ALWAYS Get A Second Opinion!

[terry78]

^So you're saying you were banned and came back as a new name, basically. That's illegal, son.

 

[Deep Thinkin'!]

Jason Blood?

What happened to you?

 

[Kid Wicked]

I just got tired of Jason Blood.

I didn't get banned, who the **** gave anyone that idea?

I asked a mod if I could get a username change, and they said no. So here I am.

 

[Deep Thinkin'!]

.... you had a 100x100 avvy....

Now, you'll have to make up... six. thousand.... pos-

:dies:

 

[Kid Wicked]

I really liked the idea of working my way up.

Pretending I was a noob got tired when everyone thought they could push me around. That's what I get for mentioning someone killing themselves and expressing my feelings on the internet.

 

[Drakon]

it's always in the last place you look.

If you look for it after you find it, then you've got issues.

When you said the doctor 'practically lied', I expected a penis joke was coming. To see you play it straight, I'm kinda disappointed, Drak.

Every so often, I throw a curveball and play it straight.

I've been on the site longer than you.

I never heard about the leg thing though.

I didn't see the Blood thing before. Sorry.

 

[Kid Wicked]

I didn't see the Blood thing before. Sorry.

Meh, it's cool.

I originally didn't want to tell anyone.

 

[Logan's Runt]

Has this ever happened to you??

Yes. I was having issues with UTI's (lots of them) so I decided to go to the E-room instead of waiting for the clinics to open the next day when I felt one coming on. (Or thought I did). They tested me, and it was negative, so I thought I was just being paranoid from having so many. Nope, they decided to 'find out why' I was having symptoms of UTI. So they do their little cold caulk gun exam, and decide it 'looks' like I have a bunch of STD's. Yeah, a bunch. That's all they said. So I'm a bit confused and frightened, meanwhile my fiancee is out in the waiting room (with my dad, who works at the hospital and happened to see us there...) wondering what's taking so long. He comes back to the exam room eventually as I'm freaking out thinking he's given me a bunch of STD's.
The med staff decides not to wait until test results come back to medicate me, so they roll me over and give me a shot of antibiotics in the arse, as well as a couple of horse pills. Then they have to watch me for a half hour to make sure I don't die from all the medication.
Then they sent me off and told me to call in a few days for my test results and they'd tell me exactly which STD's I had.... I called, they said 'your test results are negative.'

But aye, I had that same (abbreviated) conversation with my fiancee....and the doctor did the 'honey its an STD' thing to me as well. She was really mean about it, which was not really what I needed at the time. Plus she said it in that 'I don't care if you say you're not, I know you're a little ****e' kind of way.

I'm rather appalled my first doc didn't suggest I get retested before taking the Zithromax she prescribed.

That's probably because pharmaceutical companies that make drugs like Zithromax pay BIG BUCKS to doctors (in perks, bonuses, etc) to push (sorry, "prescribe") their product.

Thought your doctor cared about your well-being? Nope, sorry, she's just in it for the money.

 

[Asteroid-Man]

You are a dirty cheater and you know it

 

[tzarinna]

I hate doctors.

 

[webhead731]

Oh, you're new-ish here, sorry.

I'm missing my right leg, from birth [Don't do drugs whilst preggo, kids!], and its somewhat a, pardon the pun, running joke that I bring it up whenever I see comedicially fit.

You're missing a leg?

That's not cool, sorry to hear that.

 

[Immortalfire]

I'm missing my right leg, from birth [Don't do drugs whilst preggo, kids!], and its somewhat a, pardon the pun, running joke that I bring it up whenever I see comedicially fit.

I was lucky and got it half off. Just like my pedicure!

*falls on floor laughing* Aahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha dood you're the king..hahaha

We will hang out, and I will steal your leg. t: And beat you with it, if I'm in such a mood.

And that's why I don't go unless I'm dying.

You're missing a leg?

That's not cool, sorry to hear that.

It's really no worse, to me, than you having two legs. Again, I never had it, so I have no idea what I'm missing.

*falls on floor laughing* Aahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha dood you're the king..hahaha

/bow

Bring it on.

[Abaddon]

that's why you guys overcompensate.

