I understand how you feel. My calendar is filled with appointments. Follow up’s, consultations, evaluation, radiology etc, etc…It is at the forefront of my life too. I don’t know what exactly happened that made it like this. Health issues present and they can consume especially when you need to focus on them when seeing the doctors. I have to come to accept that this is what I must do to live a longer life. Being there is no cure, managing symptoms and work to that end is what the option is. I hope you feel better. Sometimes they need to learn to have a heart and a bedside manner. These days it is more and more a business.

I had to journal about this to figure out why I had a meltdown about recent doctoring experience. I think it hits a nerve bringing back many others. My health kind of hit a wall starting in the fall of 2020. Third heart attack, CABGx3. May of this year surgery to remove hardware in my spine due to osteomyelitis. It’s taken 7 months for wound to heal. Now testing for stomach issues. Guess this is aging and my journey. Does it take any more time for any medical person to treat the patient with some respect and empathy? That in itself can ease stress with whatever the patient is dealing with.
