First let me tell you about me, I am 32, I have two kids both were C-Section baby's. At 27 I was treated and diagnosed for Endometrious. At that point I was happy for the surgery and I had the best OBGYN a girl could ask for. I still think he saved my life. Not life as I was dying but just my day to day life. Dr. Martin is a great doctor. 6 months after he removed all or most of the Endometrious I was back in his office, same symptoms same pain same everything. This time I came prepared with a pro and cons list of a hysterectomy, now remember I was in my 20's. I was devorced with two boys. And I had my tubes tide when my youngest was born. Needless to say that Dr. Martin again saved me. He preformed two surgerys in me in about a years time. Both times he always treated me as thought I was the only patient he had. He came to see me before and again after surgery. Always updated me on what he saw and in short why he did. The rest we talked about at my post opp visit.
So now I moved away from my awesome doctor, and maybe he spoiled me. But I just had gallbladder removed do to it not working right. My hida scan results showed a flow of 16, and 35 is the lowest they want it to be. I was in a great deal of pain not to mention a lot of other problems. My doctor recommended a sergion for me. First impression was that I like this guy. But as I walked out if his office for my pre opp visits were I spent less than 5 mins in, I thought this guy didn't check my lungs or ears, nose. Nothing. He did no exam. He scheduled my surgery and the next time I saw him was for about 30 secs before surgery. And do to past experience I Assumed he would stop in after words and tell me about how it went. Nope didn't show. I asked the nurse and she said I would see him at the post opp appointment?! To me this seems rude and strange. This guy is nice but boy he just is not very good at explaining things, nor did I have to do a bowel cleanse the night before. As I have had to do in the past. The instructions for this surgery was, well that there was none. Nobody brought in a breathing thing to help me take deep breaths to avoid pneumonia. I have been taking deep breaths on my own only because I new to do so. I feel that this last surgery and lack of information could lead up to someone having serious side effects and complications. Or was i spoiled before by have such a great doctor in the past? No I do not think I was spoiled, I believe that Dr. Martin was exactly how a great doctor should be. And this other doctor is an example of what not to be. But what do you think??
