Re: Off topic: furious at my doctor
I'd feel just as irritated. It is hard enough to keep a positive attitude in seeking out ways to stay on top of cancer, including ones that take time and money and effort when it would be a lot more comfortable to just take it easy.
The one question in my mind is, a doctor has relationships with a never-ending run of people and while for us the memory of our last visit with the doc is pretty clear, theirs is by a month later more of a blur. I don't know what the doc was thinking, but your chart isn't in front of her and something vague that might actually be about another patient may have been what triggered it for her. I work with my PCP so I've been guilty of thinking "he knows what is going on with me, why is he doing it this way?" when in reality I am just one of a lot of people he sees. I've learned not to assume too much about what they remember about me when my chart isn't in front of them.
