    So sorry this has happened Tan.

    I would call and speak to whoever is in charge of her. Not sure if you remember when I went into hospital for a test and the Dr was a p!g!! I called and spoke to... umm..ahhh.. I forget but she was in charge of all the staff employed within that Imaging Group and she was lovely!! I just explained how hurt I was etc etc with the Dr's inconsiderate comments and she said she would have a chat with the Dr. Whether she did or not it made me feel better

    Don't let that silly tw@t get you down hun

    I have similar model care thru my hospital. I chose the midwife model of care but at certain weeks have to see whichever Dr/Ob is on in the outpatients clinic. I find the midwives fantastic, never feel rushed, feel so comfortable but with the Dr you don't know what you're gonna get and alot times I do feel rushed in and out cause they're so busy (the amount ppl in waiting room is ridiculous!)

    And now in your case there is the prob that each Dr you see may have a different opinion on the situation. Of course the choice should be yours but it would make things easier if there was the one Dr who you could sit with and help make that plan work.
