Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Hi, Well it just gets better and better (being sarcastic). Here in IN they are trying to pass a new law. We already have a cap on what we can sue a doc for. Now they want to be able to force you to settle out of court to save the docs and insurance companies more money. That's why we're all here! Right! They say this will attract good docs to IN. Well... hasn't worked so far. That's why I had to go to KY for my myo. That's why it took 5 docs here, 3 years to figure out I had a fibroid (they said " it was in my head " - looking in the wrong area!). My KY RE doc said a medical student could have figured it out there. By the time I hit the ER with anemia severe enough to kill, the ER doc was screaming about my lack of treatment by my MD. (My MD said that fibroids have nothing to do with anemia). He's a sharp tack. NOT! I don't know about other docs in other states but around here they have side businesses. So 1/2 the office is for ill people the other 1/2 is for beauty treatments. Soon you'll be able to tan (sorta like a dentist giving candy to their clients), shop or get your pet trimmed at the doc's office. I kid you not. Common sense says that the laws we have attract BAD docs and they are trying to make it even better for them with this lastest attempt. And why shouldn't a doc be sued with no caps anyways? I have no caps for me. No special laws! And when is enough money enough for them? How about getting rid of bad docs? I don't do my job correctly, I get fired and I don't injure of kill anyone either. It's all enough to make you sick! I feel for you. You have every right to be angry. Keep on trying. Keep fighting! You go girl!

NOT!> I would expect a doctor to know the sorts of generaliseed summaries of information presented in women's health books covering various issues. If a doctor knows they don't know enough about a certain health issue they shouldn't make things up, pretending they do. We wouldn't mind if a GP was honest and said they had to consult with a colleague or pass us on to another doctor, as it wasn't their sphere of expertise. < So 1/2 the office is for ill people the other 1/2 is for beauty treatments.> I saw something on a UK (BUPA, I think) site about stretch marks and couldn't believe it. Maybe the place to fix these problems in the long term is in the medical schools training and recruitment. They could be taught a better attitude towards patient-doctor relationships that is based on common decency towards fellow humans, rather than superficiality and defensiveness. You may say Im Catriona But I'm not the only one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
