super funny how you can beg & beg & beg & beg & plead & beg with a doctor for help with a debilitating illness & they're like "here's a prescription for a cream that will help" & you go to the pharmacy to get it & they're like "ooh sorry, this one costs $500. but the brand name version is $600 so really it's a deal!" & so you have to pay for it with the $501 in your bank account & then you get home & put it on & the next day your skin is on fire despite washing the cream off asap & you go back to the doctor & they're like. "huh. weird. idk then man maybe go see a specialist?" & send you on your way & you go home with this stupid worse than useless $500 cream & a few months later you finally get to go see the specialist & they glance at you & say "idk man maybe just stop being dramatic?? lol" & so you go home (again) after being berated & you're sitting there & go fuck it & look it up & you see some random guy like "oh yeah witch hazel works" & so you put witch hazel on & within ten minutes it does, in fact, work. *through gritted teeth* doctors are so fun

#based on a true story #i put that stupid cream on & immediately i'm on fire & like bleeding & shit. can't get a refund can't sell it can't fucking nothing #i put witch hazel on? nearly immediate relief. swelling goes down pain disappears no more weeping no more bleeding #plus the whole bottle costs way less has a ton more inside & lasts way longer. what the fuck #imagine having open wounds all over your hands & every doctor you try to talk about it with grimaces at you like you're a sewer rat #i work with my hands dude. i can't even use most soaps & DEFINITELY can't use hand sanitizer cuz it makes it worse #why the fuck is random internet advice better than the actual doctors who (presumably) went to medical school #why is this a normalized thing even #Dr. House save me.......................................................#he would've figured it out after blasting me with radiation & probably causing a bunch of other issues #but the key phrase here is he would have figured it out #fucked that i'd rather Dr. Malpractice treat me simply because despite the malpractice he would. at least. TRY to get a correct diagnosis #instead of just saying ''idk. go away'' & then running off #doctors legit view appointments as unnecessary social interactions instead of THEIR JOB
