Continued side effects

I managed to get an appointment to see my dermatologist last Friday afternoon. That was great news. However, I ended up sitting in the waiting room for an hour before he saw me...not so great. When I finally got to see the receptionist, she kindly looked into it for me. I could hear her conversation from the waiting room, but particularly noticed his response "Oops".

I was seeing red at this stage. This is exactly what happened to me last time I was there 2 years ago. But luckily, last time I ended up seeing another doctor, Dr. Chang. And he was superb!

Dr. Chua saw me after his next patient. The consulation went as normal. He prescribed me an antibiotic and a gel for my post-adolescent acne invasion. I paid on my way out. My blood pressure returns to normal.

Sunday. I go to take in my prescription where the chemist tells me the gel he prescribed me will cause fetal defects. Fetal defects! I could not believe the incompetency of that man! I told him I went off the pill! Thankfully, the Chemist kindly offered to sort it out with the doctor for me. Blood pressure receding...

Monday. I get a phone call from the chemist. He tells me that Dr. Chua told me about the side effects. Really? As a woman trying to conceive, I think I would remember if he mentioned something about fetal side effects. If he had said something, I think I would have had something to say about that.

Grr!! He's so incompetent!! And I have to see him again in December...shudder. Why? Why! Why! He is the fly in my ointment!!!...or fetal killing gel as the case may be.
