Revenge Fantasies?

Remember that scene in Pretty Woman when she goes back to the store after those women were mean to her? Love it!

Wondering if anyone had paid back anyone that treated you like crap, made fun of you, dismissed you when you were overweight. I mean the best revenge is living well but wondering if anyone has any interesting stories.

In a week I will see a Doctor that felt that I was not worth his time because I was fat and obviously did not care about myself.....He never said that straight out but the comments that he made showed he had no interest in helping obese people....I kept pointing it out to my hubby but he could not see it..Until the time for surgery came and the Doctor did not want to do the procedure...He wanted me to stay on dangerous medication for the rest of my life....

I know he won't know me...but I know him....It really will be interesting how it goes this time :angry:

Ummm, I find myself curious as to why you would return to a doc that you know doesn't really care about the patients..

At any rate, I hope that your appointment goes well and you get what you need from it.

I am returning so that he can fix whatever is wrong with me now...When you get a Doctor in Canada unless he/she has killed someone with a shotgun you keep them...Okay a bit of an exasperation...lol.... .Doctors are rare here. We can't just drop them willy nilly...Our system is different here then in the States...We don't have tons and tons of Doctors.....I have not seen him since 2006....My GP said I had to see him...He is an ass but he is the best at what he does here....So splitting hairs....Yes it is not my idea of a good time...but I have no choice but to see him......

Yikes... I'm sorry. That sounds like it sucks. Thanks for explaining that to me. It didn't even occur to me that you might be working within a completely different system than what I'm accustomed to. Some of our systems are less than ideal as well. I've spent more than a decade in our military health system. You pretty much get whoever you are assigned, which appears to be similar to what you are dealing with, but they get reassigned so often that you never have an opportunity to build any kind of relationship. It's good when you get a crappy one, but sucks when you finally get one that treats you with respect. Fortunately, I have the option of getting private insurance through my employer. I had to give up $500 a month in health reimbursement account contributions to do it, but I get to make my own choices now, so I feel like it's worth every penny.

Best of luck!

My ex husband only introduced me to SOME of his friends because he was embarrassed of my weight. We've been divorced for more than 10 Years (and I have a great hubby now) but I can't begin to tell you how good it felt when he came to my office to pick up some old military documents of his that "I found". I had them for several years but was just waiting. It felt awesome. He didn't even say anything. He just kept looking at me. I went out of my way to have him follow me back to my office rather than bring the papers to him. I'm telling you. We was floored and had no idea what to say. I loved EVERY minute of it. HA!
