OMG, I am so sick of patient coordinators. They post here under so many IDs one would swear they change their underwear less often than they change their IDs. When we catch them red handed with various IDs they just stop using those IDs and create more!

I even received a PM from one of them asking me not to post her doc's stats. I suppose it makes him look bad but 4% erosion will do that considering global stats are 1.3%. This same doc claims to "cure" erosion with Proton Pump Inhibitors and he backs his claims up with a self funded study. That's like putting antibiotic cream on your nose to cure a toothache. Nexium, Protonix, and those types of drugs are NOT going to cure erosion but it can put off treatment until there is enough damage done to the stomach to harm the patient. It can't work and it doesn't work.

These people have no problems faking posts, pretending to be unhappy patients of other doctors, spreading links around with half truths and misinformation, but if one dares to post the FACTS of their own employer, you'd think the world was coming to an end.

Ever since Lauren and I did the "Researching Mexican Doctors 101" thread they chase me around like a neurotic yapping 4# Poodle stuck to my ankle. Sometimes it's annoying but other times I know we did a good job on that thread and it makes me smile to see how they have responded. It irritates them to see people learning what questions to ask, how to see who is dodging information, and how to research.

What really blows my mind above and beyond all is why in the world would anyone work for a doc, or why would any patient refer another person to a doc with horrible stats? Why would anyone NOT want people to research and find the best doc for them? I don't get it. Where is the bond fat people have to take good care of one another? To specifically ask me not to post the stats of a doc because it makes him look bad, how horrible is that? What kind of a jackass does it take to want to hide information like that from potential patients?

Yet these same people do anything they can to trash the good docs. I suppose if they worked for a quality surgeon with actual experience vs. the "claimed" experience, they wouldn't have to trash the good docs to make their silly, 4% erosion stat doc look good.

I guess the almighty dollar speaks loud and clear and certainly carries more weight than someone getting a safe surgery. It just seems like here, above and beyond any other place, we should be supporting people and helping them to find good docs. Not worrying about $$.

These people even started a new thread when I posted their doc's stats because they claimed I "ruined" it by posting FACTS.

Is it $$? Is it denial? Is it shame for not doing their own research before their own surgery? WTH?

People still continue to amaze me. I hate patient coordinators. They make used car salesmen named Honest Ernie look like Gods in comparison.

No, I am, damn it! Or at least, that's what just about every single one of the people that have grudges against WASa have said. :heh: They never come up with anything original. 'Course, that might be because a lot of them are the same person, but who knows?

or.........maybe.........the ones who have grudges against WABB are really WABB herself seeking attention????:cry

or.......maybe they're all Lauren and there's no WABB at all!!!!!!!!!!!!:bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

i dig these bouncy guys..that's why there's so many here..they really have nothing to do with anything.......

Sheesh.... Now I'm REALLY confused! All this time I thought *I* was Wasa.

Will the real me stand up please?

man, o man. i am a total newbie and just read this thread in one fell swoop. i now have a GIGANTIC headache.

holy crap.

People, please stop with the accusations and attacks and conspiracy theories. Thank you.

AWWWWW! Alexandra, you're taking all the fun out of it.

People, please stop with the accusations and attacks and conspiracy theories. Thank you.

Is it a conspiracy theory if someone admits they have more than one ID?

"You just can't blame treating people badly, throwing insults left and right, trashing people non stop"

MY GOSH, ARE YOU FOR FUCKING REAL, LADY?

Non-stop, you say? I haven't been back to this thread all weekend till someone pointed out that you're still trashing me here, while your other personality continues to follow me around the board replying to another, entirely unrelated, topic I started. You're whacked. And scary. Let it go already.

It's like having my own personal stalked. I guess I should be flattered.

