Totally pissed (sorry, no better words to use)

I am so mad and so upset I can't even see straight. (on top of my story my computer network keeps going down right when I'm almost done and I lose everything)

As many know I was diagnosed in 1997 with stage 4 Endo. That's about all the truth I have had since then. I am going through the process of scheduling my surgery in Atlanta at the CEC. So before I can tell you what I have just learned I have to give some background...(sorry)

When I finally found my GYN (White Rose OB/GYN) who diagnosed me I felt so relieved. I finally found someone who cared about the pain I was in and wanted to do whatever he could to help me. Right away, within a week, I was scheduled for a lap and laser ablation. Before I came out of anathesia (sp?) my doc told ex husband and mother-in-law that I was diagnosed with stage 4 Endo and he lasered it out. (we all know it's not a cure but at that point I didn't). My next period I was in pain again. He told to to get pregnant right away....never happened and when that wasn't happening I started all the medical therapy known to man. A year later I was in for another lap and laser ablation.

(This is where I usually get bounced off the internet)

So just a bit ago, Dr. Sinervo called me to go over my records in detail. He told me point blank that during the first surgery my doc opened me up, looked around and closed me back up. Done. the records stated that I had severe Endo and it was too deep and wide spread for him to be able to do anything with it and in fact I did have Stage 4 Endo.

(Booted off but this time I was smarter, I copied most to an email so I wouldn't have to retype all of it again).

Anyhow, I feel so stupid and mad and taken advantage of. I guess my GYN thought as long as I believed he was helping me I would keep coming back and putting more money in his pocket. I am mad at myslef because I never requested my medical records. I didn't even think to. I trusted this doctor to be helping me and not lying to me. If I can give any of you advice...get copies of records. And don't take no for an answer. They belong to you and you are entitled to them.

Now Mike (husband, fiance...whatever) all he keeps talking about is a malpractice suit. I don't even want that kind of pressure on top of everything else. I know this was a long time ago but it still hurts when you find out some one you trusted lied to you. There is so much more that I want to get out but I can't even put it all into words right now. I can't think straight. So thank you for taking the time to listen to me once again.
