Hi Danielle,
I'm glad that you will get some new perspective on your situation. I hope that they give you more favorable options. I know that you have a great attitude toward life and it has been contagious for so many people. I hope that our prayers and good thoughts help you cruise through this situation.
Love,

I told ya so..He he he
Danielle,
That's great news.
I know exactly where ya coming from.
We get the same sort of thing happening here too within the public hospital system.
I'm sure it goes on in every public hospital around the world.
In the ER, we get seen by med students and/or registrars who report to their seniors by phone for advice.
And that's the frustrating thing about these public hospitals..Seems like you get information from the mail man.
It's always good to see another Dr privately for a second opinion.
You tend to trust your life in the hands of med students or registrars.
Not good considering you know more than them.
And with today's Dr's, their attitude sucks.
They need to go back to school and learn PR skills and other people's religions.
Their attitude towards patients needs to change.
I have never came across a Dr who is willing to drop their guard and listen to my suggestions.
They don't like us patients telling them their job, when we're simply just giving them a run down of our history and our symptoms, and past experiences with the same problem that's occurred in the past.
I know Dr's can't hook us up to a computer to carry out a diagnostics check to see what's wrong with us, just like a mechanic does on cars..But the vital information given by the patient to the Dr must mean something.
Instead, we're treated like mushrooms.
They put us in a dark room and feed us Bull sh*t.
Take Care Danielle.
Regards
AD

That's good news Danielle! Keep it up! :cheer :hugfriend Those are signs of God's little miracles. Too little to be appreciated, but God works in little ways often rarely felt. Any comfort that he gives is a sign that God is just there carrying you at your worst and he never leaves you alone even when you feel everything is full of bullshit around you. :smiley God is good! :wink
--- Quote from: Danielle on April 24, 2007, 01:31:55 AM ---I just wanted to update a little, and let you guys know that today I got an appointment with one of the top colon/rectal surgeons who actually takes my insurance! I'm so happy about this. I'll have to wait a little while to see him, but it's only another two weeks away. It's also at one of the top hospitals around. It's Cornell University in NYC. Someone that I know recommended this doctor, because her son had colon surgery from this group of doctors, and said that the whole team is awesome. I also know from others that these doctors are some of the best around, but I didn't think they'd take my insurance! :happydance
So anyway, I decided not to see the guy that I was supposed to see today, because he is affiliated with one of the worst hospitals around (IMO), and I refuse to have surgery there. I used to get blood transfusions and surgeries at this particular hospital, and was almost killed several times, so there is no way in hell that I'm going to have colon surgery there. If I had known that this doctor was affiliated there, I would have never even made an appointment with him. :mad
So, wish me luck! I really hope that this guy gives me some sort of hope. I'd still appreciate all the prayers/thoughts you can give, if possible. I'm so scared of what he is going to tell me, because this is one of the top hospitals in the country, and if he gives me bad news, then it's all downhill from there.
Thanks, you guys! :kiss
And thank you, Alnahrahmea. I know that we are meant to live life to the fullest, and believe me, I try. But sometimes it's just difficult. :hugfriend

I hope all this is resolved and you get better soon! Just to let you get your hopes up, one of the people I know at work had colostomy because he almost died from ulcerative colitis and after a long recovery, he is so much better now. He was miserable before that and he did another emergency operation halfway, but he looks and feels so much better. The recovery is long but it is worth it. Good luck and stay mentally strong. Life is long, long, long and full of obstacles. Expect nothing but obstacles and be strong. Sometimes we trip and smash our face, but we get up and go on. I have had 3 concussions -- I know ;)
