Cervical cancer????????/?
My dear, the best thing you should do is get a second medical essment from another Gynecologist. That's your right as a patient. A PAP smear done under the cirstances you described is totally unreliable. Anytime a physician acts unconcerned about your health, you'll probably end up getting substandard medical care. On October 2007, my gynecologist diagnosed a large growth in my vulva as Venereal Warts. As an OB/GYN Nurse, I've seen plenty of cases of women with this condition and mine didn't resemble them because it was a single large lesion [venereal warts are small, stalked, cauliflower-like and grow in clusters]. I asked that he excise the lesion and send it to be biopsied, but he refused and prescribed Aldara cream, which is a treatment for venereal warts. Instead of improving my condition, this medication made it worse. I went back to him after a month, explained that the lesion was looking worse and that I highly suspected it was malignant. I asked to be reexamined but he refused to do so and told me to keep using the cream. So I went to an Oncologist Gynecologist, who immediately excised the lesion and sent it for biopsy. It came back positive for non-invasive Vulvar Carcinoma. I went back to the gynecologist who had misdiagnosed me with venereal warts to show him the results. He tried to argue that he'd never seen a case of Vulvar Carcinoma; I asked for a copy of my medical record then and there {yes, many doctors DO fix medical records to cover up mistakes}, and secured legal counsel. A Medical Malpractice lawsuit is under way because of his error in judgment. Feel free to contact me using the link in my profile if you have further questions or concerns.
