You should have simply told him: "I hired you for advice. If you can not give it to me today, I will reschedule the appointment and not pay for this one." And if he objects, add that "If you refuse to give me advice, then you are misrepresenting yourself and your profession."<<<< Yes you are right I should have. I have GOT to learn to stand up more for myself. You won't believe his remarks about what I should do about my blood sugars. I love this doctor for thyroid, I guess thats why I was afraid to say anything, he is helping me-but I have got to get some control over it. Anyhow listen to this: makes my skin crawl: I have extreme problems with blood sugar, it drops extremly low in just a few seconds, sometimes with warning and sometimes without. So low that I have passed out on several occassions, sometimes I can stop it and sometimes not. Anyhow, enough rambling, I told him I was having problems with it, all while he was trying to push me out the door. It has been dropping down into the 50's and 40's. He told me well if it is "really" that low we would need to do something. He told me that next time I should allow myself to go unconscious, have someone draw my blood and then they can revive me. Dumb me, I say okay and leave. Why did I do that!!! Isn't this incredibly dangerous to do? What if I go even lower. I have a 17 month at home, how do I let myself go unconscious and watch her and drive to the hospital at the same time. You are right~ I need to stand up for myself. I still can't believe what he told me Thanks! Shell
