Ugggh doctors and nurses make me sooo mad!

Hey twighlight mom, lets see if I can answer all of your questions lol. I had to do a 24 hour urine catch…because they wanted to see how high my protein levels were…keep in mind that I almost always have protein in my urine as does my mom…and if it was always caused by kidney failure my moms would have failed years ago..I am 12 weeks pregnant. So basically yeah, what they we’re testing for was more then just a regular prenatal test. She did say it almost rudely…like I shouldn’t be asking questions, and I mean she did say “Were not worried about baby, we’re worried about mom..” but that’s still just as bad, I kind of need to be healthy and seeing how I am only 21, I would like to live a long healthy life. I did just make a new appointment with a different doctor, and we’ll see from here which one I stick with. I feel they were uneducated because the doctor previously said “don’t worry about it Megan..” and she caused all reasons for alarm..I mean, kidneys are needed. She didn’t say they weren’t in yet, she didn’t say anything…she won’t call me back on a matter I feel EXTREMELY important.

Call and report her to her supervisor but remember you have to see this woman every time you go to the doctor. If it makes you that mad then switch your doctor.

So, you’re angry because you received false advice, but you’re also angry that they won’t tell you what you want to know…kind of a catch 22 isn’t it?

The nurse shouldn’t have said anything without first having the test results, but she did say it was only a possibility, she didn’t say it was a fact.

lol its missmagic

Sorry so long to answer, was on too long last time and paying for it now! My hands are out of commission at least for something this length til tomorrow. I will get with you ASAP!!
tty soon! I may fm instead if you will fm me with your user name.

They havent said anything, thats the point and it’s not the doctor its the nurse. The doctor said, don’t worry about it…you’re young you’re healthy we just have to take precautions and so on and so forth, then when I asked the nurse to give me some more information to make me feel a little better she said I could very well have kidney failure…without doing any tests or knowing anything, and thats what pissed me off.

It wasn’t advice, it was an uneducated guess as to what it could be, she never bothered to say that I may not be drinking enough water (it’s been 100 degrees here) or that I may not be consuming enough protein in my diet, she just said the worst possible things…Im mad because I have called and called to get some answers and still no phone call back. The whole point being that she shouldn’t have said something to an expecting young mother who doesn’t know any better. Another thing is that…and any expecting mom or mom out there might know about I feel like they’re not giving me any information. Hell, they didnt even tell me my due date until I asked.

But… you said, ‘’DOCTORS and nurses make me sooo mad!’’ …but the doctor didn’t do anything wrong?

So… what did the doctor say to piss you off?
