great grandma @cherylfromknoxvillet I have also been in situations that I felt out of control due to the constant calls and with one in particular I was supposed to have a consultation and I made it clear and did not sign consent and they did a procedure I knew nothing about while the did a pelvic exam. So now I'm glad it is not just me. Thank you for making it clear!!!

So, no, it is not just you who has been mistreated by OB-GYNs. It happens all the time.

An OB-GYN in my city of Knoxville, Tennessee, whom I saw for a consultation in regard to postmenopausal bleeding, told me that he wanted to do an endometrial biopsy, a transvaginal ultrasound, and saline-infused sonohysterogram (SIS), all during one appointment. Knowing that the College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has issued a practice bulletin saying that an endometrial biopsy is no longer the standard of care, I refused it. However, one of his nurses told me that he planned to do it anyway during the appointment for the transvaginal ultrasound and SIS. What a weasel. I cancelled all future appointments with him and found another OB-GYN, one who is world renowned. To see him, I had to travel from my home in Knoxville, Tennessee, to New York City, but he was well worth the inconvenience and financial expense. And as it turned out, I didn't need SIS after all, just a transvaginal ultrasound, and the OB-GYN in New York City does not recommend an endometrial biopsy, either.
