amanda89 4 Posted July 21, 2014 Went to see a dr about my knees and his first questions was... omg, you must eat ALOT, how much so you eat?!. I almost broke down into tears right there but I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction. Anyone have any problems like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jersrose43 837 Posted July 21, 2014 Omg I hope you walked out how inappropriate how damaging. One hell of a bedside manner. If I were upset as you sound is be on the AMA website and filing appropriate complaint and finding a new doc who can relate to my knee condition with the compassion required of a physician.

Jersrose43 837 Posted July 21, 2014 And call your insurance and file a quality of care complaint too. Call customer service 7 Miss Mac, ElyQuint, Ima Fox and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelew39 64 Posted July 21, 2014 Wow, I have not had anything like that happen. Sorry that doc was such an ass. You handled that very well. 1 BeagleLover reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luvin_Life125 558 Posted July 21, 2014 I am so so sorry you had such an awful experience. That was extremely unprofessional and uncalled for. Besides the resources mentioned above, I would also contact the organization that employs the doctor. I think some sensitivity training is definitely necessary. You are a strong person and I admire your ability to handle the situation so well. 6 Miss Mac, labwalker, BeagleLover and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
finediva 979 Posted July 21, 2014 My primary doctor once told me I had a big heavy body. I still hear her voice in my head. I still feel hurt by her words. I don't believe she was being deliberately hurtful, but her words hurt. I do have a big heavy body and I'm well aware of it. Hearing her say it made me feel worst about myself. 3 BeagleLover, utahgirll and labwalker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amanda891 6 Posted July 21, 2014 He is the only dr I could get to do xrays so he might get me to step 2 of the insurance auterization package. So I'm ignoring his rudeness for now. 1 MeAndTinyTina reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well if he gets you where you need to be go for it...But at the end he is going to treat others the same way he treated you. Imagine if that was your mom or your daughter. You would lose it...In the end when you are where you want to be..I think you need to talk to him and let him know your rights as a fellow human being and let him know what he did and the way you felt.... I just recently did that to a Dr. that did not give a rats behind about me because of my weight in the past. I had to see him again and he was so nice it made me want to puke. He remembered me just a little but did not remember treating me with such rudeness. Selective memories....Don't leave it as long as I did. As when I talked to him the entire conversation was way over his head.... 1 Ima Fox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't understand. There are more doctors part of your insurance plan. I would find someone else 2 Ima Fox and Texasmeg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob2013 326 Posted July 21, 2014 While hearing things like this is hard, for all of us here it is/was the truth. I had a doctor years ago that his main solution to many of my complaints was losing weight. While it was hard to hear it, I knew it was the truth. 1 Kissifur reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

latido 178 Posted July 21, 2014 I was meeting a new primary care doctor for the first time and he said, "You? You don't need blood pressure pills. Look what you look like! Lose a hundred pounds and come back in six months, all your problems will be gone". I got angry and responded "I came her for medical care, not for personal training" and left in a huff. I tried filing a complaint but was told I had no 'proof'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
