Wow, I count myself lucky that even though I've never had a doctor who was actually vegetarian or vegan, they've all been totally respectful...and reasonable well-informed about nutrition.
Not poor soychick, who tells her story of the doctor from hell in this post. So, her doctor did what mine recently did...ran more tests that she had run before, because i mentioned I was vegan. Yup, they gotta test out that iron and B vitamins etc. etc., just to make sure they can rub your face in it if your results come back deficient.
And, as you may know, mine did come back deficient in one area: Vitamin D. Now, my doctor made sure to tell me that half her patients have that, not just veg*n ones. So, I didn't come away with a single lecture.
Poor soychick's doctor finishes telling her that everything looks normal...and then tells her she should eat a steak. For reals.
You have to read the whole story, sounds totally infuriating. You can bet I'd get a new doctor. Pronto.
has that happened to you?
Yes, I noticed soychick because she wrote about my Silicon Veggie column. But she's also a prolific vegan bloggers, even posting many recipes.
You can subscribe separately to her blog psots and her recipes, and I subscribed to both feeds.
Enjoy.
