Emcee, I totally see where you are coming from. However, with the doctor AND PA sitting in there and asking questions, it was a bit more uncomfortable than just 1 of them (which is normally how it is).
Plus, one has to be blatently stupid to think they were not specifically asking questions about an eating disorder.
Again, I do see where you are coming from... I (the person in the situation) don't think it was handled in the correct manner.
Right, I totally understand it can be uncomfortable; I would probably be uncomfortable too, but I feel like if you want to get better, whatever the circumstances may be, you've just gotta suck it up and deal. If you're not eating, a primary concern is an eating disorder, and it's something that has to be approached aggressively, and if it's not there, they ruled it out.
I dunno, I was sick last week, and I wasn't eating; and after like five days of Gatorade, saltines and jello, I wanted someone to figure out what was wrong with me and help me get better, whatever the implications of that were. I went to health services, and trust me, they asked me a lot of very uncomfortable personal questions, but I just wanted to stop being sick already. Not eating for a week made it impossible for me to get out of bed, even.

I can't say the questions themselves were uncomfortable. It's more that they both were in their and were obviously asking questions about eating disorder. Maybe there was a reason for them both to be in there- there probably was but since I've been there so many times (and he knows, he even knows my name *not by the chart- lol*), I think there should have been an explanation of why both were in there when every other time, there was only one.
Ever since my sickness- (mesiteric lymphantitis)-sp? and UTI, I've been lacking an appetite. At first we thought it was because of the antibiotic but since I've been off it, I still don't have an appetetite.
All is fine for now though. I just have to go to the doc everytime I even begin to feel a pain in my side because I waited too long last time and it became a bad kidney infection too- which is why I was in the hospital.
I had my first midterm today, it went really well I knew most of the questions. There were only a couple where I had no idea and made them up. I'm really happy to finally be in a program I understand and all the marks I've got back so far have been A's. People keep asking me questions about the work, and I actually know the answers. A friend of mine asked me what it feels like to be the smart person in the class, and right now it feels really good.
Feel better, Q. Anywho. The Good news is I went down another pant size. Go me!
And I'm going to regain a pant size if I'm not careful...but I wanted those M&Ms!

Thanks soap!
And, again- did you see my myspace comment I left you?!
Congrats, soapguy!
Why is it when you are looking forward to a vacation, everything has to happen when you're away? JC Superstar is coming here the 26th, my drama playbill is due Wednesday, homecoming is next Saturday, Toby Keith is coming here....everything has to come up when I'm away!
I never get asked outright if I could be pregnant. It's always "When was your last period?" "Do you have protected sex?" "When was the last time you had sex and did you use protection?"- i.e. beating around the bush. And that's just when I go in with a cold.
That's how doctors work these days. Just because you specifically didn't have an eating disorder doesn't mean that someone else with your same exact symptoms/attitude doesn't. If you did have an eating disorder and they didn't ask you all those questions, they could end up with a lawsuit.
My fever keeps flaring up every time I sit down to start to do work. Bleh. I have to finish and email my part of my group project tonight, and do a paper that's due tomorrow morning. It would have been fine to get this done under normal circumstances, but I can't lift my head up off the pillow right now.
My mom finally called me back.
Q, I think I answered you in this thread already. I was just thought I mention to you that I loved you. I was having a good day. *goes back to doing lighter happy dance*

what's wrong elphie?!
breathe!
ugh..still sick
Everyone in the library is creaming their pants because they've discovered how to get on myspace.
I didn't have any e-mails at all when I woke up. That's always so sad.
*emails Em*
I don't have a fever now, but that means I'm freezing instead.
I need to go deliver a paper I didn't turn in this morning because I couldn't lift my head off the pillow.
I finally got a call I've been waiting for...while I was trying to sleep.
My mom really doesn't pay attention to about 75% of the things I say to her.
I told her I didn't agree with something on a grade, and that I was going to talk to my professor. So she asks if I did that yet, and I said no, I was going to email him later. Three seconds later, she asks me AGAIN if I talked to the professor, and this continues until I've told her a total of six times that I have not yet, but plan to talk to my professor. And she complains that I don't tell her anything. Maybe I would if she had basic comprehension skills.
Sooo, my calc midterm was way easier than expected, but still harder than I was hoping for. I really have no idea how I did.
Now, I'm writing this stupid paper about the Iliad. I hate writing papers.
But the good news is that in 30 minutes, my aunt and uncle are coming to take me out to dinner, then we're going to go see Raisin, the musical version of A Raisin in the Sun. Yay!
Tomorrow is the last day of the marking period, and I still have 50 zillion things to do that need to be handed in.
I just got a letter from a drama department at a college I just visited. It's a list of 25 reasons other professions would hire a theatre major. I guess it's kind of a nice follow-up, especially for my mom, who's still horrified at the thought of me pursuing acting.
Well, I just found out why one of my favorite music teachers is no longer at my school, and I'm not happy.
AP Spanish is death, and it is effing up my GPA. Not to mention the teacher has got to be most urrgh person on earth, as we were all scheduled to have conferences with her, and like during that time, she reassured me that I was doing okay in class. Obviously not stellar, but mediocre. Meanwhile a couple of days later, fast foward to today. I get my report card and there is a rather large discrepency. I ask her about it, and she goes "You need to work harder." WTF. Stop f-ing with my gpa, new lady. I mean, what surprises me, is that I am doing considerably better than other individuals, who were surprised that they didn't get similar letter grades than I. OMG. And it's not like participation or anything like that, because I do enough of that. fjsdlkfdsklfdjl.

I can't remember what time I put my laundry in, so I'm not sure when I should go get it.
I finally put away a bunch of stuff that's been waiting to be put away for like three weeks.
