    Doctors

    Hey Kim, wife & I will start our very first ISCI cycle 2 weeks from now....we're really nervous / exited / anxious / all of the above / about it.

    It really pi$$es my off the way some doctors treat patients. 12 months ago I went in for a routine check with my GP and told him I had a mild pain in the groin and that we've been trying to conceive for the last 18 months with no success. He requested a spermogram, which sent directly to the urologist. The pain turned out to be sports-related, but then -out of the blue- he told me "oh...your sperm count is not good at all. Your only option to conceive is with IVF". What the ....? Just like that?. No preparing the patient, no easing the news?. I felt terrible. There was no need to do that.

    Doctors / Nurses : Please remember there's a human being behind the x-rays / sperm count / blood analysis your holding in your hand !!.
