I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. The doctor attempted to bully me into a complete hysterectomy - in 3 weeks time. I got 2nd and 3rd opinions - both said that I had other options and that there was no hurry to make a decision about treatment. When I brought my husband to a follow-up appointment, so that he could help me remember what she said and ask his own questions, she greeted us with, "I see you brought re-enforecements" - as if she had decided that we were at war, since I didn't blindly follow her decision for a hysterectomy. I never had the surgery, opting for UFE 15 months after diagnosis. It worked very well. Also, at the time of diagnosis, I had a UTI. I told her that I thought that I had one, and attempted to tell her about the bubble bath that caused it at that appointment and the next. Both times she interrupted me and told me, "you got it because of the fibroid". Antibiotics did eliminate the UTI, and it didn't return during the 15 months I lived with the fibroids.
