“I was disappointed in the amount...”
I was disappointed in the amount of time given by doctor Abernathy. I spent most of the appointment relating my issues to his intern/resident, and when I finally got a chance to speak with Abernathy-because I did not have the imaging he desired (CT Scan) and only and ultrasound-I was dismissed within five minutes because he could not palpate a hernia. Though my CT Scan (off-site) revealed an umbilical hernia and my ultrasound (performed at BSW) revealed an indirect inguinal hernia on my left side. Abernathy said ultrasounds are unreliable and he wouldn't even consider it as reliable evidence of my issue. So where does that leave me? After two months of appointments, scans, and hundreds of dollars later? I was looking for a way forward, some explanation, or some possible solution. Instead I'm shooed out of the surgeon's office, told I have to hunt down my CT Scan images and come back another time. Needless to say I was left feeling helpless and discouraged AND, most importantly, still in pain with no end in sight.
