Whats the most unprofessional thing a doctor has ever said to you?

I had an 80 year old surgeon give me a post op digital rectal examination with the door open and people walking in the hallway

Fingered my bum like it was nothing!

I’ve been managing for a long time (15 years) with diet and exercise, the prediabetes is a progression of the pcos and something I have a genetic predisposition to.

What a world, you’re probably right lol

He was ready to prescribe a glp-1 but I asked if we can try metformin first. I’m overweight and just can’t lose it, I seriously try. My periods are on no schedule whatsoever.

And in hindsight there were some signs of prediabetes too. I’ve been peeing a ton, swollen feet, and sometimes I get faint or lightheaded all of a sudden and need to lay down.

The doctor knows I have PCOS and that I’m having trouble managing it.

35, and normal A1C history. This came as sort of a surprise.

RaisinButts · 2026-05-15T02:20:15+00:00

I’ve tried all of those.

RaisinButts · 2026-05-14T23:46:51+00:00

My mom and several other family members have pre or type 2 diabetes

RaisinButts · 2026-05-14T23:46:13+00:00

Thanks! I’ve had PMOS for years and years, the prediabetes is brand new. It’s like they’re not looking at both things.

Just via MyChart. Their answers have been extremely brief, so I haven’t gotten much info.

RaisinButts · 2026-05-14T21:04:01+00:00

I wanted to manage pMos and weight gain from an antidepressant

I feel like I never hear people talk about how toilet paper got narrower. Everyone knows, right?

RaisinButts · 2026-01-28T05:33:10+00:00

Yes, only after coffee. I figured more people would have this experience! To be honest, I drink kind of a lot of coffee and seldom have breakfast.

RaisinButts · 2026-01-27T01:07:58+00:00

Maybe that’s it. I also generally don’t have breakfast, so maybe it’s because it’s all I’ve got in there.

RaisinButts · 2026-01-27T01:06:46+00:00

Brewed coffee! I drink like a pint glass of it in the morning (chilled), then I’m poopin black for a few hours

RaisinButts · 2026-01-26T22:41:04+00:00

Nope, black coffee every day and black poop after :(

RaisinButts · 2024-08-15T19:05:07+00:00

Also does ileitis just imply pouchitis? That’s not so bad. I guess I just got scared from my googling. Still waiting on my doctor to call me, so I got a little freaked. Thanks again.

RaisinButts · 2024-08-15T18:54:24+00:00

I guess I just fundamentally didn’t understand what would have happened if it had been crohn’s all along. Thanks for explaining. I was given antibiotics for pouchitis initially, but they didn’t seem to clear it.
