I never thought myself as a second class citizen. I live my life to the fullest. I am an optimistic and happy person. I have ankylosing spondylitis, luckily, it was in remission for 12 years. I remembered my rheumatologist explained to me before ankylosing spondylitis does not affect fertility. Not unless, my sacroiliitis prevents me to have sex.
Unfortunately, I received a blantant insult from my OBGYNE1 last week. She said she believe autoimmune disease is karmic in nature. She sarcasticly asked whether my clan are good guys? I laughed it off last week. I thought she was making a sarcastic joke. Today, she made the same remarks. To my disgust, I said why she feels it is karma? She replied she knows how to read karma. I cried for the whole day! I told my obgyne1 secretary that our clan work as humble trader earning a decent living in Divisoria. We are not killers, carnappers, swindlers and kidnappers. I exercised my maximum tolerance for my obgyne ya! I told the secretary that the doctor is really tactless. She should keep her karma theory to herself. Then, I cried again. I feel unjust. Even if I am a criminal , a prisoner- I have the right to medical attention. I deserve the reciprocity of respect that I have given to her. I never ask for discount in my bills.
My mom said enough crying. I have been crying all day long. My nose is red and has sores already. I said I can't help because of my genetic defect. She should help me pinpoint what is the cry-baby genes. ^.^
I begin to think of famous people with autoimmune disorder. Hmmm... So far I tried to name two only: former President Marcos and Luisa Conjuanco. Oops.... Will my obgyne make the same remarks as what she did to me? Perhaps not! I feel my doctor has no heart! If she dares to belittle me, she will not care for me. Good bye Obgyne! Grrr... I never thought that a physician utter such comment.
