Ever fired a doctor?

Just wondering...

In 6+ years of this bumpy journey- 92 rounds of chemo, 7 surgeries including a Liver Resection-& multitudes of absurd moments w/insensitive, arrogant, inexperienced, ignorant, naive Dr's/Rn's, I've just fired my (almost) Rad Onc...
I'll spare you all the gory details, but was primarily due to a naive yet arrogant Resident & her insensitive, ignorant comments made during my CT/Sim appt. Afterall, I've been dealing w/this disease longer than she's been in Med School!
I w/out hesitation cancelled my appointment for my 1st rad tx & told them I'd be seeking my care elsewhere.
(Don't get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for my other docs that are part of my TEAM & are responsible for my wonderous survival.)
But, as a sage, salty Stage IV Survivor, I know that I do not need to put up with that kind of treatment from someone I'm supposed to trust (&pay!) with my care, health & life!

Got a story...do tell!
