“We will never discuss this protocol again!”
WHY THE HELL NOT?
What kind of doctor refuses to discuss options with patients?
How is this even possible in this day and age?!?!?
This enrages me.
The icing on the cake? IVY league doctor.
Your voice is important. And many doctors are entrenched in old techniques and protocols that don’t even work well anymore. From the recent one that erroneously challenged me on a protocol and then went quiet to Dr. IVY-league here who thought that a discussion with a patient is “wasting their time”.
Look: I may know more than you and be better equipped to tell you what’s best. That’s our job. Hell if I didn’t, what am I useful for anyways?
But shoving my opinion down your throat, heart and wallet? Well that’s ABSOLUTELY NOT FREAKING OK!!!!!!
Refusing to discuss? UNCONSCIONABLE. UNACCEPTABLE. UNACCOUNTABLE. UNBELIEVABLE.
This is exactly the type of behaviour that gives fertility doctors a bad name.
And sadly it’s all too common.
And Rs time for a fertility revolution. If you’re not being heard - LEAVE. RUN.
Go where you will be heard.
