Dr. Rant ( Warning: M/C and way TMI mentioned)
So last weekend (week 3 after the miscarriage) I am still bleeding, and was starting to get concerned that I might have an infection, since I was having what might be other signs, which according to the internet is not uncommon, especially if you bleed past 2 weeks. So I wait till Monday and call the Dr. I leave a message with his nurse to that I'm not sure what I need to do have him call me. Nope, no call back. I call Tuesday morning, talk to the nurse (I knew he was not in the office that morning since I originally had my 12week apt scheduled for that day and had to change it, before the m/c) who says "let me see if he left me a message yesterday, Oh yeah he left an order for you to get a U/S done, I'll send it right over to the hospital so you can schedule it". So I wait an hour call the hospital and make an appointment for the next day (which was now Wed. ) per the order the Dr. Wrote on MONDAY.
I figured the Dr would call me Thursday with the U/S results. Nope I called at 3:30 Thursday saying hey can someone call me and let me know what's going on? No call. Friday morning around 11:00 I called AGAIN. Talked to the nurse AGAIN, who said, well he said you "could" consider a D&C......ooookaaayyy does that mean I need one? I should have one? Something's wrong? WTF? I'm not the Fucking Dr, how the hell am I suppose to know if I should have one done. She said well why don't I set up a pre-op apt on MONDAY for you. Write down all you're questions to ask him on Monday.
Lovely I get to pay another $20 co-pay to this freaking Dr who will probably once again not even do an exam. This is the THIRD time I will go to his office to "talk", both other times he looked at me and said "why are you here?" Um 1st time I'm f*ing bleeding during a pregnancy and the ER doc said to follow up with you, and the second time, I had a miscarriage you freaking moron. I thought you were "suppose" to come in especially since you gave me the "look" and didn't believe me when I told you I had one a year and a half ago and didn't go in.
****WARNING TMI FOLLOWS***********
So in the past week the other symptoms I was worried about are for the most part gone, but I've started passing tissue again, and the bleeding has gotten supper heavy again. Honestly it almost seems like it's starting over again although I haven't passed anything nearly as big as when I lost the baby. So now my mind is finding all these off the wall explanations, like I was pregnant with twins and this baby died first, but in my body's attempt to get rid of it I miscarried the other one who was perfectly healthy, or something wired like that.
I am SO done with this moron. I figure I'll "finish" the miscarriage with him because I honestly don't think I could get another Dr to see me right now, but after that I am SO done, and I plan to tell him next time he hires a nurse he should make sure that in addition to the cute perky blondes he seems to favor, he should make sure they have a brain and are responsible enough to deal with sensitive issues. Maybe if they're over 25 it will help.

I'm so sorry Beth. I would totally kick that doctors butt! How unprofessional for him to just brush you off like that and for the nurses to tell you that you might need a D&C. UGH! (((HUGS)))

Wow that stinks. I hate Dr's sometimes and their nurses are even worse. I hate my womanly doctor and am in the process of finding a new one.

So what is it about gynos that they totally do not understand that even more than other stuff this junk scares the shit out of us. Not to mention : hey we're dealing with more than one patient and/or the place where that second little patient is kept? Get a grip DOC.
HUGS on the bad advice and crap. Why can't they just get it together and let you know if it's serious huh?

WTF? WTF are you supposed to do with this "information?" I cannot believe they treat people like that. I'd write a letter to the board, honey. Fuckers.
((HUGS))

That's really scary. That's what happened when I M/C years ago...I had leftover...stuff. I went to the er and they admitted me...A uterine infection can be deadly serious. I can't believe your doc!

I can't comment on the D&C because
A) I trusted my ob/gyn when she went over the info with me and she is someone I trusted to do it right and not puncture anything and
B) I actually needed it. After the initial day of the m/c I stopped bleeding. We waited almost two weeks from the day I lost the baby to do the D&C and two more ultrasounds to make sure there really was no growth first :-(
Find another doc NOW. No reason in the world you have to "finish" with him, and you need a doc you trust.
