Apparently excercising my "right to a second opinion" is selfish, according to the doctor's wife. "It's really not fair of you to ask this of him".

All because I have access to a group of doctors. Mind you, having acess to a group of doctors makes getting this fixed about as likely as if I was going to a walk-in clinic.

::sighs:: She could have just said no, though. I really didn't need the guilt trip.

You definatly didn't need the guilt trip. I would have replied "It's really not fair of you to try and deny me proper care...this is my life"

I don't get how asking for a second opinion is selfish...

Well...seems there is some history...and sounds like he's a good guy and a somewhat close family friend...

Being busy makes alot of sense...it's understandable

I thought she was just being a bitch...

Good Luck to you with all that (I say "all that" cuz I don't know the deal...)Hope things turn out well. :)

it is *absolutely* fair to ask

it's *your* health, babe.

if you're not going to stand up for the value of that, and ensuring you get the best care you can, then trust me - no-one else is going to do it for you.

as for the "guilt trip"... ::shrug:: we are responsible for our internal feelings. if you don't want a guilt trip, don't accept the ticket to ride on one.

sweetie, your health is one area in which it's perfectly OK to get confrontational.

the alternative is accepting sub-standard or undesirable medical support.

the choice, ultimately, is yours.

good luck...
