I love my doctor, I hate the nurse.
She is always so rude.
I asked her how much weight have I gained so far? She replies with, "Our computers don't calculate weight gained, but probably somewhere between 15-20 pounds"
At my last appointment the doctor told me, "congratulations you've only gained 13 pounds so far" like that's a big difference, you can't do simple math?
I called at 10am this morning to let my doc know that yesterday I got chills, and was very hot, feeling as if I would pass out. So I had to go outside and get some air and water after talking to my mom and hearing she had BP problems with her third child I figured I should call and let y'all know. I was told a nurse would call me back. I got a call three hours later from this same rude nurse, she asked me what my concern was and I told her what had happened. & she asked me, "well how's your blood pressure now?" I replied, "uh.. I don't know" she said, "You don't know what your BP is?" I said "no, how am I suppose to know"
She replays with, " You don't have a BP machine at home?" Like seriously? Am I a nurse? No. Why would I have one? So I replied no. And she says, "Well they have machines at local grocery stores where you could've taken your blood pressure, you could stop by one and have you BP taken" I replied, "but this happened yesterday my BP would be normal now so there's no point in going to get my BP done now" she then goes "Oh, can you tell me your symptoms again?" Like cmon lady, are you serious? I wanted to go off and tell her to drop her attitude, & that I couldn't go and get my BP done because I was at a mass for a family member that passed on the other side of town. Then she continues to "educate" me and tell me I should never skip meals, and drink lots of water. So I told her an hour before this happened I had a big breakfast, and she was like, "Oh you did, what did you eat?" I replied "A big bowl of cereal and pastries" and she goes, "hm.. Okay I'll have the doctor call you"
I want to complain, I mean it's been more than once that I've dealt with her being rude, treating me like I'm stupid, or making me feel uncomfortable, but I'm so close to the end of my pregnancy I don't know if it's worth it. I feel like she would tell the doctor oh she call with a concern but she probably just didn't drink enough water, instead of giving him all the details. I am very frustrated.
You sound like my fiancé! I think y'all are right, I'm just too nice, but it would be nice to not have to worry about if my nurse is going to be rude today or not. Lol
call ppl on their shit some need to be put on blast and some may not realize how they are coming off and will appreciate it and fix it. at the end of the day you are paying for the prenatal service and so nurse's need to provide good customer service ncause she needs you just like you need them. You pay insurance premiums which allows you to use the service
my dr's nurse is the same way I hate calling knowung she will answer sometimes
