[QUOTE="the_anticarb, post: 311845, member: 16982"] Well I saw Mr. C today and he was in a right grump because I'd been to see another consultant. Basically threw his toys out of the pram, accusing me of being ungrateful for what he'd done etc and how difficult the op was. Yes but I knew that already, this was never about the tear itself, just the fact that he never told me about the tear. Anyway his ego obviously can't take any sort of challenge, or the fact that I saw someone else (which was because he was fence sitting on the pregancy issue) so he's not the consultant for me long term. We smoothed things out towards the end (after a lot of me reassuring him that I wasn't ungrateful, I did understand what a difficult job it was etc) but agreed I wouldn't see him for consultations again in future. To be honest I expected a bit more professionalism from him, if he's going to get all emotional if I get a second opinion or challenge him then he's probably not the consultant for me. Its not asthough these guys don't charge enough for what they do. Its upsetting enough dealing with retinopathy without having to deal with doctors egos too! Anyway I can't really afford to see him anymore, so it's back to the NHS with Mr. L if I need private consultations I guess. [/QUOTE]
