Bad Experience

So I went to get my 2nd fill today and just walked into a very small room and the Doctor and a student, plus PCA were all standing there. They asked if it was ok to have the student and I said sure. Well they were all just standing there watching me instead of leaving so I could disrobe. It was really uncomfortable and awkward. Then after a moment two of them left. I disrobed and the PCA said it looks red so she called the Doctor and student back in and they want me to take antibiotics for a week. When I was sitting in the chair and the Doctor was looking at me it looked like he gagged. It was noticeable to me. I felt really self-conscious and cried on the way home. I was thinking maybe it was somethjng he ate but it happened when he was looking at my breast trying to determine if t was infected. It was a definite gag reflex that I could see even with his mask. He is really nice but I am not feeling like my concerns for the hardening of my right breast are being addressed and now the infection. The pca is really nice so that helped. I guess this is more of vent than anything. I don't even know if I have capsular contracture although I brought it up several times at each visit. My right breast is stone hard and pretty high up in my chest. The TE has been in a year

Weird that they had you undress with them there. I guess you have to self advocate and tell them to leave!! Not that you should have to do that...

I can't imagine a doc would gag from the sight of your breasts, it had to have been something unrelated.

The infection and hardening should definitely be addressed! If you don't like your team, can you go elsewhere for a second opinion?

Thanks OnTarget. I am on antibiotics two days now and it still looks really red. Getting a bit nervous and hoping the antibiotic I am taking is going to work. Taking a day at a time. My exchange surgery Ian still a few months out
