Friday 2/3/17, I had a copper IUD placed at my obgyn office by Dr. Snyder. Yesterday 2/8/17, I was having severe abdominal pain, so I went back into the office. Dr. Snyder gave me a very painful exam with the speculum and told me the IUD is in place and my pain has nothing to do with it, so they can't treat me, but they wanted to do an ultrasound anyway. When I found out the ultrasound was internal, I refused because I was in so much pain. I went to urgent care, where I waited for two hours while in extreme pain. The doctor finally saw me and was trying to make jokes like he didn't believe my pain. He ordered a CAT scan at a local hospital, where I had to go in extreme pain. The CAT scan found a cyst on my ovary, and this was told to me by yet another doctor on the phone in a very casual manner. I told him my mom had ovarian cancer and this is a huge concern for me, also I had been in extreme pain all day and he refused to give me any kind of pain management after I demanded it. I went back to the obgyn this morning 2/9/17, was given an ultrasound, shown the cyst, then led into Dr. Snyder's office alone where she informed me that I was being rude to the staff and she would not give me any medical information or treat me until I admitted it. I did not feel like I was being rude, I was upset and crying, frightened, begging for help, but I did my best to be respectful of the staff. She refused to treat me. I need to find a new doctor, obviously, but I feel this is a pattern of disrespect and there are probably a lot of women who have tolerated this behavior in the past. I also believe it is illegal for her to refuse treatment. read more
