I went on Jan. 27, 2011 for what I thought was going to be a a consulation at Christ Community Clinic with Dr. Laura Engbretson the GYN whom contradited herself advising I had options to remove my Fibroid but when it was said it done she only left me with either I do the Hystertomy or nothing at all. Her deamonor was either I take that or leave. She did not offer any literature for me to read, no explaintion of the pros and cons to such a major surgery. She lied advising there was no facility that would assist in the cost of doing the Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) procedure. Since doing my research on Hystertomies I have found this is a very lucatrive surgery for GYN's so instead having concern for my well being she was trying fatten her pocket book.
So after her departing the exam room the LPN entered and began to question her whom advise me that they do have someone that will perform UFE procedure which is Baptist Women hospital. Had my girlfriend not had this procedure I probably wouldnt known about it but this an example ladies be diligent about what goes on with your body and not let anyone tell you anything and not investigate.
If you have been schudule for a Hystertomy with this doctor or any other doctor please call Interventional Radiology Clinic (901-747-1007) and see if you are a candiate for the UFE procedure.
