Doctors Are Not Gods

Why is it that doctors think they are Gods? Sure not all doctors think so highly of themselves, that they believe they are deities, but there are those who are.

There is one doctor in particular I am talking about. Without going into specifics, for legal reasons, I just cannot get over how much of an asshat this guy is. This is a doctor who did not believe me when I told him my symptoms. So we went through a year of exams and checkups, and various other treatments before he would do "exploratory surgery". I put that in quotes, because I knew what he was going to find. I told him all along what was wrong with me. Yet even up until the surgery, he thought I was blowing smoke up his ass.

Suffice it to say, I was right. He was wrong. He instantly became nice to me after the procedure, and ate vast quantities of crow. I am sure he choked on all of it.

Now I admit, he did a great job on the procedure I had done, and I have healed really well from it. Also I have healed very quickly. So much so that he was very surprised at how well everything progressed post op. So he is a great surgeon. He just has a lousy bedside manner, and an ego the size of China.

Now he won't cooperate with me again, in a legal matter. I want to pull my freakin hair out, and scream at him:

"Hey dick head, pull your head from your own ass, and help me here. You didn't believe me and I proved you wrong. The least you can do is help me out here. One paper. Ten minutes tops. A few questions. No sweat."

Instead I had 30 minutes of him droning on, and the man does drone on, must like the sound of his own voice. Telling me why he can't, why he won't, and :

"I feel for you. I really do. Blah, blah, blabbedy blah. But if you pay me $650.00, I will do it."

Extortionist. Smug, greedy, bastard. $650.00 for a paper to be filled. $650.00 for a phone call. That is worse then an attorney fee. Well at least my attorney fee, at the moment.

So I am back at square one. While this info I needed from is not strictly vital, it would be a great help. I just don't get it. I take that back, I get it. It is a money issue with him. I understand. Really. As I myself have put out literally thousands on this problem.

I just want to get this phase of my life over with. This has been going on now for a year and a half. Not to mention, that I will in all likelihood, have some sort of permanent impairment from this problem.

Well enough of my sob story. How was everyone's valentine's day? I hope it was full of love for all.
