Maybe in reply to: Shalena: "Am I Wrong?"

Shalena you poor thing. NO YOU WERE NOT WRONG!! I am a nurse, and would never treat a patient like that. I too have been "dismissed for endo pain but you are at your breaking point and you had every right to push. You should tell the doctor how rude she was to you on the phone. If you don't tell them how they treat their patients they will never know. Stay strong Shalena, and we are here to support you all the way. Endo is a very nasty misunderstood disease, and very hard to deal with. Just know that we are here for you. May I have permission to run her over with my wheelchair?? Nurses like that should be drummed out of the business. Hugs and prayers to you. Valarie
