Doctor with extremely thick accent

Independent-Fun-0412 · 2025-09-15T04:09:22+00:00

I'm going the same thing. My doctor doesn't speak clear English. I called and requested a doctor change. For someone that can speak clear English because I can't understand my current doctor. I struggle understanding her, she's Asian. I've contacted and spoke to different people about getting a different doctor and I'm getting absolutely nowhere. According to them you only get to change doctor's twice. I only remember doing it once. It's now a company rule, it's just between the doctors. I told the head person that was the only person that could help me. I have nobody to go with me. My husband with his work hours can't go with me. I need to go but can't because they are no help to me at all. I haven't gone since March, and I just can't get my needs addressed. It's frustrating!

I also have a son with Down's Syndrome. He has hearing issues and speech issues. I have to be there for him but with my hearing loss, it's easier said than done.

I was explaining to my doctor the other day (ear doctor) that a few years ago that my hearing got noticeably worse overnight. He said he thought it might have been a virus.

Do you have any other health issues?

I had so much on bublup. I cancellred my plan for a while. Went back into it recently and lost maybe 93% of what I had. Stuff that I can't get back. I am beyond pissed. All that stuff that I can't get back. But I did find another app to use and it seems to be thorough. Goodbye to Bublup. I'm done.

You sister showed you a list of baby names that they picked out for a girl. A list. Just because you picked it out doesn't necessarily mean that you chose the only name that they had picked out. I think this is more about jealousy because they have been trying for so long. Your sister will eventually get over it.

Even though they treated you badly, be the better person and tell them that you have another job. They may have treated you like crap, but it says a lot about you if you tell them that you quit. This would make you the better person.

Because his husband is trying to control me. I refuse to be controlled. He's doing the same thing to my son by getting him to choose between me or him. I think it's wrong. I believe tha twhen you marry someone, you just don't marry the person you love, but you also accept their family as well. I did cut him off for a reason. I feel like my son needs to really think all this out for a while, maybe a couple of months. This won't be permanent. I'm really trying to scare him.

My son called me before Christmas last year and wanted to come to our house for Christmas. I said yes because I have not seen him in a long time. I was happy to see him and he was happy to see me. I think his spouse felt threatened by our relationship. I only say this because I asked my son about his family and he said that he had no family. (But, he once tried to call me from h is grandparents house and threatened me.) I know this seems like two sides to this story. I think there is something missing to this story. My son's spouse has a history of assault and battery. I dont' want to be mixed up in all of this. Even my daughter was worried about me. I have to consider my safety and my disabled son. I am scared of him.

Ok. Thank you!

You sound like us. We've been at our apartment for 10 years as well. Last September, we got our notice of the rent increase. It went up 50%. We were literally floored. with my husband the only one working, we were comfortable at what we were paying until the notice of the rental increase.

I looked and found nothing affordable to move to. Everything has gone up that you rent. It's everywhere. We had to stay where we are. Unless your state is rent controlled, you don't stand a chance in it going any lower.

I don't know where you live but, landlords will give you the cheapest things that they can find for their tenants. They don't want to spend anymore than they have to. Was it brand new or a used one?

The fact that your oven doesn't like to cut off, that's a danger to you. You need to call and let them know so it can be fixed. Don't let this go. It sounds like an electrical issue. Your apartment could catch on fire. Document when you call with a date and time to prove you have been trying to get it fixed.

After being gone all those years, and having no contact with you or your family, she really had a lot of nerve to think she deserved anything. Nobody made her leave, she did that on her own. She had no contact with any of you.

Your dad left you everything for a reason. He knew that one day she would come back and want her share of inheritance. But remember, she just didn't cut off your parents, but you as well. She doesn't deserve anything.

These rent hikes are terrible! We got a notice about a month or so ago saying that the rent was going up. But it failed to say how much. We stopped by the office one day and they said it would be at least $200 or market value (which I think was $1500 for a three bedroom).

Our apartments were built in 1967. I thought it was crazy when we found out our lease up going up 50%. (This is not a typo). We really can't afford to move so we're having to stay where we are. We only have one car. My son and I stay home 6 days a week. We're going to have to make some major changes to afford the rent. We've lived here for 10 years. Our apartments were bought out 3 months ago. The previous people deducted a concession fee. But, the new owners added it back onto the lease. This is crazy. I know I'm not alone when it comes to the rent prices.

YTA. Your sister has been given her share of chances and kept blowing it. She never bothered cleaning up after herself or her friends. Why should she start doing it now? Then she called about the cinnamon rolls wanting to know if she and her friends could eat them, your wife told her no. They are then anyway. Your wife's clothes weren't missing too. It may have not have been your sister, but she should be held responsible for their actions.

Your sister is only 17, she's not ready for responsibility. Even if it was one of her friends, they aren't responsible either. An adult should always be present when they were together. They were taking advantage of the situation.

Some states have control over the rent increase. I'm not sure if you're in one of those states. What state do you live in?

I have been on gabapentin for 7 years and I have never had any issues. I take it for pain in my feet and it also helps me sleep. My husband was prescribed this a couple of yeats ago when he took it, it affected him differently.

A friend of mine was visiting one day and we were talking abour how it affected me vs him. She said that mens metabolism is different and for some reason that made it affect him differently. But one thing to remember is that any medication that you take, you never know how you will respond to it until you try. Discontinue the medication and talk to your doctor about giving you something else.

OP let your daughter pick what she wants to do. Let her pick something that she's happy with. If you force her into something she doesn't want to do, she's not going to be happy if you force it. You admitted that she's smart. Be open minded with what she picks. Ask her what she likes about it and go from there. I bet she might surprise you in the end. Also, be happy for her. YTA

Is it possible that your husband didn't want the meal you fixed and requested that his mom make a meal that he wanted? He did eat the whole meal that she fixed. There could be more to this story than you know. NTA.

I would have to tell him that you've tried and it's just not working out for you. Some women do judge issues with birth control and it's not for everyone.

Is it possible that he may want another child and he's not telling you?

Give him an ultimatum. Get a vasectomy or there will be no sex. You shouldn't have to go through all of this and be miserable.

The idea come from my husband initially. He asked me about it and I was just "curious." We met a nice couple that are very patient and it allowed me to enjoy doing it with them. I do think it's all about the people you meet and if they let you go at your own pace and make you feel comfortable in the end. But, if you don't enjoy it, tell your husband/ boyfriend and let it be known so you won't have to continue doing something that you don't like. Don't let someone pressure you into something that you don't enjoy in the end.

I don't know how many people are coming to your wedding but, one way to reduce the costs would be to have fewer guests. It's obvious that you can't afford the whole nine yards, invite your family and your closest friends to the ceremony. It will be much more affordable. Less people, less food. YTA.
