And she wasn't even here for treatment or anything, the only reason I went to see her (could have been anyone in the clinic too) was to decide if I could do that thing I was called to or not.
Glad you got through the appointment, got your paper, and got home.
thanks comrade, now I get to do it again next time they call me for this lol. They're going to refer my case to their own doctor who may or may not need to evaluate me, and then after that they should accept my own doctors certificates.
It took the medical establishment three and a half years to diagnose my cancer. Because they refused to do any tests because I was "too young for it to be anything serious." That whole time I was getting sicker and sicker and being accused of being a hypochondriac. Doctors are idiots.
I am so thankful to the doctor I went to see when I got my PE that he took it seriously from the getgo and ordered a CT scan. The blood test showed elevated D-dimer and even he explained that it could mean clotting but not necessarily, and that I was too young to get a PE (edit: he said something like this is usually something older people get), but he still ordered the CT scan just in case. How many people die every year because doctors don't want to investigate? Dealing with them you really start to understand they're not special people, most of them are bureaucrats who are scared of being investigated.
After all my experiences, there is no profession I have less respect for than the medical profession. They didn't warn me that my cancer treatment could cause a stroke. They knew, but did not tell me so I could make an informed decision. I had two choices and I might have picked the other choice if I'd known. Then when I did have a stroke, I was left sitting in the hospital all day waiting for treatment, literally in the middle of a stroke, my period started during this and I repeatedly begged for painkillers and a pad, and was told someone would bring them but they never did. So I sat there all day, having a stroke, drenched in my own blood, with a period pain. This is just the tip of the iceberg of all the crap I've had to deal with from the medical "profession".
I recently got seriously ill with multiple symptoms, but nobody wanted to take a look. 2min 'counseling' is the best you get if you're younger than 50, regardless of symptoms. Instantly got prescribed placebo medication and antibiotics that didn't help. After staying home for 3 months, getting back into routine was actually scary. Glad I kinda saved for such cases. But hey, don't even dare to bring up your own research, since the 'experts' might get hurt they have to do something.
Yep. I eventually got 2 sessions with a psychiatrist and some antidepressants. It must be depression right? Young people can't have anything else. I was being scolded and called a lazy hypochondriac, all the while I was slowly dying of cancer. If thyroid cancer wasn't so slow-growing, I'd be dead now.
now I'm hungry and it's not even close to lunch time 😩
