somebody better say something! lol...........

Don't be to upset. My doctor has never said anything about my weight loss

either. I think she just doesn't pay attention to what I weighed on past

visits. I don't come in very often anyway and so I'm not usually seen for

the same problem twice. She never said anything about me being over weight

though so I figure it's all good in the end. Had she commented on me being

over weight every time I came in and then didn't comment when I started

loosing then I would be a bit ticked off ;o).

Funny. Every time I see my doctor, she's quite sure to solemnly mention

that I'm quite overweight. ;-)

I hate doctors like that. I went to one once and came home crying because

she said I was over-weight and then handed me a diet plan. Wasn't the least

bit tactful about it either. Had I asked her how to loose weight or

mentioned I was concerned about my weight it would have been different.

My gyno never commented on my weight, but after I had lost the pounds (the first

time, I'm on my second go-round) all of a sudden they started asking me if I

wanted to discuss pre-pregnancy health....I never quite figured out the

connection there...
