Descripe the one time your where most dissapointed in your dr.
Drs are humans , of a sort !!LOL, they make lapses in judgements and sometimes can it be are they sometimes even WRONG?
It took me three years to get my neck diagnosed, went many places was handed many pills, last dr finally listened really listened got me an mRI and sent me to surgeon Id of been papalysised in a year or two.
the one time that made me the madest was the dr that when I described my hands going numb tole me it was impossible, handed me a script for heavy pain meds and sent me on my way. Im like I am not lying. He says we hear so many things in here youd be amazed,.
Just wondering if anyone else has similar stories,,,and friends above all else you know your own body NEVER give up do not take no for an answer. do not accept the bandaid of pills yup they help in the meantime but are not the soultion, Had I countiuned to mask my problems I coulda been dead, Pain is a symptom always listen to it...
ANYHOWS,.,,Im gonna be on here a lot so bring on the bad drs stories,,,

what a shame, when Im a PCT I will always assume my patients are telling the truth, even an addict could come in with real symptoms of a different aliment . ughhhh
I had a hysterectomy several years ago, went to the family doc to get hormones or something to increase the sex drive. So I was sent for a mammogram to one doctor then to a gyno for a pelvic (uh? nothing in there folks?), then to a shrink to talk about my sexual issues, and told to come back in a month and we would talk about it. It was all I could muster for the one doctor payment to the family physician much less the others, so I said to h#ll with it. Just a money game to me. Whatever happened to the family doctor handling it?
WOW! You guys have some really bad stories!! SS the drs never listen!! Mine aren't that severe but my first dr i got in my hometown seemed nice until parts of my pap came bk bad he then insisted on getting my boyfriends (now DH) name for a script as well as me and he then very rudely told me he could only treat us and not the other girl my BF was cheating on me with!! Needless to say i wont go to him or any other Indian dr in my town (no pun intended)
my new dr not as bad but not so smart either! It's a decent size clinic so i went upstairs to the GYN dr for a rash down yonder i thought it was down there i needed a gyn they looked at me saw my Eczema on my legs and insisted i had down there too so i got sent downstairs to the family dr they could not even figure it out and embarrasing enough i had to show like 10 people my crotch!! they gave me some stupid cream that didnt work and i had 2 go bk yet again a week later cus i was hurting so much FINALLY after all this i get told I have Candia some yeast infection stuff and have to get an anti biotic for it!! And all the while GYN could have diagnosed a simple yeast infection!! and the best part the price for these visits is high enough i cant go bk anymore which bites cus i wanted my fertility testing done and now its out the window again!!

Very long story short .. my daughter's allergist insisted my daughter had scabies and that I was in denial in that it affects all social classes. OK .. I disagreed and told him he was wrong and I refused to use a pesticide wash on a highly allergic 8yr old girl and went straight to my dermatologist who took one look and laughed that "those who don't know shouldn't profess to know in areas outside their domain". And that was 8 yrs ago and it was not scabies .. it was an allergic dermatitis of some sort that wasn't common .. can you believe it ?
Yep. Trusting one's instincts is so vital.
He said he'd do a skin culture if it didn't clear up in 48hrs and it was gone by then!

Oh, I had a nightmare of a time about 1 1/2 yrs ago! I went to the ER 5 or 6 times in 1 month because I was very short of breath. I mean...BAD. I couldn't walk across the room w/out huffing and puffing and I was getting no sleep. I was too scared to sleep because I didn't think I would wake up. That's how bad it was.
Anyway, all the docs did for me was take x-rays and said no pneumonia and sent me on my merry way. They told me it was stress and tried to give me atavan or valiums. I freaking knew that it wasn't that. They didn't believe me. After all of that, I went to the lung doctor and she did a lung function test on me and looked at my x-rays. BOTH showed normal. SOOOO, she didn't believe me either. At that point, I was totally in tears. I'm not the crying type either. But, I thought, at least the lung doctor would take me seriously. After doing some research online, I saw that pulmonary embolisms could cause my shortness of breath. I knew that I needed a CT with contrast to diagnose it. I called her and demanded that she order it. She did and low and freaking behold......I was positive for pulmonary embolisms and had to be admitted to the hospital.
Does that suk or what? I could've dropped dead from that! AND, I was thinking about a law suit!!! I have absolutely no faith in doctors anymore.
