I am trying to deal with being treated badly.
The short story is that a doctor from our Hemophilia Treatment Center was beyond rude to our family, during a bleed with our five year old, while out of town. He judged us and reprimanded us without knowing our situation.
We are writing a grievance to the hospital against this doctor, who we found out is the main oncologist. The head of the department. He just “helps” out with hemophilia because he has to.
He’s not heard the last from us.
One of his colleagues called us to schedule a meeting (I think more damage control than anything) next Tuesday.
I refuse to let these doctors instill doubt in me where the care of my son is concerned. Friday night I was a complete mess while at the emergency room in San Francisco because of what this unprofessional doctor had said to our family. I left the ER with a passionate doctor telling me we were doing everything right.
You never know what a person is dealing with. The kind of day they had, maybe a family pet recently died, they are having a bad time at work, they are in fear of losing their job or maybe they have been out of work for months.
You can’t always judge by what things look like on the outside.
Be aware of what you say and how you treat others.
You could just make their day.
Today I Am Thankful For:
1. My portable swamp cooler2. Preparing for a business trip
3. The breeze on the bay in San Francisco
4. Clean tables
5. The companionship my sweet, Sheltie, Rosie gave our family for the past 10 years.
