Frustrated and hating all doctors

[Guest guest]

I hate doctors, all of them. They seriously are

useless. As if it's not annoying enough that Dr.

Mederois (my hematologist) never really figured out

why my blood is doing what it's doing and just kind of

was like eh whatever it's not lymphoma and you're not

bleeding from your intestines it must just be your

period is too heavy (its not), and you're tired

because you have an autoimmune disease. I go to my

immunologist today who decides that I should go back

on treatment but she needs me to go see GI first she

blew off the anemia back in june now I'm back and she

is saying well I couldn't treat you then because of

the anemia and I'm not treating you now either because

your still anemic and your liver enzymes are elevated,

go see GI and come back in six weeks. She said its

obvious something is going on but she has no clue

(does anyone have a clue, didn't they go to medical

school for this reason!!!). I go to make an

appointment in six weeks and of course her schedule

isn't open till January. I tell the lady listen this

is rediculous I was supposed to be back in here in

July but you guys couldn't get me an appointment till

now. I am not waiting that long to come back in here,

I want this taken care of now, she'll call me back..

Yeah sure she will. In the meantime I have an

appointment with GI on the 5th of November. These

doctors are making me angry. I'm twenty two, I have

been doing this since seven, it's not fair anymore.

Someone figure it out, someone treat me, because this

is absolutely rediculous. I am so frustrated, I left

that appointment even more upset then when I got

there, I basically just cried the whole way home. I'm

so tired of all of this. I just want to be normal, i

want to enjoy my last year of college, I want to be

able to go out with my boyfriend and have fun, I

shouldn't be this tired, or sore, or stiff, or

swollen. It's absolutely absurd. I feel so frustrated

and there is nothing I can do about.. and that just

makes me feel even more hopeless.
