Dumb Doctors and insensative partners

[bimbicat7]

Just wondering if anyone else has an experience they want to vent about something really dumb a dr has said to them that you knew was wrong!
Also any stories about insensative partners?
My dr story is brief but so dumb!!!!! LOL
i go to the dr coz i was having alot of like ovulation pains only was really painful and all on one side, i was worried about ectopic preg or something and just wanted reasurence, i was 10 days post ovulation at the time, she looked at me never felt my tummy or asked where abouts the pain was! and said you wouldnt feel pain from an ectopic pregnancy till at least 6 wks! she said it sounds like ovulation i had already told her i had ovulated 10 days ago!
she then said ( i had merina removed 2 months ago) have you had a full period yet? and i said yes and she said well that a very good sign that you are ovulating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF? How do people get these degrees? a period doesnt mean you have ovulated!!! grrrrrrrrr!

and insensative partner just wanting to vent!....was my daughters memorium yesturday, and we went to the cemetry etc., then i spent all night alone in bed while he watched 10 mins of a movie on the couch and fell aslepp there till 3am!!!!!!!! ***** grrrrrrrrrrrrr

hey,
i just want to say that my heart goes out to you joyrenee and bimbicat. it truly is difficult to have a doctor you can't trust. my brother has cerebral palsy and it was due to a doctors lack of attention to their patient. so i know all about how stupid they can be.  my story didn't take place during this pregnancy but i think its funny. so i went to this doctor and told him i was having some shooting pains near and around my period that felt like a knife up my rear. he told me it was my PROSTATE gland. (now i looked this up after and women have a form of the gland but it has another name (which i now forget) but a doctor should use the correct terms and not tell a woman she has a prostate gland) so i smiled and took my birth control. looked up my pains online and figured out it was just contractions and to heat my tummy, it worked but with no thanks to the doctor.  the same doctor also obsessed about my weight, more than i ever have!! now, i am not saying i'm a skinny girl but i'm not saying i can't fit through the door either. now, my husband loves me and i have a great self esteem (except after leaving his office) when i told him i planned to get married and asked about skipping my period with my birth control he laughed and said "huh, YOU'RE getting married, incentive to lose some weight maybe?!" the entire visit he pretty much implied that i was lucky to have a guy want me because i am so fat and ugly that i shouldn't be seen as attractive to anyone. i held my own that visit and promptly found a new doctor.
so, now that i am pregnant i am keeping up on the bookwork and looking things up on my own to be aware of things and ask intelligent questions. cause if you dont keep up some of those crummy doctors can take advantage of you.
thanks for listening!! i think i needed that. : )

I do need to vent and I have but I don't have any words right now. I can't even address the doctor situation because it seriously gives me nightmares and I am about to write a letter to the board of directors.

Insensitive partner--- when he started defending the doctor earlier today as I started to explain some things I've noticed and am not happy about. So of course I get angry that he defends her when I feel I lost my baby because of her incompetence. Once I actually get to FINISH what I'm saying, he GETS IT. But now he's really angry, too. I didn't tell him all that to get him upset.
