Hey, see you got your puter back Jan. I didn’t see your name when I checked
on so assumed you didn’t get it back. I just posted why you were off.

Sharon,
That’s nice he got you the pump - but that doesn’t me he’s the only
pump-friendly doc on the charts. I do think I would dump him. Maybe he
doesn’t want to relinquish your control to YOU - the owner of the
*condiditon.* Next time, get the test BEFORE the appointment and get the
result when you go in so it can be discussed there. If you go back.

Every MD I deal with automatically offers copies of all test results, no
questions asked.

Anyone who does not do so, deserves a sharp jab in their consciousness.

Many years ago, the Internist I was dealing with only did a glucose test
once/year, and never even told me the result! The only comment: ‘you are
doing fine…’.

A few years later I developed retinopathy, and found that my A1c was
16…(the first time I had heard of that procedure); so much for good
medicine.

Moral: You HAVE to be your own MD, be informed, and question everything
that can rationally be challenged.

monday-i called the wonderful dr. for the results of my 24 hr urine.this
test was done on the 12
now so if i’m jumping the gun please tell me.last thurs nurse said test on
his desk to call me.
i heard nothingand this morning he acts like he’s wondering why i am
calling?he asked me
"are you bored?" WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT.sorry.this is going from sad to
stupid.(on my part
or his part?) he said he would call me back in 20 minutes. RIGHT!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I myself demand all my test be faxed to me as soon as they get to the
doctors office no questions asked. Remember they are your test, you pay for
them not the doctor, they are your property not his. I ran into a problem a
few years ago that my doctor missed, it was a potientaly dangerous problem

but thank god I went into the hospital and got the procedure done and
everything was fine. You must demand not only the results but copies of all
your blood test. This is how I feel. Don’t be shy it is your life.

i think he might have been implying he was busy and i must not have been to keep
calling him.
the next test i WILL be ready.i’m signing the release,and when he calls me (if
he does i’ll ask
him why he’s calling? (that wasnt nice he did get me the pump)

What did he mean with that question? I am afraid my short temper and I
would of said are you incompetent?
