Went to the new referral yesterday at the Riverside Outpatient Hospital here in Ottawa to see a "Dr. Martin Friedlich".
What a nightmare that was!!. The rectal exam was incomplete and extremely painful. Today am still suffering from that episode! "Bend over the table, drop your pants and kiss your ass good-bye!" with head on floor, blood rushing to my head. I am a very tall male and the exam was incomplete, he was very, very rough with me as I was too sore and too tense for a complete exam. Afterwards wouldn't answer any of my questions and 'Vanished" like the last surgeon did and was told to go home and another appointment would be set up, who knows when? and yes as to reviews I have read about 'Him", he does have a "GOD COMPLEX". Some people say he is good some say he is hellish! I wonder if I need to be "put under for the next examination" as it is too much?
He mentioned from what he could see that I no have a "Fistuila and an anal wart", he could not see the fissure as he was not able to complete the examination at this time. Told me to "double up on the Metamucil twice a day and to rubberglove the Nifidipine / Lidociane on the outside of the anus, not the inside as stated from the previous Surgeon Dr. Barron, I used a q-tip and inserted the cream. Two different surgeons in Ottawa with two different opionions about everything, very frustrating, not getting anywhere...should I look for a third??? the pain and burning continues daily with no results.
Very very frustrating!!!
Thanks
