kauser 0 Posted July 30, 2009 I went to my doctor today and was pretty shocked. She didn't want to do anything after I told her my surgery was in Mexico. Kept saying try to call them in Mexico. She put me on phenergan and wants me to come back Friday for IV Fluids. Didn't even look at my incisions. But I left there and bought me a of ice tea. Half sweet and half unsweet. Its the first time I've had anything with sugar in it. I was able to drink the entire thing over about 2 hours and actually feel a little better. Maybe something to do with sugar, I don't know. I'm going to try really hard tomorrow and look into some of those samples mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malaika 50 Posted July 30, 2009 Ruthi - hope it's nothing serious - be sure and let us know. I was going to call you in the morning, but I think I'll wait and call you tomorrow on my way home from work. Kauser - I think I'd find another doctor if your doctor wouldn't give you the time of day - that's just crazy! Glad to hear the tea made you feel better ... maybe it was the sugar! Keep drinking it if you're able to get it down and get yourself hydrated! Keep us posted on how you're doing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted July 30, 2009 Kauser, get some of those samples so you can find something that works. I am sure that because I liked my Protein Drinks, and was able to get in a lot of Protein right from the beginning, it helped my recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If she is blowing you off just because you sought treatment in Mexico she is not a good doctor. She also should have looked at your incisions, esp if you are not feeling well, I mean hello? What if you had nasty looking incisions and needed antibiotics fast? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruthi 60 Posted July 31, 2009 That makes 3, get another doctor, that one couldnt have been more unprofessional if they tried. You are better off with someone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malaika 50 Posted July 31, 2009 I think I'd have asked her, too, if she remembered the oath she took when she got her MD license ... HELLO!!!:confused::001_tongue: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
