I hate doctors. Last week on Tuesday
I started getting sick. I had a fever and a sore throat. I played it off as the
flu and drank water, took Advil and relaxed. As Thursday came I called my
girlfriend to come to school and pick me up and take me home for the weekend so
I could relax in my house to get better. By Friday my throat is on fire and I
can’t even swallow, I go to the doctor and as I’m getting inspected she takes
the flashlight and the little wooden tongue press and examines my throat.
"Ahh your fine, just a little inflamed and red from coughing. Go home and rest." So I do that and it only gets worse. Saturday
morning I go to the old family doctor convinced there’s something wrong with
me. This time during the inspection, "Holy crap this is one of the best
cases of step I’ve seen. I don’t even need to throat swab you." The doctor
handed me a prescription for antibiotics and I was feeling dandy by Sunday
night. Now what kind of horse shit is this? What kind of doctors do we have for
one to completely have not a clue what they are looking at, and another to know
perfectly? Does every asshole in pre-med gets their degree? Like what the fuck
is this? It’s not like she was diagnosing some rare illness only seen a few
times a year. It's frinkin STREP THROAT! I shouldn’t have to play Russian
roulette when I go to the doctor hoping I get a good one. Right? What happens
when I go for a check-up and that strange lump on my back is just “knot” and
not aggressive cancer? How will I know if I can’t even trust doctors? This is
ridiculous. If you all have a family doctor you trust stick with him/her
because I took a chance at care center and it came around to bite me.
Most of your professors are doctors. Just ask them.
ReplyDeleteYou had a doctor that missed the diagnoses so move on. This shit happens so calm down.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Doctors aren't gods. They can't automatically know what is wrong with you. many diseases have very similar symptoms, and for a doctor to be correct 100 percent of the time is unheard of.
DeleteIt's a rant blog. Stop telling people to calm down.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the ranter. I think they give everyone who goes to med school a license so they can pay back their student loans, whether the "doctor" is worth a shit or not. If you take your car to the garage and they don't fix it, you get pissed. But, if it's a "doctor", it's supposed to be okay. Surely, the "doctor" should know more about their business than Joe at the garage. I hate doctors, too.
