Evil Willow posted:But the ENT was a man, and he's the one who refused to see OP. Yeah, and after a female GP wrote the recommendation to get it checked too. So he not only told a patient to gently caress off, he disregarded a fellow doctor probably for the same reason (being female and being difficult) rather then do his job. It's one of those "this happens nearly 100% of the time" cases where when a women has complaints about pain male doctors will absolutely dismiss it as hormones or some trivial condition rather then listen to the patient. pentyne fucked around with this message at 10:40 on Jun 2, 2021 |

datajugend posted:Huh, did i read it wrong? Doesnt she say her gp blew her off for two weeks? Well she says she demanded an immediate appointment, which may have been a problem of them not being available (VA hospitals aren't known for timely appointments). It's the ENT who completely disregarded the GP who said "this patient needs an arterial biospy" as a waste of time who deserves to be crucified no matter what. The 24hrs arguing back and forth are probably less significant then the 2 weeks waiting to see the GP but the content of the emails would be the crux of it. If it was just a repeated "we do not have any available appointments for you until then" then its a different story then the GP refused to see her. By day 2 of the loss of vision and physical swelling in the temple that's ER visit stuff if you can't see your regular doctor, but again, VA medical system so it's really a coin toss for anything serious. From the comments quote:And yes my GP requested the biopsy. And when the ENT refused she had to go to the head of rheumatology and make my case for the biopsy. He then was the one that from my understanding put the pressure on the ENT to do it. pentyne fucked around with this message at 10:49 on Jun 2, 2021 |

datajugend posted:Huh, did i read it wrong? Doesnt she say her gp blew her off for two weeks? OP went to the ER, was in pain for 2 weeks, correctly self-diagnosed with temporal arteritis, tried to get an appointment with her female gp who blew her off for some unspecified period of time, went to the male ENT who refused her treatment then got treatment a day later. Both doctors are accountable and she should take them both for every penny they're worth and give them bad yelp reviews. AITA for telling my ex he's scamming a restaurant by pocketing an accidental refund for the birthday dinner he bought me? quote:For context, I'm (26F) disabled and can't afford to pay to eat out. This is the only local restaurant with multiple items that are safe for me with my dietary restrictions. My ex (29M) and I also have a complicated long-distance relationship where this is more of a bf/gf situation even though we don't call it that.

Yeah both doctors suck was my take on that post. I just found it odd that one doctor was the villain and the other was ignored.

The brothers are definitely at the age where they're going to be black holes for food, but they're also old enough to understand 'don't eat it all or I won't let you have any'.

The GP may well have done her due diligence; she only has a limited amount of appointments. Maybe she should have bumped someone to make room for OP or recommended another service with earlier availability. We don’t know how pressing her other appointments were, or what resources she to offer outside of her practice. I’m assuming she won’t get in trouble if she’s reported but did respond in a fashion that is appropriate to her available options, and the real villain here is, as always, capitalism and a lack of access to emergency health care. The ENT should absolutely be raked over the coals, though. Even if he only contributed a fraction of the delay, he did so for no excusable reason.

MIL saw the genocide of children in the news and made it about her...quote:I live in Canada where last week we discovered an unmarked mass grave of Indigenous children who were killed while forced to live in a residential school. So far they've found the remains of 215 unknown souls, the youngest being around 3 years old. It's been a very dark, difficult week for Canada. There is so much grief, sadness and anger. Our nation is mourning. lmao wow

Lol if you think an employer will ever protect an individual employee instead of pinning the blame on them for having a quarter of the staff they actually need. Whether she blew off the OP for shits and giggles or because she can't physically be in three different places at once makes no difference.

Whether she blew off the OP for shits and giggles or because she can't physically be in three different places at once makes no difference. For most jobs, absolutely, but I've always been under the impression that you can't do that to doctors. Medical licenses are a strictly finite supply, and it is a job where you will end up with maimed or dead clients no matter how well you perform. If you fired a doctor every time someone received inadequate care, regardless of whether malpractice or negligence could be proven, no doctor would last longer than a couple years at best. Like even I know how grossly inadequate the VA is as a medical institution, and they still employ doctors in spite of being designed to kill veterans as fast as possible so the government doesn't have to pay more than the bare minimum for their health care.

Pigsfeet on Rye posted:MIL needs to go in a woodchipper 99% agreed but on the remote off-chance that MIL is indigenous, (unlikely) then I'd give her a pass if only because her generation was messed up deeply and thoroughly by the residential school system. The "why can't we just leave it in the past" sentiment is pretty common among Canadians unfortunately. We've always known how brutal the schools were but the federal and provincial governments have bent over backwards to avoid addressing it.

Bad enough when she'd spend hours making crepes or something, and her parents would take half the stack for themselves but her siblings had no idea of sharing. Her 4 younger sibs were always stealing whatever food she made or bought, even when they had jobs and could easily buy their own. Me telling her to put her loving foot down is one reason we're not friends anymore. AITA for still not letting my sister into my house after she made me miss daughter’s birth? quote:Frankly I don’t know if I’m being an rear end in a top hat. Family seems to think I am so just want to know what others here think. My sister (25f) was going to meet her dad (not my dad by the way) for the first time in almost 18/19 yrs and she was really nervous. She asked me to go with her for support. He was staying at some hotel about 30 mins away and the whole ride over there, my sister had my phone to give me directions. My wife was calling me because she’d gone into labor. Then my MIL was calling me too. My sister put my phone on do not disturb without me knowing and erased the notifications. AITA for not punishing my daughter after she refused to watch her cousin and something bad happened? quote:My sister has a 1 1/2 year old son. Ever since he was born, she’s tried to get my 14 year old daughter to babysit as she wants them to be close even though they’re so far apart in age. My daughter has declined as she doesn’t want the responsibility of someone else’s kid, especially if something were to go wrong. My sister doesn’t get it despite multiple people (myself and my daughter included) telling her.
