Ronda, first of all I am very sorry for your bad expriences. I am a patient of Dr. Long's. You are the first one I have heard say anything negative about him, so I am a little nervous-my surgery is on Monday(dec. 2nd) with him. I noticed you have not posted anything in months, I was wondering how things went with him later and how you are doing now. I am a nurse and I have asked many other doctors and nurses about him and so far no-one has had any negative comments. I know it is no excuse to be rude but some surgeons just have no "people-skills". I hope that things for you are better, I'm anxious to hear from you.

Dear Ronda...You can change doctors for after surgery care. I've known other people who were unhappy with the after surgery care and changed to my doctor. Find one that knows how to behave in a professional manner then politely tell your old doc he is fired. If he asks why, tell him, hon! lol Don't be afraid of the silly old fart. What can he possibly do to you? Nothing! :):):)

Ronda....call your PCP for the incision thing. Do NOT ignore your instincts that something is wrong. Your surgeon was PAID for his services so he should be treating you - however, if he won't, call another one. Does he have a partner? If not, pick up the phone book, call a friend, do whatever you have to to get the care you deserve! Stick up for yourself!! Get mad! Your surgeon is being a pri**!! I am a nurse - I know how they can get. Tell him you have concerns about your health and want action. "The squeaky wheel gets the grease." Start "squeaking." God Bless you. SASRN :)
