yesterday was my follow up at the boob doc. when i checked in the secretary says "you have a mammogram then meet with the doctor..." i said "no, i can't have a mammo, i'm pregnant! that was cancelled 2 weeks ago and i confirmed again with someone LAST WEEK about not having a mammo." so the secy checks my file and checks the computer and NOTHING WAS NOTED THAT I HAD CANCELLED NOR SPOKE WITH SOMEONE. WTF? she said that "maybe one of the volunteers called me and just didn't note it in the file." i don't WANT to talk to a volunteer about my boobs. i'm supposed to talk to a nurse or doctor!
then i waited **45** minutes for the appointment, during which i got nauseous cos some woman reeked of cigarettes and i was stuck between her coat (hanging on the coat rack) and herself. i told the secy that i'd been waiting 45 minutes and she apologized and said someone would be with me in a bit. about 15 minutes later she came out and said my doctor was behind in consults and did i want to wait or reschedule. I WANTED TO CANCEL but decided to stay. a few minutes later i'm whisked back to a room and i talk to a nurse. ten minutes later the doc comes in and checks my boob. he wants to do a mammo after i have the baby. they had no concerns really since the lump was just a boil from my HS. THE DOCTOR SPENT LESS THAN 3 MINUTES WITH ME. I HAD TO WAIT A FUCKING HOUR AND A HALF JUST TO BE TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH ME TO START WITH, BUT I STILL HAVE TO HAVE A BASELINE MAMMO. WHAT A FUCKING JOKE!!! and i THINK i had to wait so long becos they KNEW i had no problem. what a bunch of assholes!!
i went to check out and schedule the mammo for next year. while i was waiting i read my chart notes. SOMEONE HAD NOTED IN MY CHART THAT ON 5/19 SOMEONE CALLED ME TO CHECK ON THE LUMP AND I SAID IT WAS FINE. NO ONE CALLED ME ON THAT DATE. THEY CALLED ME ON THE 14TH (SEE MY PREVIOUS POST, I BLOGGED IT). SOMEONE FALSIFIED MY MEDICAL RECORD. I WISH I COULD SUE. by the time i got to the car to call hubby and mom i was so red and my heart was pounding i thought i was going to have a heart attack. i was PISSED. what a fucking waste of a day. and all for nothing!!!
and then today i had some spotting. nothing major, just a swipe of red when i peed this morning. but it freaked me out enough becos i'm early enough to lose this baby. i thought it was becos i was so angry yesterday. and then it made me angrier that my ob/gyn put me in this situation in the first place!! i'm so tempted to switch to another ob/gyn. the office i go are full of nuts!!
now i know why so many women are opting to have their babies at home with doulas. if i didn't have high risk problems, i'd do the same.
