Is it ok to vent a little bit?

@harley22. @pkh3381 Yes, it can feel really good to vent and complain about the healthcare system. Just know that it’s only a fraction of healthcare. But the best thing for you is to do your venting on the discussions in Just Want to Talk discussion group. We want this group to be positive and to focus on helping each other with their autoimmune diseases. We, especially me, need to to feel uplifted every day so we have the right attitude to deal with the problem we have been handed. Does that sound OK with you?

Thank you for this. It ended up being very helpful. I'm not really upset about it, just rolling my eyes because the only thing a doctor has ever helped me with was a broken arm, baby delivery and tubal ligation. All others have gaslit, ridiculed or been dismissive of issues I have had the past 40+ years.
As a member of this group, I think it is a part of the entire person, to need to talk a bit about something going on in our lives concerning our relationship with our doctors and his staff. It’s very comforting to know that our group can support us every now and again about an issue like this. In my opinion this group is kind loving and supportive.

Becky, yes that's ok with me. Unbeknownst to you, I assume, is a posting I made about Mayo in which I stated that I have TOLD nearly every person I have encountered in my many appointments for testings and with Drs that, "there must be an employment requirement for all Mayo staff, and that requirement must be KINDNESS". This comes from my heart because I have encountered so many kind people at Mayo. So, yes, I vent about the problems I have encountered, which I still maintain should not be happening, but Becky, I am also posting positive comments, too. I just want others who are venting that I certainly understand what they are going through because I have encountered similar. Just saying......
