Disapointed In My Pcp

[Wolfgirl1978 256]

Went to see my pcp today for the first time since surgery. I never too him about it before, because I was self pay and didn't need a referral from him.

Anyway, I went because I'm having major sinus drip. It's dripping down my throat into my new stomache making me sick, and today I vomited a lot of mucous. When I told him about my surgery, he just raised his eyebrows. He didn't ask me anything about it, when I had it, where I had it.

I then thought I'd impress him by how I quit smoking, going on three months, because he's always in me about that. He seemed happy, and asked why I decided to finally quit. I told him because mt surgeon wouldn't operate on me unless I quit. So then he said " oh, that's why, not because of cancer or anything."

He didn't come out and say anything negative about the surgery, but I could tell he wasn't approving. I was disappointed in him, he's young, and always been "with it", so I was surprised about his attitude.

...His poor attitude obviously blinded him to how terrific you look and how you're making great strides to improve your life!

Hope the drip clears soon. Can't have that taking up the room in your skinny new stomach!

Thank you!

He probably got his ego hurt a little. He expects you to tell him about your health and important life events, and you didn't. He's been telling you that you need to quit, and then you did it because 'another' doctor told you that you needed to in order to have surgery. He'll get over it. If he doesn't, there are plenty of PCPs.

Hey Wolfgirl, if you haven't had sinus issues before, check out laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR)--I developed this after surgery, and one major symptom was what seemed like sinus drainage (but wasn't--it was coming from my throat, where stomach acid had caused irritation of the tissues, which were producing mucus to try to compensate). Are you on a regular antacid medication?
