[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 197469, member: 1697"] THis thread brought to mind a couple pet peeves of mine re docs. Grrr, I would go to see my rheumy, especially when I was at my most ill.....usually in my mobility scooter, but sometimes not.. sometimes with my walker, but sometimes not.and grrr, the nurse would come call my name to go to exam room, and we would leave waiting area and the nurse would take off walking so fast down the winding twisting long halls......so fast, I would lose sight of her. Now come on, I am there becuz I have mobility issues, and she is gonna take off like she is running a marathn and leave me in the dust? And she would go so fast, I would have no idea where she went at all. No idea which exam room to be in. GRRR. Then toss a paper gown my way and she would say, put this on.um, Hmm...I dont think I can myself. Hop up onto exam table. Um scuse me, I doubt I am hopping much, thus the scooter. Same with easy child at her ob gyne appts, here she has this diagnosis of hyperemesis.....and they are jostling her, running her up and down halls, up and down elevators, and makeing her more nauseaus just getting her to room to see doctor? She is dizzy and has been fainting and they are bounceing her up and down up on scaled, off, jump hop up on table, but they are not ensureing her safety in case she falls, makeing me move away, and then leaveing her unsteady and such with no support. Grr, same thing with my son post surgery. ANd LOL- after he was documented to have lost ALL vision, does not even have light awareness, how many times they tell him cover your bad eye and read the chart.or funnier still, cover you good eye and read bottom (smallest) line on chart.Um scuse me, YOU did the surgeries, YOU have it well documented..that eye is useless. Then they ordered eyeglasses for protection, clear polycarbonate, no RX for seeing.......and they pop them on his face and ask now does everything look better? Hmm, well, my son, in order to see what they would say? He said OMG! I can SEE! and then he burst out LOL. We do have one clinic here, and it is entirely non handicapped accesible. and it is also where the outpatient bloodwork lab is and the ultrasound machines are at and mammo machines. steps from parking lot into bldg and then inside the door, stairs going up ---nothing for patients on ground floor and no elevator. The other thing is DOORS. Ug, my hands get really bad sometimes, as do my shoulders and sometimes wrists or elbows. But some of the doors on some of the medical facilities are SO insanely heavy or cumbersome......and noone from the docs offices inside can see the entry doors from reception......and yup, there were times I would be standing out there waiting for someone to be leaving so I could get in.
