ENT PA straight up lectured me about taking sudafed for 2 weeks straight. Heavily implied all my problems might go away if I stop it. I thought ok, wow, I've been dealing with this for 4 weeks and Sudafed is the only thing that's made a dent but if it's that bad sure I'll stop.

I told my mom that and she said that's ridiculous, but she's not a doctor so whatever. Then I got a text when my dad (who is a doctor) got home from work

I love how we come together as a family to gang up on a medical professional who says something dumb. And I love the address by name, comma, new paragraph structure in a text.

One time I went to a vet visit with a stack of scientific studies I printed out to make a case for a request my cat's treatment. It was effective. I'm not that passionate about sudafed, because it's not solving the problem even if it is helping and I really just want it solved (ct scan is scheduled). However I am kind of annoyed that she made me feel bad about taking medication that was helping so I am tempted to do a deep dive in the literature and plead a case.

#I'm not a doctor but if I gained anything from my time in the research side of biology it's how to look for and read studies #it's incredibly time consuming though so I'd rather not #really though I'm just worried the ct scan will show nothing #every doctor and pa until now has thought it was my sinuses though so if they're fine then I don't know what to do #dad did not like this PA one bit though he thought it was VERY telling that she looked in my nose with a camera #but she didn't palpate my face #He kept repeating that 'camera but no sinus palpation...wow...'#like that was deranged behavior #he wasn't talking to another doctor though so I was not in on the joke #kids these days and their nasal cameras tsk tsk
