New GI doc....is THIS nomal?!?!       06/16/04 12:47 PM Edit Reply Quote bamagirl Reged: 04/02/04 Posts: 1407 Loc: Alabama Ok, I just got referred from an internal med doc to a GI. Guy comes in, shakes my hand, listens for all of 30 seconds and says "I'm not going to slap a dianosis on you. We need to do some tests" Ok, fine. I haven't had any in several years so I'm agreeable. BUT the guy comes back in to examine my abdominal area and does so with ONE HAND IN HIS POCKET!! With four very vauge pokes and an, "is this sore?" DUH!! Yes it's sore or I wouldn't be here!!! Hello!?!?!? So I underwent a blood test (CBC and Celiac panel) and now have a HUGE bruise on my arm, and I go for small intestine follow through tests on the 28th. Is this a normal place to start after a one handed exam? Colonoscopy will be next. In the mean time it is another antibiotic (Flagyl) after already 7 days of them 2 weeks ago, and an antacid (Protonix). Good grief!!! -------------------- God is Faithful!
