| Now I'm hot under the collar!!! My dh is having knee surgery next Tuesday. Last week he went to his primary doctor to get medical clearance and he was to get bloodwork and an EKG. It is the first time he is seeing this doctor mind you. The idiot says my dh doesn't need the EKG because according to him, he "has good ears". I wasn't able to go to the doctor with my husband that day. Well the surgical center just called me and told me that my dh can NOT have the surgery without the EKG. This doctor is an idiot. I called the office and told them that if the order says he is to do an EKG please tell him they can't rely on his hearing, it needs to be done!!! As it is my DH is a bit overweight and I, as a wife, am a bit concerned (but I would never tell him) I am just fuming right now. So now my DH has to take another day off from work to get this test done, and it needs to be done by next Tuesday. No wonder I hate doctors.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | WOW. So, I guess this is news to me...but I guess some doctors have now developed the skill to *HEAR* and then measure the electrical conduction of the heart, each "section" of which is measured in milliseconds - thereby replacing the need for EKG? Well, color me impressed . Could you ask this fella the brand of stethoscope he is using bc all of us in the medical profession would *surely* like to know! So sorry this happened - that is not good care .

| Ugh! My sisters husband had open heart surgery and he went to his primary doctor bc he wasn't feeling well due to a cold and his docotr listend to his heart and said that it didn't sound good to call his cardiologist asap and the Idiot scared the life out of my brother in law and it was NOTHING!!!!! So I can understand how MAD you must be. I hope you find a qualified doctor sometimes it is so hard. I myself have had a few bad expierences with doctors. It makes you nervous. I will pray that God puts a good doctor in your path

| LOL,I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only big ,bad mean wife... I'm dealing with the ladies up front who don't want to send out a referral to a cardiologist! I know that most of the people who work in a Dr.s office are professionals, but give me a break! Put down the nail file,get off your cell phone and do your d*** job!! I'm not exaggerating, this is what happened after the 3rd trip my hubby made to pick up his referral! Keep after that Dr. till you get the results you need! |
