Thank you, everyone, for letting me vent..I appreciate all the great advise and understanding:)
Diana-I've always been unable to make a quick comeback..,have to stew over things a bit.
Abc-good point, how something is delivered can make all the difference...I'm not angry or anything-just felt it was rude...
Irene...she's probably 10 years older
SW Ann-I'm not quick on the uptake either, first it has to sink in and eat at me a little but "exactly what do you mean" would have been a good thing to say...I think then she would have realized it might not have been the most appropriate thing to say. Thank you!
Torontogirl...thank you for understanding...everyone's comments are totally right on...just needed to vent with my fab friends!
Celia-I guess I would have thought a female doctor would be more sensitive!
