Another doctors appoimtment

Hi all,

I have ANOTHER doctor's appointment on Thursday. I am kind of nervous to go. I am not sure what he is going to say. This is the same doctor (GI) that listened to my lungs and diagnosed me with IBS. (Not sure of the connection between lungs and IBS). I am fairly positive that I have gallbladder problems and I think that he is just going to blow me off and say you have IBS.

How do I get him to take me seriously and actually do something other than say its IBS?

I have been in pain for weeks and even worse when I eat.

Thanks,

Rachel

Hi Rachel,


Sorry I didn't reply sooner, but for some reason your message didn't show up until today. I will be sure to mention this to our techies, to see if something needs to be tweaked.


If you don't feel that this doctor takes you seriously, can you see another? There is no reason for you to have to continue being in pain! If he still refuses to look any further into testing for other issues, please consider seeing someone else.


Let me know what happens at this appointment, OK?
