Surgeon Testimonial

Steven C. Poplawski, M.D., F.A.C.S.
My first impression of Dr. Pop is that he scared me, we were a couple of minutes late and when we came into the meeting he said well your late! But it only took a couple of minutes to determine he is very nice. His office staff have all been very nice. So far there is nothing negative he has been very nice and helpful. He was very forthcommiing with the possible complications, did not scare me but made me think. Overall on a scale from one to ten he is so far a ten. I am still preop so I hope he is still a ten after surgery. Both competence and bedside manner are important, if I had to pick just one I would want competency over bed side manner.rnrn

A Date!
posted on 4/9/08 11:50 pm
When I first found out that I would have to wait until June for my surgery I was more then a little bummed, but now I have a terrible chest cold and it is playing havoc with my asthma for the first time in years I am on inhalers and prednisone for it,  The doctor assured me that it will not affect my surgery (the prednisone) because it is only five days, but if I dont' get it under control then that will, my plan is to have my respiratory doctor give me a lettter of all clear before I go down for my preadmit tests, just incase they get scared.  Go figure everytime something in my life is delayed and I get bumbed there is a reason behind it.  I am allready nervous about the surgery, any time I read any complications I get scared, I read that book by Carnie wilson and alot of what she says is how I feel.  As well she said that the risks of this surgery are not much higher then having your gallbladder out.  I am having mine  open and I know that adds some risk, but it will be worth it to get a good look inside I have had so much abdominal pain over the past six years the doc promised to take a good look around. Well tonight I watched a program about anorexia and I realized we are not that different, sure I have trouble stopping the eating and they have trouble eating.  They feel guilt about eating and so do most of us. They want to be "Normal" me too.  I can not wait to feel good, no stomach aches.and a healthy weight.and feeling good like most people, have the energy to play with my kids. especially my two beautiful girls they mean the world to me.  To see them grow up into moms them selves, to be able to support my little girl and her battle with cancer.  To overcome this monster in our lives for good.  Tonight she asked me if there was really monsters under her bed. NO monsters under her bed, but in her little brain there is a monster a monster that I know someone out ther knows how to cure, but because of the mighty buck it will many years before it comes to light.  I pray that by the time my son is old enough to know what cancer is he won't be a baby himself like his sisters.  Ok off my soap box.

Kim
