Brutal doctor. Had a cyst aspirated yesterday, which was so painful and brutal the way it was done. I had the same procedure done by another doctor the year before and felt nothing. No bedside manners whatsoever. Asked for a pathology report for my gynecologist because she was surprised that she did it without ultrasound (last ultrasound was last year). How did she know it was not cancerous? Was told by her receptionist that she has been doing it for a long time and knows what she saw.
