My Dr. is an idiot

So, on the advice of a local RN who's been banded I called my PCP. (primary care physician) She was on vacation, but I left a message that told her I was having weight loss surgery and wondered if she had any preventative work ups she thought might be a good idea before heading over to have the surgery.

 

She didn't call me back. That pissed me off first.

 

I called the office and the receptionist "read to me" what the dr. had to say. "I won't do any blood work for you. Get the surgery in the USA."

 

That was it. What a bitch.

 

She could have called me at least to discuss things! Seriously, I'm angry. And this is my Dr????

Definitely time to find a new PCP........how rude! I had a similar disappointment with my PCP -- after 12 years as his patient -- he off and left the medical center he was at - and we got letters AFTER he was already gone....sigh.......doctors forget we are human sometimes - not just a number or a $ sign......start searching for a PCP who will SUPPORT you before, during and after the band surgery - you deserve a caring doctor!

She is a good doctor but just ignorant evidently. I love when people say my doctor is an idiot. You are not the first and won't be the last to say it.
