why is finding a good dr or nurse...

[shirlene29]

so hard

you can go to the ED and not encounter a single one that isn't a jaded asshole that really is even very good at their job and know what the hell they're doing

or even a PCP that isn't a douche'

my own PCP is awesome but one of her receptionists and her nurse practitioner are both assholes
the receptionist won't give you an appointment for pretty much anything and the nurse practitioner bitches about her job like...constantly in front of patients




it's not like any other field is really like this...you can't consistently suck in very many professions and still keep your job

They're under paid

that is very unprofessional for a nurse to do that in front of patients. my ex wife was a dental assistant and the dentist she worked for would bitch her out if she was too slow right in front of the patient. The thing is my ex was only a dental assistant for 3 weeks at that time so of course she is going to be slow. but to bitch out your assistant right in front of a patient is unreal. I would never go back to that dentist if that happened in front of me. I also think she gave her a hard time because she was Iranian and I was in the navy at the time and this was right when we went into Iraq and she was seriously against it. she would ask my ex all sorts of questions about me being in the military, she would ask where my ship was going if i was about to deploy. yea a real piece a work this bitch was.

the ortho I go to and like I said, my PCP are both awesome but thats about it
I can't find an OB that isn't terrible and most of the peditricians in the state are prescription writers

our healthcare choices are pretty much limitless but it seems like the vast majority of healthcare professionals are jaded assholes

plus, I'm pissy cuz I'm knocked up and covered in hives

[shirlene29]

tagamet seems to be calming it down
benadryl and zyrtec did nothing

the OB office said benadryl only...7 hrs after I called to ask what I could take
PCP said try zyrtec cuz its a class B drug..when there was nada...called the OB again they said cold packs and avoid contact with the allergen

PCP said ...horseshit....we'll try an H2 antihist and its still a class B drug

wtf

oh thank god! any idea what's causing it????

 

[shirlene29]

honestly? the PCP thinks its pregnancy hormones and suggested male fetus and wasn't hopeful they'll go away completely till its done cooking

the OB office thinks I've suddenly developed an allergy to something I wasn't previously allergic to

Im going with answer number one...I had this happen in a previous pregnancy and I've never had hives any other time
I get contact dermatitis for the one thing I am allergic to

can u take prednisone while ur preggo?? that would prolly knock the snot out of it.

 

[shirlene29]

that was mentioned as plan C because then it gets into sketchy territory

I probably wouldn't do it unless they were unbearable and not until a cpl more weeks

i did a google search...doesn't seem like a very good idea for pregnant broads like urself...sorry

 

[shirlene29]

yeup, can cause more probs then its worth which is why were goin through all the antihistamines that are safe first

 

[cindylou]

wow that sucks Shirl. I hope this does not last your entire pregnancy, I was hoping you'd be smooth sailing on this one

 

[ricco561]
