I had a funny experience with a non-cf doctor too. My insurance requires me to have a Primary care Doctor.....I call this Doctor my referal doctor. Anyway about 13 yrs ago I had to see this doctor to update my charts with them. Right off the bat he asks me how long I'd had CF, hummm since the minute my parent fooled around? Then he asked me if I had problems with constipation, Where in the world did that question come from?, No I don't, I told him. Then he wanted to change the meds my CF doctor had me on, I said I didn't think that was a good idea. Then he listened to me and spent a long time in the breast area. I had a port at this time on my rib cage and the line ran under my left breast and over my collar bone, well he kept asking if I could feel it under my boob, No I said. He was a little obsessed about it. Before my appointment was over he wrote a script for a suppository for constipation. I told him I didn't need it, but he insisted I go to the pharmacy next to his office and fill it. So a little embarrased I went over and handed the thing to the pharmacist. So I am looking around the store while I wait when a few minutes later over the intercom I hear "Andrea Kersting your suppository script is ready!" Honest to pete! My face was red but I picked it up and drove home, where I promptly dropped the bag into the trash.
Sadly this Doctor died a several years ago, probably trying to give himself a suppository....now I go to a different Doctor who admitts he knows very little about CF and happily gets me referals whenever I need them.
