The first GI was extremely arrogant and that's putting it mildly. Without going into the whole story, when we left my husband said "What a jerk!" That was the first time my husband had gone with me to that Dr.
This last one came in with a very serious look on his face. His body language should have given me a clue. He wasn't arrogant but appeared to be extremely irritible. He was short with me and only wanted to focus on the IBS. I had 3 things I wanted to discuss and had asked for extra time to go over this with him. I wanted to know why I'm having pain in the esophagus. He tried to get out of that one but I was persistent. Finally he said just take Nexium. How do I know there isn't something else going on there? As far as my stomach going through total shutdown, he has no idea why. Apparently he doesn't care either or he would have made some suggestions. How do I know there isn't an ulcer inside or worse? He chalked everything up to being hormonal because I'm in Perimenopause. Easy way out. What he said could be true but how can you really tell unless they scope you. The barium swallows don't do jack - I've been there already.
I refuse to go back to either one of them. I give the facts and have an open mind but I refuse to be humiliated and left out to dry.