My writing very, very clearly indicates I referred to "ANOTHER ENTIRELY UNRELATED TOPIC" that you hens don't grasp. While everyone has the right to post whatever they want, you'd think for the sake of dignity and respect you'd all avoid me in other topics. It's so disgustingly twofaced to reply to me in other threads while trashing me here. By my reference to her muliple personalities (she claims she started my Atheist thread, hello?) you manage to concoct that I'm accusing her of mulitple screen names? I'm the one being accused of being the same person as Lizrbeth. Step away from the crack pipe and learn to read. I appreciate the moderator stepping in but maybe they should check on this "Lizrbeth" person and see if she's being harrassed as well. These children are starting ignorant and innacurate rumors based on anything Wasabubblebutt posts and it doesn't seem fair for Lizrbeth, me or any other person to watch shit slung across the Internet that isn't true.

Lizrbiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit... Hey, pssst....

You already admitted it in an earlier post in this thread.

(whoops)

Oh my gosh. I can't even read this long reply. I cannot imagine typing it. I'm not sure whether to be impressed or creeped out by it!

I dont have time to read all this!!!!!!! LOL

Lizrbiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit... Hey, pssst....

ROTFLMAO.....it's amazes me the lengths people go to backtrack.

There's just no end to your stupidity, is there? I don't know Lizrbit; perhaps she's one of those skanky evil people that you insult across the Internet. Maybe those skanks are trying to make a living to feed their babies just like traffic cops, bill collectors and car salesman, and the nurse that shoves a big painful needle in your arm. How vicious and nasty you are to play Private Eye (very badly, get another job) to come up with nonfactual garbage in order to spread lies around a message board. I suppose the person who replied to my Private Message might be me, but I'm pretty sure she's a woman who goes by the name Lizrbit. You can try to back peddle again but it's useless because you've made it a point to publicly humiliate yourself, and it appears you're even starting to scare your friends away. Maybe you were a bubble butt but now you're just a plain big ass.

"Titslereaux- Maybe those skanks are trying to make a living to feed their babies just like traffic cops, bill collectors and car salesman, and the nurse that shoves a big painful needle in your arm."

I don't care what you say...you can't compare a nurse to a car salesman or a bill collector. That "big painful needle" could just save your life. I don't have anything against carsalesmen or bill collecters...as long as they are not lieing cheating scum that try to affect the health of a person by doing so. There is a HUGE difference in trying to make an HONEST living and concealing facts about a Dr. that a patient needs to know. I wouldn't let a bill collector operate on me. I also don't want a Dr. that has a bad history of infection, erosion and slippage holding my health in his hands. IT IS WRONG for someone to conceal such important information from a potential patient. To mis-represent a Dr. or a clinic to make them look better to line your pockets is disgusting and unethical.

If you want to line your pockets..represent a good Dr. or clinic...then at least you don't have to misrepresent the facts.

ROFLMAO!!! Damn this liquid post-op phase!! I want popcorn!!!

Well...here we go again! I leave you lovely folks all alone for a day or two and all heck breaks loose! Wow--it's so hard to keep up with all of you!

First of all, I have on occasion agreed with WABB too (so sue me!). So even if I'm WAY over here in the coastal region of Virginia, I guess I must be another one of Wasa's identities. Wasa--I hope you welcome your newest personality (ME! :biggrin1:) with open arms! I'm a little goofy, but I think I'll grow on you eventually...kind of like a nice fungus! :guess

IMO there aren't any "conspiracy theories" here...seems that a simple analysis of the series of posts on this thread reveals all. I'm starting to think that I might soon qualify for a degree in psychology just by studying human nature on-line! I wonder if I can turn this into a research project somehow for college credit?

You and me both! Something along the line of "An Analysis of Online Interaction Among Members of a Weightloss Support Website?" Hey, find the right professor, and I'm sure you could make a convincing pitch for it. I've seen research papers that had less to work with. Hell, I saw someone's mock-up for a poster presentation on sex and the presentation of women in media. If they could do that, surely this site would be fair game. Hell, I'd read it. But then again, I read ornithological research journals for fun, too. :madgrin:
