Do You Get the Impression You Are Not Believed by Others…

Posted by SusanEllen66 @SusanEllen66, Apr 16 12:09am

When you tell your “story” do you feel like others think you are lying?
For example, you go to a new doctor, give them your long list of medical situations and you get the feeling you are not believed.

Or you tell someone a true, but unusual experience you have had. You get that side glance, squinting eyes look…you can tell they doubt your story.

It happens to me, what about you?

What a Great topic ! With so many electronics , greedy businesses doctors don’t have time to set down and look thru our charts like they used to! We’re now a number not a patient . Having a failed back surgery and seeing 7 doctors since and NO ONE willing to do anything except a stimulator which I had turned on 2 weeks ago and still can’t feel it where I need it because of my spine incision is swelled and numb. I’m losing faith in the Neurosurgeons I can no longer walk without 2 canes, Walker or use a scooter . I had to set and wait 35 minutes at Walmart today to get a scooter . I can’t sleep in bed, None of them will let me explain how it has affected my bowels if I bend over I have to go, all they say is you don’t have that we looked at your MRI from a year ago. So now they’re sending me to a proctologist . I was a pipefitter for 30 years now @ 53 years old I’m totally disabled I don’t want an inexperienced surgeon trying to fix me just a surgeon that will listen more than 3 minutes and be willing to send me to the right person I rub my tailbone and the pain goes to my testicles the original surgeon with me in the wheelchair says no you don’t have that go see a urologist , my urologist laughed and said it’s my back . I’m Open to suggestions on how to sweet talk a surgeon so they will listen to me since I’m the one in the body. I’m on so much meds my kidneys are on the border between stage 2 & 3.

I have lost friends because of always talking about so many doctors, family thinks I need to quit researching, thanks to this site I have learned a lot. Even met someone on here that has become a friend I chat with weekly.

Same story here as being a number not a patient with a big chain eye clinic. Nurses were kind except one who was a lyeing sob tried to call her out on this but doctor, who was not in the room backed her up. So filled paperwork about this nurse, will it go anyplace doubt it. But someday someplace hope something will happen to sit her down in her lies. It may take some time but the sky will fall. As far as another eye doctor did plan B which of course this facilty says I need a total physical in June told then I am going to Mayos in May said if Mayo's says I am health I think this will trump what a local doctor would do Just another way to keep health costs high. Did they like I am giving you information from Mayos instead of a local doc. No they had a hissy fit I said too bad too sad May clinic is kinda the top of the medicine chain My feeling sucks it up This what is going to happen Lets keep hjealth costs down
