ok, so I generally see a lady dr, but at that office there r total 5 drs, 1 is male.
last time i was pregnant, i miscarried, well there was no heart beats, so they scheduled me for d & c procedure after the weekend, but on saturday night i was bleeding and cramping a lot, i took the codeine dr had prescribed me, but still it wasn't working, so i called dr on call, which was this male dr, i was explaining him everything, (i m from another country living in usa, so i speak with an accent, ) , he immediately told me to go to er without even listening the whole story, i just wanted to ask him how long does a medication take to work? instead of telling me to wait 10-20 min for medication to work, he just sent me er, and i ended up with thousands of dollars bills. today agian for my 2nd pregbec, i m scheduled to go to him, there is no other dr available, i m really angry that i have to see him, any idea how can i handle him?

you have alot of residual anger over the loss of the baby ,and unfortunatly he is where you have focused your anger. Going to the ER was right to do, if you were bleeding and cramping the dr has no way, short of an exam, to know what was going on. You could have been hemmoraging, you could have gotten an infection. Yes, spending $1000's on medical bills sucks, but you will never know what you may have avoided by folowing his advice. Be thankful that you have another chance at having a baby, and see the dr.

Take into consideration that when he told you to go to the ER that he wasn't there and everyones perception of bleeding a little or alot and cramping is different. The safest thing was for you to go to the ER because you never know what kind of complications you may have. For my first miscarraige it took 6 hours of just a little cramping then I lost alot of blood since I was not at the hospital already. When you go see him realize he may not even remember depending on how long ago it was and how many people he sees. And if you still cant stand him have them put it in your fil that you dont want to see him and wait for someone else.

I think it was wise for the doctor to send you to er. What if something happened to you, how would it look on the doctor? As for dealing with this "doctor" I suggest you go to another one. No one is forcing you. There are plenty of gynos around. Ask your friends if they have any doctors they go to. Chances are you may find a doctor that you like.
