Way to go! You got balls because you took his! lol Dr's are always like that to me too. I hate when Dr's think they know more than you. It's your body, you should know. I don't care how long they have been practicing medicine!
When I was a teen I had knee problems (still do that's just when I noticed them) and I was telling a Dr. what I thought was wrong. My brother and I have almost the exact physical handicaps so when he had surgery and found out what was wrong with his knees, I knew that's why mine were hurting too. But the Dr. didn't listen. He kept telling me I was wrong and I needed to exercise and make the muscle around my knee cap stronger so it could support my knee. Now I wasn't fat when I was a teen but he said most girls had this problem. So for years I exercised and for years I told him it was getting worse and the exercise wasn't working and for years he kept telling me I was the one that was wrong. Well when I was 18 they did knee surgery on both my knees and guess who was right? Sure as heck wasn't that arrogant Dr. Turns out the exercise was actually making my knees worse! Jerk! If it wasn't a free clinic I would have sued! Then after the surgery the Drs told me not to exercise lol.
My handicaps are unusual in that my brother and I are the only documented cases in the world. We actually had our pictures taken one year and were put in medical journals. Don't ask what ones cause I have no clue. That's just what I was told when they wanted to take my pictures. Whatever I figure it's good to get it documented so it can help someone else if they ever have what I have.
Anyway since my handicaps aren't normal most Drs don't really listen to me. I have come across many arrogant Drs that I wish I could have told off. One Dr actually had the nerve to tell me that I was wrong for not wanting genetic counseling. He kept asking me what if I got pregnant and the ultra sound showed they had the same handicap as me? He was basically asking if I would have an abortion. Well I wish I could have told him to "go
himself" but I just told him that it didn't matter, I wouldn't love them any less. My niece and nephew are like my brother and I don't love them any less. What a jerk to think that I wouldn't want a handicap kid. Like genetic counseling would prevent my kids from being handicapped anyway.
I love my new Dr. It doesn’t even seem to faze them that my arms are different. They just take my pulse or blood the way I tell them to and they don’t even ask 100 questions like some other Drs and nurses I have been around. I think they are just waiting for me to tell them or something. They just go by what I wrote on my papers when I first started going there.
