Re: Hand Slapped by my surgical oncologist 😡
I notice your profile mentions a "grey area" regarding lymph nodes that's pretty important to clear up!
And I personally would have to step back and reconsider a surgeon who is so domineering and touchy. Unless she is fabulous and just has bad bedside manners. But these decisions are yours to make, not hers. You chose the doctors who you're comfortable with
I like someone's suggestion of speaking to a patient advocate to sort this out
But don't take any crap either!
Keep the faith
