PS for my own reference, in case I need to look it up,
1, the doctor told me to take a homeopathic med, bromolaine, which probably caused me to have extensive, unexplained bleeding during the procedure (it can cause that, which he didn't/doesn't seem to know but which I will tell him is very clear)
2, the doctor did a more extensive procedure than I gave permission for or agreed to. I have no idea how that happened-- longer healing, more extensive scar
Particularly this morning when I realized he'd done the wrong procedure, I was extremely upset. I have a strong feeling he won't even admit it, because the only explanation I can think of is that his nurse took incorrect notes during our meeting (two different nurses, at two meetings when decisions were being made).
3. doctor also told me to take another homeopathic med called lymphomyosot, which had a bad interaction with Emsam, and caused high blood pressure, tacchycardia and PVC s (preventricular contractions) yesterday and today especially that were worse than anything since October, and which resolved almost immediately when I took off the Emsam this evening. Probably will have to wait a few more days to put it back on.
4. he also told me I would have local anesthesia, and then just before I went into the operating room, the anesthesiologist told me that she was giving me a general. (Which led to a prolonged discussion and almost cancellation of operation.) Also have no idea how this misunderstanding arose, because I said directly to him that I didn't want a general. This I have no explanation for, because it was in the second meeting with him, and only one person (second nurse) took medical notes on it.
5. Dr he referred me to for medical clearance mistakenly put down that I was allergic to penicillin, which I"m not (and shellfish and iodine-- also not true, but not relevant), may also have put down that I had hypertension, which I also don't have ( I have if anything low blood pressure). (I wonder about this because the nurse who was doing the final workup at the hospital kept asking me whether I didn't have hypertension, even though I kept saying I didn't.--She also kept asking me if I was allergic to penicillin, etc.)
Is it me, or is this pretty scary?
