I hate doctors....I am so mad at all of my doctors, and the social workers...the only people I can actually stand there are the nurses....I never realized how arrogant and childish a doctor can be....I had a lot of problems happen this weekend and it was the result of a medicine that I had been taking for too long....so I relayed that info to my doctors, just so they had that info for future record, and he fucking blamed me for being on that medicine for too fuckinng long...WHAT THE FUCK...this is how the conversation went....

 

Doctor: "I suggested to you months ago that you should get off of that medicine and you REFUSED to get off of it because of what the result would be if you did"....I'm thinking, what the hell r u talking about...

Me: “I do not remember that happening at any time”  

Doctor: “well it did and you refused and you’re an adult, so it’s your decision... I guess Ill just have to be more stern with the next young lady"  

Me: "Well I don't ever recall any of this happening, and if it did, you must have been talking to me when I was drugged up because I would NEVER refuse to do something if it was best for my health, you never told me that the repercussions for taking this drug for so long would be so horrible and I am not a doctor so how would even know?"......and he kept insisting that he was right and I was wrong. and that he DID suggest to me that that is what happened...I was so fucking mad, I was holding back the tears just so that I could keep it together when I was talking to him....

 

I'm still pissed and this happened yesterday....If something is going to happen later on that will seriously hurt your patient, even if he did, you don’t fucking "suggest" anything, you say "you are not taking this drug anymore"....if your going to suggest something you better tell them all of the side effect that could possibly happen..I could have died this week and he wants to blame me?..god I'm just fucking glad I don’t have to see his face too much longer...cause I don’t think I'd be able to stand it
