He has screamed at me too and I know someone who fairly recently walked out his rooms, taking her file with her, when he screamed at her, saying she was so vain as she complained about her hair thinning because he no longer allowed her to take her hormone-replacement pills (her cancer was responsive to hormones). But I do adore him. I shopped around for an oncologist before I started treatment as I kept getting different opinions from different doctors and I knew after the first time I saw him that I wanted to see him. My radiographer who did the mammogram told me that I had the personality to deal with this oncologist(this after I gave the radiographer hell when he declined to state I had cancer but said I had "abnormal cells" and when I asked what to do next, he told me to go see my general practioner - we later "made up" and we are now fine and I still see him and like him too, after I had cleared the air.....). So it is interesting to note your comment. I am fine with people I respect. In another context, I deal with people whom I don't respect, and that is difficult for me, especially if I am supposed to take instruction from them.. but that is another story...Guess it's all a matter of perception.gillianhttp://gillian-fromundermyhat.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525418211848502953.post-65197028719017419142012-08-20T19:31:58.344+02:002012-08-20T19:31:58.344+02:00Great news.
