One of the rare times in life when I wanted to...

@James_Bhaand

genuinely SLAP someone
Happened about 2 weeks ago.
We get a call from the hospital (wife has to go for regular checkups)
The doctor asks us to come, first thing next day morning. We go, totally shocked and very disturbed, at the brief summary that she gave to us on the phone. During the session in her office, she explains the reports and other blah blah blah. We are asked to book an URGENT appointment with another hospital (in another city), to further investigate the condition. (By this time, wife is in tears, myself almost on the brink of losing my head)

Anyway - we make urgent arrangements - go visit the hospital, all doubts are cleared - This doc says “I wonder why she sent you here” . Turns out it was wrong interpretation of the ultrasound reports and a very casual attitude from the recommending doctor.

I go back to the first hospital and now she says to me “Oh yeah - happens sometimes, our machines are a bit old so the images sometimes turn out blurry” … WHATTTTTTTTTTTTT???

And this resulted in a total shock for us. I really wanted to …errrrr do or say something, but controlled myself, thanked her and walked out.

Docs have to be very careful while dealing with sensitive issues.
In some cases it might do a lot of damage, if they dont measure and check their statements before saying anything.

All you wannabe docs / or those who are planning to be one, please keep this in mind

Phewwwwwwwwww !!!
now I feel lighter

I know it must be really frustrating…but my thoughts are whew! thanks God it wasnt anything dangerous, and they must be just extra careful.
