Such a rude doctor!

[Katielou638392]

So went to the doctors the other day and never met such a rude doctor in my life,I went because i am experiencing so many pregnancy symptoms and have done 4 test that all had a faint line but wernt sure if they where ghost lines or actual lines ,she asked me what she was ment to do about it and I asked her for a test to see if I was ,she huffed and said that now I was there she may aswell let me do a test,she dipped the test in didn't even wait and told me I was not pregnant and chucked the test straight in the bin,now if I find out I am pregnant ive been so put off to go to the doctors ,fuming x

[Katielou638392]

I wouldn't of gone to the doctor if I didn't think I was pregnant lol 4 tests all came up with lines just like my last test I did on my son ,if I didnt think I was pregnant I wouldn't of gone obviously lol anyways got more to do than argue with people on here about my choices on going to a doctor ,hopefully get a positive in the next week

Well in my area the GP's do a 'confirmation' pregnancy test and then refer you to the midwife. The op has explained why she went and there's nothing wrong with that. She wasn't to know what the procedure is in her area and heck she still doesn't as the GP couldn't even be bothered to explain. Some people have been unbelievably rude on here.

I'm only butting in because I have always found mumsnet to be such a supportive place. In fact, I can't quite believe just how much positivity having a group of women on your side can give you. Soooo, I feel some of the conversation here has turned a little judgy towards Katielou and think maybe a little gentle support would be nice. Just my opinion.

She made a mistake, was treated rudely by all accounts for that mistake, and won't be making it again. I for one can understand how a lot of us get in a state over POAS when we want to be pregnant so badly.

Katielou I think sometimes the best way is to assume if the test looks negative, that it is negative, and then wait a week if no af and try again. A lot of people don't get a result until they are a week or more late for af. It's hard to do, and I am making myself wait right now in fact, but saves a lot of heartache staring at possible lines only to get the witch 4 days late. Good luck!

[Katielou638392]

Thank you for the positive posts DizzyMerry and Dollface136i won't be making that mistake again lol yeah I'm going to wait now as I am late but getting cramps so hopefully AF doesn't show its face x

How overdue are you? . You did four tests which all showed positive so you went to the doctor to get her to do another one?? Which was negative...
And you're amazed that she considered this a waste of her time?

[Katielou638392]

There's no need to be rude floggingmolly the doctor didn't even wait 2secs after she dipped it in and chucked it in the bin wether she thought it was a waist of her time or not the rudeness is not called for same as your rudeness towards me , like ive said hundreds of times normally when u think your pregnant you go to the doctors and then they put you forward to the hospital when expecting my son the doctor made me do another test to confirm and then made an appointment for the hospital so I did nothing wrong so find something better to do than be a keyboard warrior and just being blatently rudeon a better not got a BFP !!

I don't think anyone is being rude to eachother.
katie made the original post, therefore opening a discussion.
Expecting everyone to pat her on the back and agree with her really isn't what a chat forum is about.
The comments have been about wasting s meducal professional's time, which is the general consensus of what happened.
Also her question about then why do doctors have pregnancy tests is just startlingly naive!
If you don't want opinions, don't start a thread.
I'm all up for duppott, but if I deem your actions a bit questionable or naive, I'll call you out on it.

[Katielou638392]

So tell me how I was to know I was waisting a medical professionals time when that is the proceedings of where I am from,when i got positive tests when I was pregnant with my son I went to the doctors they made me do another test and THEN referred me to the hospital,it may not be the same where everyone is from, but in all honestly there had been a lot of rudeness, no I don't expect everyone to pat me on my back lol you can put your point across without being rude, anyways it doesn't matter because I'm now expecting which I new all along ,if the doctor was not so rude and actually waited the correct time for the test she could of seen I was expecting and put me forward to the hospital but now as proceedings go from where I am from im going to have to book another appointment so they can transfer me over to the hospital as no you cannot just book yourself in for a hospital or midwife appointment where I am from you have to go to the doctors to transfer you for a dating scan and then book in with the midwifes , so not waist of a doctors time just a very rude doctor

[Dollface136]

Fair enough, each to their own. Personally I feel what is naive to someone clued up on this stuff may seem like a reasonable question/statement to someone less so. Lets all just have some to congratulate katie on her BFP.

[DizzyMerry]

There was nothing naive about it. Some GP's will do pregnancy tests before referring you to a midwife. I think a lot of posters were rude to the op. No need at all.

Wen, you're actually the one being rude now.
But congratulations on your pregnancy.
Hope your baby has better manners!

[Katielou638392]

Well I'm bound to get a bit miffed off when people are being rude, and just to clear things up again that was not rudeness that was me explaining how it was not a waisted nor naive appointment with the doctor,lighten up

[DizzyMerry]

Oh and congratulations katielou. Hope your pregnancy goes smoothly.

My older two are 10 and 8. It's never as far as I remember expected you to see a gp first.
However rudeness is unacceptable. I get lots of service users taking up my time for things they could have looked up on the internet read in the leaflet they were given last week and many other things but I'm never rude to anyone. Granted I'm not a gp but still...

[sizethree]

Soz Yeh, I was a bit rude then. I'm blaming it on pregnancy hormones!

[VashtaNerada]

Congratulations Katie and glad you have been proved right!
