Rant about my Surgeon

I had not heard from my surgeon on the results of my CT scan that he had ordered last week. This wasn't a problem for me because I saw my radiation oncologist on Monday and he said everything looked great and seemed to be healing well. He also complimented me on my decision to avoid surgery.
I logged into email today and had a letter from my surgeon on the results. He is such a "glass half empty" kind of guy. He paints everything in the worst light. I dread talking to this guy about any results. I always feel like crying after I talk with him. I am probably being overly sensitive as today has not been the best day. I did a little too much the last few days and am now paying the price. This guy needs to get some training on how to deliver information in a more positive light.....OK I am done now. I am going to take an Percoset and not think about him.

You sound like me. I am not sure if thats a good thing. Everything will be ok, doctors have to do that sometimes because some people (who aren't as intelligent as say, YOU) may take optimism a little too seriously and so if anything ever goes wrong they go all litigation crazed and sue. He obviously doesn't know you as well as the other guy:) Talk to you soon..
