WOW I didn't know that people who spend all that money to go to school to be doctor's could be so absentminded and stupid.
So i was referred by my PC to a Cardiologist b/c of my borderline high blood pressure due to having a solitary kidney. My PC didn't want to put me on meds b/c the risk of lowering my points by 5 was not worth it.
I started off by them taking my bp and of course it was elevated due to being at doctors. Then followed by an EKG which after prompting the doctor was normal.
She sits down with me and stares at me. And says ok what are you here for? I said ummmm didn't Dr. SO AND SO send my files and let you know whats going on? NO just a not she says. So i said blood pressure.(Now at this point i am like gimme a break and the sarcasm just keeps flying from my lips)
Tells me how SMART my pc (about 3 times) i said well if he's so smart than why are you putting me on meds and he isn't. He doent feel it's necessary. Shut her up quick. Then tells me HOW IMPORTANT IT IS that i tell people (docs) that i have one kidney in the most childish voice. NO SHIT SHAKESPEARE it's the first thing i tell anyone i see in the medical field you moron. It's quite important don't ya think? WOW!
So she takes a history and explains about diabetes. I said after about 10 min listening to her i do not have diabetes. She said well in diabetics the blood pressure goes up which affects kidneys.I said ok again i don't have diabetes and my kidney function was checked and it's fine.
She says to me can you do 10 min? I said what are you talking about? She says on a treadmill, i look down at my feet and say well i can try with flip flops on. Not now she says. OOOOOOOOOOOKAYYYYYYYYY!
She orders a stress test-echo, an ultrasound on kidney and blood work.
She takes my bp with my cuff. FIRST she cant figure how the cuff goes on (AGAIN YOU WENT TO SCHOOL AND PAID WHAT????) so i grabbed i mean GRABBED the cuff from her, and put it on. She takes the machine pushes start it's done. She doesn't like the number so shuts it off, but continues to press start to take it again. I sat there watching her press start about 16 times with the power off (AGAIN I AM NOT SAYING A WORD YOU WENT TO SCHOOL FOR THIS).
After about 5 times taking my bp i said LOOK your stressing me out here, watching the numbers increase each time IS NOT HELPING.
So she asks me some more ?? i answer that i smoke. She comes over and says now let me tell you what smoking does to you. I said ever so sternly, wise and snippy, LOOK you don't need to tell me what smoking does, i am a smoker remember, I KNOW what it does to my body. You need not remind me OK? I said I've tried quitting used the chantix which is the worst medicine ever and i will never stop trying to quit. She shuts up.
tells me about the tests and what i can/cant drink. This is the first time i told her i do NOT drink fake sugars. We continue taking i am getting a huge judgmental attitude from her, she writes up the script for Norvasc 5mg and again says something about sweet an low. I said more snappy and stern I DO NOT EAT FAKE SUGARS!!!!!!!
I was done trying to convince her that i was on labetalol (bp meds) AFTER the kids were born. She was convinced i was on it during my pregnancies, GO AHEAD THINK THAT you idiotic moron. So i asked her, can you tell me if my ekg was normal or not, she said oh ya it was. WERE YOU GOING TO TELL ME THAT AT ALL DURING THIS VISIT OR WHAT?
So i get ready to walk out of the room, she says to me i like the first one better. I said the first one WHAT?! She says the first person. I said WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!! She again says the first women at the desk to sign out and make my appointments. I said OHHHHHHHHHHH SO YOU DON'T LIKE THE PEOPLE OUT THERE JUST ONLY ONE OK. Says to try to get the earliest appointment for all this b/c i have to fast.
So now i proceed from the idiotic moron room to the bitchier than hell room. I sit down and tell the woman that i need the earliest appointment for the stress test. She snaps THE DOCTOR KNOWS WE ONLY DO 2 TIMES!!!! So she gives me 12:45. She asks me a question i start explaining and picks up the phone in the middle and doesn't say excuse me or hold on. SO i keep talking. Your gonna be so rude to not stop me I'm gonna keep going. After she says oh um sorry what did you say. I said NOTHING important.
So i said well i should let you know the doctor was so ADAMANT about me being on medicine that she forgot to give me the script. (I WISH I COULD SAY THIS POST INSTEAD OF TYPING DON'T GET THE FULL EFFECT OF THE TONES USED) She calls the doc, she doesn't answer. Makes my appointments, i said again are you gonna check on that for me or do i leave w/out it.
Doctor comes out and says OH WOULDN'T THAT HAVE BEEN HORRIBLE IF I DID MY CHARTS AT THE END OF THE DAY AND FORGOT YOUR SCIRPT? I sarcastically laughed and say oh yah terrible. So i ask her when do i take this med. She says with breakfast, YOU DO EAT BREAKFAST DON'T YOU, i said NOPE, he mouth dropped you don't i said NOPE!
There was probably so much more to this, but i forgot.
Ok first lets just say i don't like women doctors for a REASON!!!!!!!! I have never had a good experience with women doctors PERIOD.
I don't know if insurance covers this i am almost afraid to call. But we'll see if she's just as idiotic and moronic after these tests, and then we'll be switching cardiologists.
