I need to stop watching medical dramas. It hurts to see doctors trying everything they can to figure out someone's symptoms when that really doesn't happen in the real world.
#like. shoutout to my primary who has actually done research into treatments for me#but hes a PA with limited time and resources (we are in a fairly rural area and my clinic serves a ton of people)#so like. referals go nowhere and my symptoms are still mostly unexplained#especially when like. doctors dont expect to fix you?#idk when i saw my neurologist for the first time i tried to give him an overview of all my symptoms and he said#verbatim#'well you cant expect me to fix all that'#and i was. idk. shocked#i wasnt even trying to get him to 'fix' me i was just trying to give some context and history#yknow. the thing necessary to diagnose people#but instead he misdiagnosed me and put me on meds that didnt work and suggested experimental brain surgery for a disorder i dont have#same thing happened with my pulmonologist. i explained my symptoms (because HE ASKED ME TO) and then refused to take them into account#its not every doctor. but its every specialist ive seen. every single one#and its frustrating#like. i just dont have answers or adequate treatment or anything#and my health keeps getting worse#idk man#disability sucks
