Worst doctor's appointment vent. :/

[rosey3216]

So I went to my ob check up today.. they have changed my appointment 3 times in the past week, including today, a few hours before my appointment was supposed to be, they changed the time AGAIN. So I got there late. My bf/bd went back with me. The nurse said my weight out loud. I am extremely overweight and don't tell ANYONE my weight. It's very personal to me. I was so embarrassed... Then 2 male doctors came in. I have never had a male doctor before, so I felt uncomfortable asking questions. I have had a different doctor everytime I go in since my first appointment. I'm now 21+1. I saw 5 different doctors/nurses today. Then the male doctor said something about how my last doctor (who was extremely rude) noted that she wanted me to have a monthly ultrasound. She never told me that. When i asked why, he basically told me its because I'm heavier. Oh ok. Well that's good to know. Embarrassed again.. Then the nurse said "have you seen Dr.bradley yet? It's a woman." I said "no, I've only seen male doctors so far today" and she said "ok, I'm pretty sure she wanted to see you so ill go get her real quick." Ok. So doctor #6. We waited for 45, as we reached the hour mark I asked my bf if we should just leave or what. Then the nurse comes in looking at us all confused. She said "um..I think you're all set.." I was like "...Oook, I thought one more person wanted to see me?" And she goes "yeah, I guess not. You can check out." So we waited all that time for nothing. Then the nurse threw out there that they never got my 24 hour urine sample that I turned in almost 2 weeks ago. So yeah. Then to top it all off? When I checked out and left the lobby, I realized on my paper that not only is my Medicaid inactive, but they scheduled me next month with the doctor from last month that I hate because she's rude!! And I'm so far along I don't think I can switch hospitals now! Am I overreacting or are these people unprofessional???

Not the same circumstances but we are a military family and I have switched drs three times so far so last being recently I am 33 weeks no so it's not to late good luck sorry you had to deal with that I don't let my hubby come back until after I've been weighed for the same reason so I feel your pain there!

I had a very similar experience and switched right away. Then had another problem at the second clinic. I am now on my third clinic which is strictly Obgyn and I couldn't happier. I would change right away if u don't feel comfortable, I mean can u imagine if that rude doctor gets to deliver your baby??

omg i woulda went off on them in a professional way and asked to speak to the one in charge, i cant believe theres people that dont care and dont keep things organized wow. ughhh they needa be reported. but of course change outa that place thats hell. arent they suppose to be doing there job faster so they can freaking finish on time and have time for them to chill . i woulda been so mad. but sweetie when that stuff happens dont stay quite speak for yourself let it be heard or else they dont care at all.

[rosey3216]

Thank you ladies, just wanted to make sure I wasn't overreacting. I am definitely going to switch hospitals!

[tattoomommy03]

That's horrible. Sweetie you have EVERY right to be highly pi$$ed off. You're pregnant and should be one of their happiest times of your life not a stressful time waiting for doctors to pull their heads out of their butts.
I would switch. As far as they medicad call first thing Monday and talk to the worker onthecase. Sad to say anything involving the state or government is always a hurry up and wait thing but since you are pregnant there shouldn't be any hold up or pending. I called mine 5 times a day( no joke) with my last pregnancy to pester them so they passed it lol.
Another thing with your weight. That's not right and I hate when they do that. Try to ignore that. Another thing.g you can call them Dr and have them put it in your file to keep stuff like that between Dr and you.not who ever is there with you.
Sorry this is long but I had to get it out to ya.

I had it set up to switch drs at 41+1. Basically I found a Dr willing to induce me that day because my doctor literally forgot how far along I was. Fortunately my Dr got her act together after the new Dr called for my chart. It's never too late to change. I'm so sorry you were treated that way, but I wouldn't continue to put up with it.

[jorden_rose3]

You can switch anytime you want to. That is very unprofessional and rude. :/ I would've said something and been rude back.

[mrsstevens321]

I switched at 15 weeks because I didnt like the way I was being treated.And the fact that I seen a different Dr at every appointment

[jen_ortiz]

Wow I can't believe u had to go threw that !!!! That is so crazy how they treated u , u def should switch doc especially if this is ur first ull be a nervous wreck when ur giving birth !!!! I wish u the best of luck

[elizabethhhkitty]

Switch!!!! This just made me so mad for you! I would be furious just because they seem very unprofessional and it's important to be somewhere you like and feel comfy
