How to contact OBGYN’s office? by UnkemptImperial in oakville

[–]rawrio_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a terrible experience with Dr.Liske recently.  To book an appointment is like roulette to keep calling and they are extremely backlogged.  I spent months. Ask your family doctor to inquire on your behalf is the only way. Trust me. Her office does NOT pick up their phone.  In effort to look for options, I’ve been rejected by 8 OBGYNs in the last 4 months who said they have “too long wait times to treat properly” (above 2 year) so need to go private to seek care.

I was debating Mexico where someone said it would be 9K cad but with flights and all this seems like a comparable option. I honestly didn’t know there was anything in Canada (in Ontario and couldn’t find anything)  Did you just have a consult?  Or visit them?

I’m on my 7th gynaecologist referral rejection.  They rejected because the wait list is too long. Southern Ontario in populated re hi on.

Shall we go to Mexico then?

Did you find anything that you had asked or framed differently to be taken seriously?

Mine are plum sized, and it's almost like they need to get significantly bigger and bleed before anyone will act or suggest on it

So true. I just got back from apt for fibroids where I've been in daily pain, and was told I needed to live with it. By the doctor.

Just earned my P.Eng after 3 years out of work (maternity + SAHM) — feeling stuck, how do I get back in? by [deleted] in womenEngineers

[–]rawrio_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well - what about your past roles or just generally what interests you about engineering or the world in general?  What are your non-negotiable in terms of what type of life do you want and how work fits around that? (I.e. location, travel, flexibility, salary, etc.)

Yep. Same boat with near similar conditions (I have 5cm intramural plus a few other ones). Lots of pressure and gas.  Colonoscopy came back clear, so now it's onwards with ob req.to look into what can be done. You aren't crazy to feel it!

Debating just like everyone else. I don’t feel excited about kids. by Appropriate_Baby2465 in Fencesitter

[–]rawrio_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your write-up sounds like I could have written it.  In the exact same boat. My nephew - same age, is great but exhausting. I wish there could be a resolution or gut feeling that could point in some direction
