Back again

I just wanted to have a vent about a GP I saw yesterday if that's o.k? - My regular GP has gone a bit troppo since her marriage break-up (crying to patients!) so I thought I'd just see the new Doc because I only needed a Met script.

Anyways, he asks me why I'm taking Met so I tell him that I have PCOS and he says "what does the Metformin do?" so I explained that it regulates my cycles to a certain degree and without it, I go months at a time without AF (hellooooo patient here - shouldn't YOU be telling me what it does grrrrrr! ) so he looks at DH, laughs and says "isn't it preferable to not have a period - especially for you?" this was my hubby's face ---->

At this point, I was starting to boil but he asked me about our TTC journey and the PCOS so I started to explain it all to him and he began waving his hands at me in a 'shut up' motion DH stands up and says "obviously you don't care Doc so if you give us the script we'll be on our way" - Doctor says "oh no, I do care, do you think I need to do some homework on PCOS?" to which DH replies "errrrrrr yes!" and then he took the cake with this comment.......

"Not many people know this but I will tell you - if you lose weight you will cure the PCOS - it's the only known cure for PCOS and therefore I don't believe in PCOS only in overweight women who believe they have it"

On top of that, I told him that I have a 16 day luteal phase and he says "no you don't - I practice evidence based medicine and the luteal phase is 14 days long ALWAYS!"

Phew! I feel better after getting that out LOL! Sorry about the rant, it's just been bothering me since yesterday
