[Viva] How I wept

[Tolu Vaughn]

Uuum thanks Shelly et al for d pearls of wizzzdom!  

I guess all in all, the important thing is whatever we experience it must feel right, and we must be able to express and articulate ourselves when we feel something is out of place.

Love you all for being just there.  THANX
 
You are in my thoughts today.... thanks  for  being  there, away... I hope real soon we get to share that cherished  smile, that bubbly laugh, those heart felt moments, that have made our friendship what it is! Stay Blessed.
Diva

But let's not the fact that we have been "spoiled" accept anything but good treatment.
I am already concerned about being pushed into things that don't feel right to me,
whereas that was never the case with Dr. B, and nor should it be. But now I do have 
a whole group of women for support who are also confronted with the same thing. May
I remember to speak out when things aren't right - that is the only way changes in the
way we are treated will happen. The old squeaky wheel... Yet maybe change is good too...

>>I had an appt at Oak Tree last week as well.  I was expecting to see Dr Pick (for just the 2nd time ever) however I was very upset to hear she wasn’t there and I would be seeing a brand new doctor.  Needless to say, at the best of times it is challenge to change HIV specialists and when you throw other health complications and peri-menopause into the mix, I must admit I was also weeping!   BUT the silver lining for me was that I ended up really liking the doctor I saw, Jane Cunningham!  She was very caring and competent and has applied for a permanent position at Oak Tree so I am crossing my fingers!  
>>So I tell myself (and others) Hang in there... transitions are tough but we’ll get through it!  
>>Be well, Kath

>>Last Wednesday I went for my routine quarterly appointment at Oaktree... and oh how I wep,t and still weep, for Dr B.
>>I wont bore you with the details, but what came to light, that is now missing, is the unwavering confidence in which garrisoned the clinic, the deep deep understanding of womens issues relation to HIV, beyond what each and everyone of us can ever fathom. The willingness to stand rock solid behind any one of us when it comes to an informed medical opinion, whilst guaranteeing all aspects of our privacy and confidentiality, again even in ways we could ever ask or imagine.  Much as I love the concept and uniqueness of the Oaktree, I actually considered what were my other options!

>>Anyway all said and done the other doctor who has so experience at the clinic is on vacation.... hence it was all newbies on the block.

>>I breath deeply and hope and pray this was just a passing phase and not the new trend.
