I have tried to make my voice heard but to no avail I’m cut off mid sentence and he’s out the door. This next appointment is going to be different I am going be heard and if not I will ask to be referred to another specialist or I’ll reach out to my primary for a referral. Everyone’s encouragement has been amazing and very appreciated. It is helping me to find my voice and making me realize I count too! My appointment is tomorrow I will updated asap. Thank you so much.

@lclark918 Good for you! Picture that we will be crowded into that room with you, and dare that doctor to dismiss your concerns!
A quick story. Several years ago, I had a a primary care dr who was a busy man, handling residents besides his practice. I liked his education, and how he handled my case. But he had terrible time issues. One time he forgot I was there and went off to a meeting! So, I sat down with him once, and asked, "Do you have time for me? Do you want me as a patient? You are a good doctor for me, but I will not be a pawn, and subject to non-service." I don't think anyone had ever confronted him like that before, and he really changed his tune with me. Advocating for ourselves can make a difference.

Yes! Speak up and advocate for yourself. I’ll be cheering you on from the sidelines.
You’ve got this.
