Meeting with surgeon today. Couple of quotes from that meeting. None of this was said smilingly or with a joking tone.
#1
Rowdy-"When will my surgery be to fix all this?
Dr-"April"
R-"You better be kidding, or else you aren't leaving this room."
Dr-"How long do you think it would be before people came into the room if that happened?"
R-"About 25 seconds, but I can do what I need to in that time."
Dr-"Hmmmm. All I can think is maybe pulling your jacket over your head"
R-"That's ok, I can still do what I want"
Dr-"Ok, December."

Rowdy-"So what sort of complications could happen from this next surgery. No one told what could happen this last time and look what I woke up with. What are the chances of me waking up with something screwed up again?"
Dr-"If it's any consolation I looked at the numbers and you are the only patient this has ever happened to with me."
Rowdy-"So what if it does again then??"
Dr-"Well, sue me and the hospital and get tons of cash."
Rowdy-"I will."
#3
Dr-"You might not want to know this, but one of my friends in college wrote an episode of Law & Order SVU. It was about a child molester and they needed and evil sounding name, so he used mine"
Rowdy-"He was right."

Glad it's December and not April.
ReplyDeleteWow. You need to switch surgeons. And sue this one.
ReplyDeleteSadly he is the only real bowel surgeon in the HMO I am and the other surgeons think my case is too complicated and have all referred me to him......
ReplyDeleteThe only positive is that he has at least been inside me a couple times already so he knows what is what.
But yeah, I've had better. And the woman who I really wanted to do it left my HMO before I could get this original surgery done. Dang it!
