oh, doctors.

got mmr shot. hurt enough to make me randomly say ow for several minutes.

i don't think i like my new gp. twice i've seen her, twice she's explained about how i ought to lose weight. i've explained about how i don't want to hear about it and haes once. if i were in a doctor poor city, i would probably fight with her some more, but i'm not! so i won't!

second doctor's appointment was with someone who finished her residency last year. uh. let's just say that was not the most comfortable exam of that sort i have ever had in my entire life. ow. i have no idea what she was doing with that speculum to make it hurt like that.

If you're willing to travel to Crystal, I like my P.A. quite well.

If you're interested, we could tell you about our doctor.

Please tell me you complained to the second doctor. I feel like the only way people get better at that exam is if we complain when they do it poorly. Preferably with details and suggestions. Almost every time I've had one and they didn't warm up the speculum I complained and told them why.I feel like this is one of those things we can improve for everyone if we speak up.

As for your first doctor, what a nitwit. It's not that hard to put a note in a file. Or if you disagree, tell the patient that so they can go somewhere else.

BTW what is haes?

I believe haes = health at any size. :-)

[kalmn]

oh, i complained a lot. ow ow ow, i said.

and haes is health at every size.

Then it is time to say ow, ow, ow to the state licensing board.

i don't get how your MD thinks being thin is related to your biggest health concerns. i just don't.

i do have a health history that lends itself to where losing weight is often a sign of a good thing, but not always. i hate when people -- doctors, acquaintances -- congratulate me for losing weight that is due to illness. and i say that despite the fact that i want to lose weight -- or maintain the same weight -- but do more with it, if that makes sense.
