[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 671143, member: 1233"] I had a neurologist tell me that my migraines were because I was working in a bank & had children. If I wanted to work then I should give up my children because they would grow up to be awful people because I didn't love them - mothers who love their kids don't work. Mothers who have jobs end up with migraines and other neurological problems because our brains are not capable of working (esp in a men's field like banking) and having children. Pregnancy changes the female brain so it can't think like a man and this is the reason mothers should not work - their brains just cannot handle it. The guy was fanatical about his ideas about working mothers and at one point I thought he was going to hit me when I asked how children and a job caused migraines because mine started before I even started school. The resident with him (supposed to be learning from him - scary thought) thought he was going to hit me also. After I got away from him (end of appointment), the resident came to find me so she could apologize for him. That was the first time I learned that you could file a complaint with the hospital and the medical board and your insurance co. The resident gave me a sheet of paper with directions on how to file a complaint about a doctor. This neurologist was so terrible that the student doctor working with him typed up directions on how to complain about the guy. She (the resident was female AND had kids!) thought he was starting something like Alzheimer's because of thee rants to patients. She was truly afraid that he would hit a patient sometime soon. It amazes me how bad some doctors are and how hard it is to have them removed. Though being arrested for assault because you hit a patient apparently IS one thing that will get you fired, esp if it hits the news. Of course I did NOT give up my kids or my job. [/QUOTE]
