Cat Scratch Fever, its not just a song.

I think the main problem resides in the doctor's wording. Many doctors don't have the speech skills necessary to bring things like that in a way that's not ham-fisted. And then there's others that can't keep from pussy-footing around and not telling. It's a matter of personality which you prefer.

Also, there probably are doctors that get rightly pissed off when a patient with no medical formation tells them they're wrong because 'they've looked on the Intarwebs'. Regardless if the patient is right or not.

So then when the first doctor asked me if I bumped my arm, if my arm got hit somehow, or did I get bitten. That was all for show obviously, and he did it solely for my benefit to make it appear that he was in fact not actually listening at all. Then when I did offer any kind of information, she's just a dumb patience that doesn't know jack shit as to what the hell she is talking about. Apparently. Yeah. Someone else did listen the 2nd time around.

As for those ferocious beasts that I have. Only one kitten remains.

An amoeba is trying to swallow your cat, and all you do is take a picture?

:cheeky: That made me laugh, LOL. THATS what I have Amoebasitis. O_o

That was my daughters doing, she put a hair scrunchy on him.

All I mean is that there is a distinct possiblility that your doctor got all up in its ego, because he knew you were right and couldn't bear to be wrong. There IS such a thing as a doctor's overinflated ego. That and doctors are people too, and people act like cocks sometimes. Or are just plain mistaken.

However, if you want to know why he wanted you to see a surgeon, ask HIM, not the internet. If he's ever worth what he pretends, he'll tell you why. While you're at it, why not asking him why he didn't believe you.

I was just being sarcastic, I agree with you, who knows what exactly runs through his mind. I will discuss things further with him, the next time I see him. :--)

Oh. It totally flew right by me. I suppose THAT was that buzzing sound this afternoon. Besides, nice kitties, which I "DO NOT WANT". There's already enough hair around here.

I forgot my sarcasm tags this afternoon, so sorry. Believe me, I do not want anymore animals right now, I have enough, and have had enough lately.

Enough hare? or hair? ;)

BA I don't really get why you got so wound up with this odd allegation of me liking to "prove people wrong". That's a pretty bizarre motive for anything, to say the least. Don't you think, rather, that it's because I believe (and in this case know) that I am correct?

In my opinion your GP didn't really do anything wrong, but that is according to you - that may be because you didn't give us all the information about your symptoms. Your cause wasn't helped by having a twit in your corner.

To conclude - your initial post suggested that the original doc you saw misdiagnosed you/mismanaged your case. This is, in fact, incorrect and I was pointing this out both for your benefit and for that of others who may read this thread.

Cute kittens btw.

YOU'RE being the twit here. Let it go already. Jesus, I hope you're not planning on being a doctor... what an arrogant, twattish attitude.
