I have multiple symptoms from birth which cause me pain, loss of some body tissues and could render me unable to walk. Doctors always ignored me. I convinced myself I communicated badly. I made extensive list of everything. Ignored again. Got a full DNA test which shows inborn issues with same symptoms. Still ignored. Still in pain. Completely hopeless. Tired. Recovering from another surgery with complications. If they addressed my issues, I don't think I'd ever need surgeries. But I had around 10. I developed a complete disdain for medical personnel. They feel purposefully malicious in the negligence. I don't understand it.
I myself have never had a good experience with doctors, mostly psych ones. I've had some big issues combined with several minuscule ones like non-24 and stunted emotional quality, and they played around with all of them like it was interpretational. At one point was deathly allergic to at least one of my medications yet they weren't so quick to change mine, leaving me to endure, as well as making counselors/psychiatrists legally mandated for many people where I live even for many who have no issues at all. Lemmy is slow to learn that whether or not medical professionals take their liberties is not a matter of debate.
