Some nurses SUCK (no Dear, not you).......

Yesterday while I was at radiation the tech asked how I was doing. I mentioned my discomfort when swallowing. She suggested that I see the Doc after my treatment. I was agreeable with that, I wanted some relief.
After my treatment I was directed to the desk at the end of the hallway to see the Doc.
I was met by a nurse who seemed to know a great deal about my difficulty and proceeded to tell me all the things that I should and should not do. What I should and should not eat, and on and on and on. When she finished she asked, "Do you still want to see the Doctor? He will just tell you the same things that I just did."
This is not exactly what I had been told to expect by my radiation oncologist. He had assured me that he could keep me "comfortable" during this radiation treatment.
Guess I misjudged him and the practice. Sometimes you just have to ask yourself if you have made wise choices and this one of those times when I am beginning to have my doubts about the practice I chose to have my radiation treatment.
