A month or so ago I went to the emergency room because I was having pains in my left side, and my period was late, I have a history of ectopic pregnancy, so I went in so they could check to see if that was. So they give me a pregnancy test, negative, and do a pelvic exam. At this time the Doc is like, everything looks normal, lets do a pelvic scan and a cat scan. At this time he asks me if there's any possibility I have contacted a STD, my hubby was in the hall and this is when he asked me, I said NOT A CHANCE.
So, I get all the scans done, and they move me to a room while awaiting results. My hubby and I were watching TV, and the doc comes in, and says he's leaving, but another doc will come tell me the results of my test, then he says, I have been thinking about what could be causing this pain within your home, he then tells me he thinks I have a STD, PID, Pelvic Inflamatory disease, now at this point I am wondering 1, is my hubby cheating on me, and 2, why is he saying that, he said I looked normal. He starts a antibiotic drip, and says, see you later.
10 minutes later a Doc comes in and tells me my tests are fine, I have a small cyst on my ovary, but this is normal with a woman that's about to mensturate.
So why did this doc, say all that STD stuff? I went home, and checked the web for symptoms of PID, I had NONE. I am so mad because it caused me so much stress and embarrassment. While we were checking out the nurse came in, and I asked her, why do I have this antibiotic drip, and she said, well you have PID, and I was like, that's not what this other Doc said, and she checks the charts and was like, I am sorry, I don't know why he said that. I have never even had history of a STD. I am pretty mad. I want to sue, but don't know how it would go.
