BEWARE!
I'm
sure
there
are
hundreds
of
women
who
have
had
positive
experiences
with
Dr.
Peterson,
as
he
came
recommended
by
almost
everyone
I
asked.
I
honestly
don't
know
why!
He
was
aloof
and
seemed
uncaring
at
almost
every
visit,
but
he
was
"the
best
on
the
island,"
so
I
went
with
him
As
my
OB.
About
2
months
before
my
due
date,
I
developed
a
hard
spot
in
my
breast.
I
told
Dr.
Peterson
about
it
and
his
reply
was
"It's
your
milk
coming
in."
He
didn't
look
at
the
lump
or
even
touch
it!
As
a
first
time
mom,
I
figured
the
"best
doctor"
knew
what
he
was
talking
about.
At
each
consequent
visit
for
2
months,
I
mentioned
it
to
the
doctor
and
nurse,
and
always
got
the
same
response.
A
few
weeks
before
giving
birth,
I
awoke
with
a
terrible
pain
in
my
side.
After
a
visit
from
EMS,
I
decided
to
forego
the
ER
(pain
had
subsided)
and
call
Dr.
Peterson
the
next
day.
I
was
told
it
was
the
positioning
of
the
baby.
Fast
forward...
I
gave
birth,
but
still
had
the
lump
in
my
breast
and
pain
in
my
side.
For
2
days,
the
pain
continued
until
at
the
urging
of
the
neonatal
nurse,
an
ultrasound
was
ordered.
After
a
battery
of
scans,
it
was
discovered
that
the
lump
in
my
breast
was
breast
cancer
that
had
metastasized
to
my
liver,
spine,
and
hip.
The
only
thing
I
can
remember
Dr.
Peterson
(who
became
very
caring
at
that
point)
saying
was
"Pregnant
women
don't
get
cancer."
over
and
over.
Well
obviously
they
do,
and
after
doing
research,
I
read
1
in
3000
are
diagnosed.
It
would've
taken
a
few
minutes,
if
not
seconds,
to
check
the
lump.
I
don't
know
what
would
have
been
done
differently
and
how
it
would
have
affected
my
pregnancy,
but
I
do
think
that
had
Dr.
Peterson
showed
even
a
little
bit
of
concern,
the
cancer
could
have
been
found
earlier
and
perhaps
not
have
spread.
Over
a
year
later,
I
am
still
undergoing
treatment
for
the
cancer
that
has
now
spread
to
my
brain.
I
realize
mine
is
a
special
case
that
most
women
will
not
experience,
but
if
you
are
looking
for
a
doctor
who
will
listen
to
and
respond
to
your
concerns,
seek
another
doctor!