 

[Dodger]

A blood test once came back positive for Hep-C. I went to a docotor and he told me I was negative. Not feeling at rest I went to 2 more, both negative.

 

[redmarvel]

Maybe the second test was wrong. You should take another one from a different doctor. Think of it as trying to win a best of 3 series.

Agreed you don't want to take any chances. Also, Lurk, if the second test also comes out negative go to the doctor that did the original test. Let her know that one of her OTHER patients probably has it and was mis-diagnosed (they may have confused your samples with someone else's who came in the same day).

 

[Lurk]

So, a belated update -

We called back to tell her to correct her report to the health department. She kept repeating, "Yes, but what you're not grasping..." "You're failing to understand..." and then would go on to insist her test result was correct and that our two negs were false. I wanted to reach through the ****ing phone and slap her. She believed her test being false or belonging to another person was an impossibility. She wouldn't even consider it.

My husband called back to ask why she believed her result was correct when we both came back negative (if one of us had it, the other would). She said she didn't know how long I'd been infected and that maybe he wasn't infected. In other words, I must have cheated very recently. At that point, he started screaming and cussed her out. t: :heart:

Well, I did have a third effing test and, surprise-surprise, it was negative.

So I called her boss, the main doctor, and went off describing how condescending and manipulative she was through this whole process. He sounded pretty upset, so I think she'll be held accountable. At this point, I don't care. I wanted to call and scream at her, but that wouldn't have achieved anything. She would have ignored me and gone on her merry way, so reporting her to her superior was most satisfying. And besides, my hubby already verbally shredded her, so she's heard it all.

That's exactly what happened to me. It was the worst part of this whole experience. I can deal with getting a false positive; it was scary, but **** happens. No test is 100%. It's the way the situation was handled that had me so damn riled. The possibility that I could have taken the prescription and never "known" what really happened (or didn't happen) still upsets me.

 

[Drakon]

Again, I'm glad you came back negative, but too bad this doctor is so full of herself. I hope she has to go through what you've gone through with her. Maybe then she can appreciate it.

Aye!

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

This reminds me of when I went out to have a smoke in the middle of The Two Towers.
I got outside to find my pack was empty. I thought I had one last one.

Luckily there was a market across the street, so I go over there and say, "I need some Camel 100's."

And the ****ing clerk goes, "LOL, there's no such thing. You want Camel 99's!"
And I go, "No. I don't want 99's. I want 100's."
And he goes "They Don't Even MAKE 100's....only 99's!"

And for some insane reason he's acting very adamant and condescending, like I'm just the world's biggest moron for thinking there's such a thing as Camel 100's.

So I go, "Uh....DUDE......I've been smoking for 10 freaking years, and I only smoke Camel 100's, so what have I been smoking all this time? "

And he goes, "LOL, well, I don't know. Maybe you mixed up. I've been working here for TWENTY FIVE years, and we carry every kind of Camel cigarette there is and I have never seen any 100's! "


And I go "Lol, DUDE....Are you saying that I've been seeing "99" and reading "100" instead, or I'm making this all up?!?
Maybe you don't CARRY 100's, but they DO make them!"

"No they don't. "




I was so disgusted that he refused to listen to me even though I was right and he was being SO childish and dismissive toward me for the STUPIDEST reason ever, AND while he was in the wrong....that I forgot...for some reason, luckily, I HADN'T thrown out my empty pack!

So lucky, any other day I'd've thrown it away, but I didn't feel like fishing out the Camel Buck just then.




So I go, "AH! Well what is THIS?!?!?", and I show him the empty Camel 100's pack.
And then I just go, "GhAwd..." and he was silent.

First, I'm glad that the second round of test results came back negative. I'm also glad you and your husband were able to use this as a way to strengthen your marriage and communication with one another. Reporting the first doctor to her superior was probably the smartest thing you could have done with the issue as she obviously wasn't going to listen to you or your husband (though I'm felt he got a bit of satisfaction out of tearing her a new orifice). Obi-Ron's right that some of these doctors are on the pharmaceutical company teat and don't really care about much more than getting their patients onto whatever they can subscribe. I'd dump that first doctor if I were you.

At any rate, glad you're okay. Now quit sleeping around like a little ****e ('Runt, that goes for you, too).
