My Fertility Doctor Posted: 05-03-05 20:00pm
My husband and I have been trying to get
pregnant for five years. We finally are
going to a doctor in lima, ohio. When I
asked him about pcos and high testosterone
levels he admonished me for looking on the
internet. He said he will cover up the
problems by getting me to ovulate, not
actually fix the problem. Is this a
normal practice or should I see someone
else?

Stand Up to Your Doctor Posted: 05-09-05 23:42pm
The same thing had happened to me but I
was 23 yrs old going to my doctor saying
this. He acted very mad that I was
telling him what I thought was wrong with
me!!?? I had to let him know that the
only reason I had chose his practice was
because I knew that he had diagnosed
somebody else with the same condition.
So, my point is, stand up for yourself or
just get another doctor. Because if your
doctor want listen to you then he isn't
hearing what you have to say and he wont
help you the way you need to be. Good
luck.. :)

I have to say I agree.
I'm in a similar situation. I've had a
major gynae op and have evidence that
points to a different outcome to the one I
have been told but they refuse to discuss
the situation with me.
Pretty much the attitude is that they are
doctors, I am a patient, and no matter how
many books I read and how many case
studies (i am a member of several medical
research sites) I present them with all I
get told is that what I am saying is not
possible and does not exist hmmmmmmmmmm
so stand up for what you believe, I even
took the line of saying "look humour me,
investigate to prove I am wrong" but they
wouldn't even do that, so now I have an
official complaint in progress.

I agree with you too....Why is it doctors
try to convince us of something we know is
not wrong with us and beat around the
bush, it's almost as if they're saying "ok
when this patient comes in i'll say she
has this wrong with her and if she doesn't
agree i'll get pissed off." I remember
3yrs ago when I went to the er for some
severe stomach pains and they kept me
there for 3 days and I was trying to tell
them my history and what I thought was
wrong and I said they should do an
internal sonogram and check it out and the
dr left came back and said "look i'm the
only one here right now, that is an
expensive test and you're not getting it
done." oh it was so funny I looked at him
and said "listen here doc, I don't know
where you went to school but it's apparent
you wasted your money cause your lack of
knowledge is starting to piss me off, it's
pathetic that I went to school for 2 years
to become an emt and you went for a decade
and you're still as dumb as a box of
rocks, we pay your salary you're doing the
test." he got all pissy but he went and
called the technician and in an hour I was
found right, I had cysts all on my ovaries
that one had burst. I'm sorry I got a
little of the subject but I hate how dr's
do that..,...Me and my husband are wanting
to have my fertility checked to make sure
we can have a baby because of alot of the
difficulties I have had and she look at me
and she's like you're young you should be
fine, and does an exam and it like
everything feels fine. I just look at
her and say we've been trying a year and
nothing has happened don't you think you
should look a little more into it. I'm
23 and if I can get help now so in the
future I can have children we need to get
started. Dr's aggravate me so
bad......If I had gone to med school to be
one I sure as hell wouldn't be like
that,.....Good luck to all those trying
may we find a better doctor.
