So, lately my endo has been acting up and on Thursday it got so bad that i actually passed out from the pain...woke up to paramedics dealing with me.  (my poor husband didn't know what to do)  So I spent most of my weekend in hospital.  My gyn came to see me and basically discharged me after I refused to do some birth control treatment that MIGHT work!  I told him i have tried enough and asked if he could just do the d&c and be done with everything.  well, he snarled something at me and went to discharge me.  I was not impressed because i was depending on the demerall to pull me through. 
Anyways, a lady from our church came to visit me.  She works as a teacher at UBC (a university in vancouver)  and also places many doctors at the BC Women's Centre in the BC women's hospital.  So she knows several people there that would be willing to take me in.  So she gave me list of names to take to the doc and so he can refer me to one of these people.  I have canceled my surgery for October 30th as well as said goodbye to my original gyn.  I do not need such treatment from a doc who is supposed to care for me. I'm hoping that i get in real soon there, but a wait is expected.....I'll update you ladies on how this all works out for me.
Goodbye for now!
Clara

sorry to hear that things got that bad.
 
And how awful the way the gyn was with u.
 
I've had a D&C and it does nothing! So wot he thinks it will achieve I have no idea.
 
Do u have some kind of place/person u can complain to about his behaviour? It's not acceptable.
 
Here in the UK, we have a company called PALS that we can bring complaints to if we want/need. Though I should've, I haven't! Too much of a wimp me!
 
I hope all goes well with a referral and that you get someone decent who wants to look after you properly!
 
Please take care and rest up when you can!
 
Love n hugs
 
Lulu

Yes, I have heard about Catharine Allaire as well....not sure...maybe I'll end up with her.  I did go to the doc now and he is sending out a referral so now it is just a waiting game.  Hopefully I can get in soon!
Today I was taking Tylenol #3 instead of Morphine, so that is a sign of pain goin down at least a little bit!
