Re: Angry about not being told
"My doctor became very offended when I told him that I would not be taking his advice on all the drugs he was prescribing and asked him if he would please give me some information on natural remedies that don't cost an arm and a leg (or breast). I reminded him that I was paying him for the visit and the information, he wasn't doing me a big favor by condecending to see me."
FIRE HIM! He's a worthless, arrogant jerk.
We had the pleasure of firing a doc a few years ago. My husband broke his humerus, all the way through. He wanted WEEKLY x-rays, my husband refused. Doc got pissed, we said ta-ta!
That guy was an a-hole. He completely brushed me off when I tried to tell him of the nutritional things we were doing to expedite healing. SO offensive, only HE was capable of providing anything of worth. So patronizing and insulting.
BTW, hubbie healed in record time. He was 53? at the time. He went for exactly one "physical therapy" session and the therapist was amazed.
"Physical therapy", what a joke. Just DO something, get to work. Our neighbor had shoulder surgery and they sent him home with this Goldberg-esque contraption to exercise his shoulder. Guess what the movement resembled? PAINTING! Hell, he could have painted a bathroom and gotten something DONE. Instead, he dutifully used this stupid machine, got nothing done. But was a good patient. lol...
rant over:)
