Surgeon Testimonial

Scot Currie
Dr Currie - - - was excellent. I am 5 days out and i have had no single complications. i had no pain what so ever...only gas pressure...which i magine may be just as bad....lol...but at least i didnt have pain and gas pressure. I honestly feel like he did a great job and i have faith that the new tool he has fashioned for me will work very well. Personality wise i would reate him as good. first time i met him at a support group he was very freindly. he had this sweet smile and listined to everything i had to say patiently. when i met him for my consultation he wasnt that patient. i had TONS of questions typed out and i got the vibe that he was getting irritated. He seems to be a very stright to the point kinda guy...lil cocky. When i saw him right before surgery he was nice and had that sweet smile that melts you...hehe. rnrnAll in all i would say dr currie is excellent in terms of the surgical procedure he knows his stuff...and i was comfortable trusting my life with him. he explained how the procedure worked and all the risks, their practice's complete after care program. I would give him the highest marks for surgical competence. Personality wise i would say its good...may be excellent depending on the day you catch him (however its prob same for most ppl.). Also unfortualtely he was off the weekend of my surgery so i didnt get much time to get to experience his bedside manner. rnrnDr Davidson - - - was awesome! Excellent personality. he has the best bedside manner. Dr currie my actual surgeon was off for the weekend, and he was the on call dr that weekend so he came to check on me several times. he was great. he chated with me, and made lil jokes here and there. i loved him...and ladies he is HOT!!! i have a pic of him ...but he looks even better in person and he smells great too! lol. great eye candy for a healing body. lol it was like emothional theraphy...lol. ok enough about the hottiernrnrnDr DeMarco - - - was good also he stopped by with dr davidson and parshar the first day. i didnt chat with him that much...but the lil small talk we had i think he was nice. im sure i would have liked his personality if i got to spend lil more time with him.rnrnDr Parshar - - - (the surgical resident) was great also. He checked on me ALOT. he was very friendly and careing. lil on the cockey side...but not to the point it becomes ignorant. he was sooo hot! omg...lol. rnrnOther residents - - -there were other residents that came one time with dr davidson. One came one time on his own. they were very nice. cant remember their name cause i didnt see them that much.rnrnDr Wigger - - -He is nice and very knowladgable. i saw him during my initial consultation and my final apt before my surgeryrnrnTheir office staff - - -leave alot to be desired. i am not happy or satisfied with the way they relate to me as a patient. You get put on hold ALOT, issues are usually not resolved on time, they often have attitudes like your bothering them etc... I feel they are understaffed. This being said i would just advise a pre op to be aware and decide what is really important to them. The surgeons and the in house doctor are excellent. However, most ppl reserch only the surgeon but the staff is just as important even if not more beacuse you only see the surgeon 2ice and about few more times after surgery. majority of your dealings are with staff.rn

I cut my huurrrrrrrrrr !
posted on 6/24/07 10:16 pm
Hi Guys !  I cut my hair.  

This is my 2nd time going au natural. i stopped perming my hair about 4 months ago. i intended to keep it braided up. After i took my braids out this weekend, i didnt really know what to do with my hair.

 I wanted a change, so i decided to cut it. My momma did a good job ! She cuts her own hair so i got her to gimmie a buzz . It felt great getting it cut off, it was like a release. It took me lil bit to get used to my new look but i like it. I will proberbly add some color and experiment with wigs and eventually grow my hair out, and maybe go back to perms when i get tired of having it short. 

Most of my friends are shocked, some think i shoulda just put a perm back in and others love the new cut and some dont really care. My cousins hate the cut. its concerning not beacuse they hate it but beacuse they have bought into this whole theory of beauty meaning you need long pretty stright hair.  

My cousins have natural hair, its very long beacuse they have grown it out since birth, but its not permed. Every time they see kids with log stright hair they love it. When i permed my hair couple years ago after being natural for a while, they loved it and wanted to play with it all the time. 

Anyway i say all this cause im concerned about their ideas of beauty. I am trying to teach them that beauty come in all diffrent shapes, sizes and textures.  I hope they learn but its hard when they hear the opposit from their mother, media and society. 

As black ppl i feel we need to learn to accept our natural selves. Im not saying every black person should walk around with a natural do. I am saying that we should love our selves, choose a style beacuse we like it and not beacuse it accepted in society.

I used to be like that too, but now i know better.  Natural, permed, locked whatever is beautiful. Its hair...it will grow back.
