Stupid doctors!

believe me, unfortunatly, some doctors dont really care about their patients...

im really sorry to hear this keeper, and im sorry to put things this way, but as you said, they thought shes too old, shes gonna die sonner or later so why bother... its sad.

I am being followed by 4 medics now - a surgeon, a nutricionist, a neurosurgeon and an endocrinologist. I pay way more than we can afford, specially for two of them (neurosurgeon and endocrinologist), and i go there, sit, tell them the situation, and they tell me to come back in a month with more blood tests - they just dont do anything to me! im getting pretty tired of this actually, might send them all to hell soon and go to France where i was diagnosed Chron desiese in a week, when here they filled me up with pills for two years saying that my symptomes were cause by stress

Oh thats really bad..... Its so sad that some people just dont give a damn to life and just too ignorant... Its sad that few of these people who actually give bad name to whole medical communityl...

I really hope ur grandmother gets well soon...

I thought doctors were bad here!

I really hope your Grandmothers feels better soon.

sorry keeper to clarify i meant doctors in spain... not doctors of spanish nationality..... i know the doctor my grandad had was not spanish...

Thanks all! My grandmother will be spending at least a few more days in hospital. Seems like a blood transfusion might no be such a good idea at her age though, so they're thinking about that really carefully. But she's feeling more cheerful now that she's being attended to by *good* doctors.

So, it turns out that what my grandmother has is colon cancer With her age (92) they have to really think twice about operating on her. But whatever they finally do things are looking really ugly. If they do operate and things go well she's not going to be able to really lead her normal life and if they don't, well, then you know

I really don't know what I think, I'm feeling sort of numb right now

Oh Keeper I'm so sorry about your grandmother This must have been a terrible shock to you and your family. If you feel like talking to someone, please feel free to email/pm me...

Thanks, Vanesa. Yes, this is being quite tough

Geez Keeper, that must've been quite the shock. Wish both you and your family the best.
