Hi all
Feeling better thank you - at work so have to be quick, but just wanted to send some hugs to D4phne & Edie {{{HUGS}}}
I'm all for educating student doctors about mc, the newly qualified SHO who was on duty at my original scan, was so unsympathetic, and had no concept of how I might be feeling emotionally, and he told me my ERCP was going to be done under local anaesthetic, which terrified me! The consultant later apologised and said they had a new group of SHO's in the department who didn't have much experience. But why let them loose, unaccompanied, with vulnerable women then who have had one of the worst experiences of their lives?
Have to agree with each GP varies in how good they are, during my mc I saw every single doctor in my practice, because they were always emergency appointments due to the ongoing heavy bleeding after my first ERCP. They were all very sympathetic, but the best was the 1st I saw initially, who saw me, gave me a big hug and said she'd had an mc 7 years ago and she knew exactly how I felt. I promptly burst into tears and she signed me back off work for the rest of the week! It then took 72-hrly trips to different doctors, interspersed with 2 courses of strong antibiotics for suspected infections for 7-8 weeks, before they sent me for a rescan to discover the cause of the bleeding - which was retained pg-products and meant I had to have another ERCP. Could have all been cleared up much sooner, if one of them had refered me for a scan sooner! Sorry - still really frustrated about it all, as it wasted about 10 weeks of valuable TTC after the mc and left us only one chance for TTC before DH went away over the summer - AAAHHHH!!! - I thought I was getting over it!!
anyway, onto more positive things - he's back in a week!
