I do have to wonder how much of my ‘blood pressure being high’ was just due to 1) anxiety and 2) not being able to put the fact that this doctor basically killed my friend’s sister-in-law out of my mind

#okay she didn’t KILL her kill her but she failed to notice this woman had stomach cancer for well over a year #she presented with every symptom and this doctor kept fobbing her off; cancelling appointments; losing referrals etc #until Finally she managed to get referred to a specialist and they did a scan and found out she had stage 4 stomach cancer #she died six months after that. she’d been living without treatment for a year prior to diagnosis like… they could’ve saved her #this doctor specifically could’ve saved her #why did i see this doctor you ask? well there’s four doctors at my regular practice. two of them are male. i don’t fuck with male doctors #nothing against them but discussing my personal intimate problems with a man i don’t know and no chaperone is just not for me #i also had a male doctor repeatedly make weird comments about my body when i was a teenager so there is that #my dentist is a man though and we like him. one boy allowed #Anyway so there’s the two male doctors and then there’s this woman who basically killed my friend’s family member #and then there’s the other woman doctor but she is on leave at the moment and only taking phone appointments. she wouldn’t be back until #after my microgynon prescription ran out and she can’t take my blood pressure over the phone. so i was like. would i rather be examined #by a man or someone who is an idiot at best and negligent at worse. or take my chances with freeballing this shit (my period)#so there i am sitting in this woman’s office seething and no surprise; the best figure she could get from me was 121 over 95 #bear in mind i’m usually sitting at 100 over 80. so.#she did take my blood pressure 5 times but the last time i saw she got an upper figure of 103 and she didn’t write the lower figure???#so i’m wondering if the meditation i was trying to do actually Did take my blood pressure down and she just didn’t want to accept it lol #should i buy a blood pressure monitor? i mean.. literally no because that’s an unnecessary expense and i’ve placed a moratorium #on unnecessary shopping in order to justify/afford a fucking TREADMILL #but seriously. i’m starting to wonder if i actually have hypertension or if i was just pissed at this woman. or if she’s just incompetent #i swear i’m not just mad because this is my second day of a reduced salt diet and i’m not enjoying it lol #i’m sticking to her orders i’m just….. i don’t know if it was bullshit or not. i mean how do i trust someone who watched a woman waste away #to skin and bone and continually fumbled referral paperwork and just overall failed to see that Something Was Very Wrong #i’m following her advice out of malicious compliance and because i don’t think it can hurt me but still. Still #personal
