Oh my goodness! I did not see this original thread. Becky! Wow, I'm so sorry that happened to you! What an a$$ that doctor was. No excuse for an in humane doctor. I DO hope you get someone else next time. At least you'll be out for it.
Please don't give up. It's not your fault that you hurt. I'm sorry that someone who swore an oath to help has made you to feel like a burden.
Hang in there. You are strong.
Hugs, L
I'm sorry about everything going wrong, I hope they get their act together soon as you sure don't need to deal with this too. Wendy
What a bit** ! What is HER problem! She will get her due one day, you can count on it. When my son was about 5 or 6, he had a small mole removed from this thigh that needed to be burned off. The MD said they gave him "twice" the amount of novacane (sp), but the kid was crying and felt the heat. I mean, if you didn't hurt, you would have been fine. God Bless You, Becky. Hang in there. AND I would insist on another surgeon. She is far too insensitive to be working on anybody. Judy C
Some of these doctors ought to try and put themselves in your position and ask themselves how they would feel if they or any member of their family were treated so badly!!. Im sorry it all went so badly, I hope that they get thier act together next time and treat you with care and compassion as you deserve. She definately needs to be reported , chances are others have had the same uncaring treatment from this *****!!.
Love Angie
Thinking of you with prayers and love.
Love,

Becky,
Wow, there are no words that can describe that woman any better than what has been said here!! Beotch as my kids (I know, terrible) would say!! That is just completely uncalled for. I know you don't feel like it but you should file a complaint. If you have a friend who would come over and help you do that. I just don't understand doctors like that - why do they choose medicine? I would think you should be knocked out for that procedure too. Heck, I wish I could be knocked out at the dentist. Prayers for you Becky, that you get a WAY better doctor next time and you are totally asleep. I am sorry you had to go through this. Hugs, Colleen
Oh Becky i am so so sorry. that is complete bullsh!t. You should have been knocked out, period!!!!!! I just can't imagine the pain you were/are in and i understand your 'i don't care' feelings. I wish i was with you and we could watch beverly hills 90210 and Sopranos re-runs. we could also plan an attack on that bit@h.
I've got a gun! And I know how to use it! (Texas Joke here,,,don't come and get me!) Honestly, how could she be so vicious? Big time, complain about it. It's one thing that the meds were not working but for her to basically BLAME you for having pain??? Makes no sense to me. You have gone through so very much..you are the expert here. She does not even have the 1st idea of what you have gone through here!
Okay, regroup, talk to your doctor and get knocked out next time. Heck, I'm just getting a port placed on Friday and my doc said I'll be out for that!
Go figure! Healing love being sent to you,,,,
Teresa
What a B! It amazes me that they can dismiss pain like it is an inconvenience to them?!?!?!?! YOU DESERVE BETTER and I hope you get the care and attention you need/deserve!
Stay strong, there has to be a better way!!!!! You CAN get through this!!!
I am so sorry you are having such a horrible time. Thinking of you and hoping you get some real answers soon.

OMG! You called it - she's a b!tch. There's no need for that kind of treatment. Can you request a different doctor? With my heart procedures I had Versed (the conscious sedation) but they also used Fentanyl for pain since burning bits of your heart can hurt. I didn't have any pain at all. Geez, it makes me want to scream and cry that it went so badly for you. Maybe we should all go egg her house or something. People like that shouldn't be in health care.
Rest up. Gentle hugs and sweet dreams to you.
Today went awful. They gave me lots of medication and I was pretty dopey, but whatever she was doing caused a great deal of pain and I just couldn't tolerate it. Apparently, when all was said and done, the nurse gave me SIX times more medication than I should have had...and I still managed to walk out of there like nothing happened. They have to re-schedule for another time and put me under general anesthetic...
The doctor was mean - that's the only word I can think of. She was getting frustrated at ME because I was shouting out in pain...all I remember was laying on a table bawling my eyes out, appologizing to her for being in pain. Then she just walked out...didn't talk to me or tell me anything - one of the techs there had to tell me she didn't finish the procedure.
I know a nurse told her I was upset because she came to talk to me afterwards and said that maybe when they re-book it I'll be lucky and get someone else....what a b*tch.
I am so sick of being in pain...I just don't want to do this anymore...why can't they just take my stupid kidney out? Why do they keep insisting on putting me through these ridiculous procedures?
I'm done...I've got nothing left. I'm to the point where I just don't care anymore...
Becky
I too am thinking of you today Becky, and hoping the surgery goes well, and you are able to handle the sedation. Your an amazing young woman.
Hugs

I'm offering my support along with our other friends for this procedure to be successful.
Sharon
Becky,
No doubt you are in the hospital now, but I just wanted to join in wishing you well. Yes, you are indeed brave! I don't think I could do that !! Hopefully it is all behind you as I write this.. Be well and let us know when you're able
Sandy
Oh Becky..you've had such a long, hard road. I admire you so much for your positive attitude. I hope and pray you have no problem with the conscious sedation. I had somewhat the same problem with it when they used it for a biopsy. I pray also that your strength comes back immediately so that you will have good days.

I know you're probably in the hospital now but I must say, you are a very brave woman. I know about conscious sedation since I've had it all three times when they were fooling around in my heart. But in your case, I agree with you - it seems they should knock you out when they poke around in your back and kidneys. Ouch! I'll be praying for you: a quick surgery, that things get hooked up well and that you'll be in happy la-la land through the whole business.
Thank you so much Kasie, for starting this and to the rest of you wonderful ladies for your support - your words of encouragement mean the world to me!
I'm heading out in about 20 min and my procedure is at 1pm today. I'm totally nervous - they use conscious sedation and last time they did, I freaked out so much that my adreniline blocked the meds and they had to stop! I'm trying hard to practice being calm :)
Yes, they are internalizing my nephrostomy bag - esentially, they'll thread another tube into the existing one and through my ureter and down into my bladder. Then, they can cap off the hole in my back and get rid of my urine bag around my leg. This way, they still maintain access to the stent through my back and can flush it if it gets blocked, which has been an issue for me in the past. I can't believe they don't knock people out for this...
Thanks again everyone...
Love Becky
I am taking Karen's hand and hoping and praying for a positive outcome. Much love, Trudie
I've got Colleen's hand and am praying for Becky.
Karen
I am taking Kerry's hand and holding it tight, praying that all will go smoothly and you will be recovering in no time at all, hugs, Colleen
I take Teresa's hand in prayer for Becky. I pray for you and the surgeon and his assistants, RN's and anesthesiologist's that everything will go smoothly and that you will recover quickly and feel well. Love, Kerry
Hope Becky has an easy time of it and recovers quickly...add my prayers to all of the other ladies here...God Speed girl!
Hugs
Teresa
Lots of Prayers Becky.....xoxo
I join Angie and the others in praying for a successful surgery for Becky. God Bless You, Becky.
