		<description><![CDATA[I have been in the medical profession for over 20 years. I worked as a nurse&#8217;s aide then decided to become a nurse. It really is a love hate profession. I love it some days, but hate it others. I have learned over the years that you can not change people. You can suggest and tell them what you would do in a situation, but they will do what they want. People have to remember that doctors and nurses are people and they encounter a lot of different personalities and complaints. They, like the nurse are trying to assess the problems by the information you give them. So if you do not tell them, they can not connect all the information together to give you a diagnosis. No matter how embarrassing. I worked as a nurse&#8217;s aide then decided to become a nurse. It really is a love hate profession. I love it some days, but hate it others. I know we all have run into doctors or nurses who are complete idiots. You have the right to fire your doctor or tell the doctor that the nurse was not professional or that his office staff should do a better job. I feel if more people would do that the medical field may change. Of course it is how you present your complaint is how you get results. Try not to scream or make threats of law suits. Try to stay calm and present the facts. When your doctor is trying to shove you out the door stand your ground and let them know that you would like more time. Doctors and nurses are given only 15 minutes for appointments. Why I am not sure, but I feel it is financial. You have the right to fire your doctor or tell the doctor that the nurse was not professional or that his office staff should do a better job. The medical field is scrutinized all the time, but they need to talk to patients without using too many technical medical terms, so the patient can easily understand. I went to a doctor who literally threw my discharge papers from the door. I was so angry and upset. I asked for the supervisor and received the telephone number for the person who was over the clinic. She was very personable and actually listened to me about how I was treated during my office visit. I really don&#8217;t know if anything was said to this doctor, but I continue to go to the same facility and let whoever I see that this doctor will never take care of me. I tell them please let him know that I hope he or his family will never have to see a doctor like him. I trust that the word has gotten back to him. So please remember when you have to go to the doctor, give all your complaints to the nurse because she is passing it on to the doctor. If you don&#8217;t like your doctor then fire him or her. &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Upon leaving the consultation for a breast augmentation, I was consumed with excitement, frustration, and slight disappointment. The excitement was because the doctor seemed wonderful! He was educated, friendly, and comforting. The doctor made the suggestion of a silicone textured implant; his reasoning came from my body structure and proportions. However, as the doctor left the room the reality of the financial quote hit my husband and I! Wow!!!! This is even more expensive then we expected. Can we justify this cost for cosmetic surgery? We spent the day discussing the pros and cons. The conversation even became heated, as many financial discussions can when so much is at stake! The following day I spent my workday with this potential plan playing around in my mind! And when I thought about it, I was picturing myself doing it; I pictured the results! I know that I could easily trash the idea and just put our money towards our family, however, I have done that and will continue to do that for the majority of my life. I deserve to do something just for me! (Not that my husband won&#8217;t benefit, lol.) I bared my child and nursed her in the wee hours of the night, I dedicated every ounce of my energy to her little life, and that won&#8217;t change by giving me the body I want to have! That was the decision I made. All of the anxieties didn&#8217;t outweigh the excitement about feeling like a sexy woman again; not just a mother, but a WOMAN. I called my doctor and booked the surgery. Here I am two weeks before the date and I could not feel better about my decision! I&#8217;m ready to feel the way I felt before I was just a wife and mother. I think that I am confident in many aspects of my life; I&#8217;m intelligent, career driven, nurturing, and I try to be a respectful and genuine person to everyone I meet. It&#8217;s time for my body to match the internal confidence. Motherhood and giving birth is the most magical experience of my life; I would not change a thing about that life miracle! But, the damage it leaves in it&#8217;s wake is less than desirable, and every woman had the right to do whatever she can to feel desirable again! Stay tuned to learn about the surgery &#38; recovery!]]></description>
