Barb;
Wow! It just doesn't seem to end with you, does it!!!
I certainly understand what you are saying - no more meds - no surgery - want to say "I don't care", but you really DO care! It's difficult to have any form of health problem, especially one that affects everything we do. Granted, it's not as life-changing as MC is, but it's still not what you want.
When docs just won't talk to me, I either get irate and let them know they can't treat me like that, or I change docs. I hate that - we are paying their paycheck and they treat us as if we don't exist.
All I can say is to keep your spirits up and keep us posted!
Love you;
G'ma Mary

Those who are not part of the solution, are part of the problem.
Barbara,
I have to agree with G'ma Mary. When I encounter a doc who thinks that he is too good to talk with me, I automatically assume that he is also too good to treat me, so I'm usually outa there, at the first opportunity. I try not to burn any bridges, though, (IOW, I don't "tell off" any docs, or volunteer information on why I left - unless they ask, of course, and in that case, I keep it curt and polite), but if the hospital, clinic, or anyone else asks why I left, I tell them the truth, (again, being fair and polite). Having said that, that doesn't imply that if some doc were to really punch the wrong buttons, (when he should definitely know better), that I'm going to remain cool and polite. If he or she's really good at what he or she does, I'll cut them some slack, because I might want to go back there some day. If they're incompetent, though, all bets are off, because I wouldn't ever go back there, anyway.
G'ma Mary is right - whether they realize it or not, we "authorize" their paychecks, and who else in their right mind, would treat her or his boss that way? . . . The answer - only a medical specialist. I'm pretty sure that they rationalize their behavior by the fact that they feel that they are too short on time to be civil, but really, they're just short on good manners, because when they do that, they are making a conscious choice, and they are implying that their time is worth a lot, and ours is not. Even if true, such behavior is not good manners.
Of course, for their part, we have to recognize that doctors have feelings, too, and they work in an extremely stressful environment. It's not surprising that many of them develop an "attitude". When that happens, though, maybe they should go see a psychiatrist, (after all, that's what they would probably prescribe for us, if we were in that situation)
Good luck with the scan, tomorrow.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
