I went to a mental health clinic and I was struggling HARD with suicidal ideations and trying not to get to THAT point. The clinic said “you haven’t had a recent suicide attempt so we can’t help you” which just sounds like an invitation to try it.

I got injured at work and went through Physical Therapy on my Doctor's orders. The doctor had me take 4 weeks off to see how Physical Therapy would help. Work didn't like this and had me sent to an "independent specialist" that was a 30 minute drive away. I'm waiting in a very tiny, very cramped office, and when I finally got to see this "specialist", he decided to curl up one of his finger and jab me right where my injury was before telling my work that I was fine to return to work. I was not, and it took several months of healing before I was back to normal, and my job fired me in the meantime because I used up my hours trying to recover

My twin and I were told at 12 by our pediatrician, without our parents there, that we wouldn't live to 20 as our asthma was just too bad. We never said anything to anyone until we were in our 30s. (To be fair, I returned home for a visit once and ended up in ED and one nurse literally said 'I can't believe you're still alive,... that came out wrong) Another doctor kept rudely asking how many children I had when preparing me for an emergency appendectomy. He kept insisting I must have had children because of my stretch marks. I was 14 and had been on large doses of steroids for my asthma. One of the nurses was holding my mother back because she was about to slap him. My twin told a resident to drop dead when she was about 13. He responded that she'd be the one dropping dead. So, she punched him. He dropped to the floor. He always double checked which twin he was seeing after that and stayed a good distance away from my sister.

A family member had been seeing her GP for a while, complaining about sever abdominal cramping and that her abdomen was swelling. He would send her home with pain medication and told to use a hot water bottle to help with the pain. When he was on holidays she saw his fill in. And he sent her for a scan, Needless to say , she was taken from getting the scan in an ambulance to the hospital for emergency surgery. As they were operating one ovary burst and the other was showing signs. She survived the operation and made another 8 weeks until the cancer took her. At least she got to say goodbye to her young sons and the rest of the family.... Miss you Deb😢😢😢

I don't know if a therapist is a type of doctor but it's the closest thing I got. I had cancer in my leg at 8, can't walk, drive, party (important), and can't drink due to my meds I take (also important). When I went to see him because I was depressed, he told me that I just needed to be happy and I'll be good to go. His idea of me becoming happy, was partying and drinking like a normal early 20 year old that I was then. When I told him I can't party or drink because if my leg/meds, he told me "then you will never be a normal person and therefore you will never be truly happy". Needless to say, I was even more depressed after that experience that I still had to pay him for for his time

I was pissing blood one morning, so I went to the local VA clinic to see if I could get a few minutes with my doctor. His nurse got in my face, and started yelling that I had to make an appointment, and it would be close to a month wait. I told her that I had a history of urinary infections and asked for a blood test to get some antibiotics. She started yelling, "You're not a $%^ doctor! It's obvious that you have a f^$%^&g kidney stone, Go to the f^$%^&g VA Hospital! Does this look like a f^$%^&g hospital? I got up to leave. She yelled, "Where the f^$%^& do you think that you're going?" as she followed me through the waiting area. I sighed, "Since I can't get to the hospital, I'm going home to die." Then she really freaked out! Word about this spread quickly. A few hours later a local Veterans help organization contacted me, and arranged transportation. I got to the hospital four painful days later, where they did a blood test and told me I had a bad inflection. Then they asked why I didn't get tested at the local clinic. I told them about 'Nurse Ratched'' and her refusal to listen to me. A year later I woke one morning and I couldn't open my right eye. Once again, she refused to let me see my doctor as she ranted, "I'm sick of your constant f^$%^&g whining! Go to f^$%^&g Walgreens and buy some f^$%^&g eye drops! Then go home and stiop being a f^$%^&g whiner!" I was about to leave when my doctor stepped out of his exam room. He asked. "Why are you here?" I told him about my eye. He turned pale, Let me see, right now! He told me to get to the VA hospital as fast as possible. There was a DAV shuttle van going there the next morning. When I arrived I was sent to the ER. As soon as I told them the problem, I was given an Ultrasound, followed by an MRI less than 30 minutes later. The wait time fora MRI was typically over three months for most patients Only certain emergencies got priority. I'd had a 'Third Nerve Palsey' which required immediate attention. I ended up making seven trips to that VA hospital before they decided that I was healing properly. I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes The VA shipped me test strips and lancets, and thee vile Metformin, but you had to go through a class to get the meter. She was ranting that I was "Too damned lazy to keep a Glucose log!". I told her that I had been waiting over 18 months to get the meter because the 'class' was repeatelyd canceled. I saw a new meter in the sealed box on her desk. I grabbed it and ripped it open. I coded it, and used the test solution before I tested myself. I told her that I had taught my dad to use three different meters, and I had friends who designed them. Then I left with the meter.

@@fullmetalgamer6062Thank you. This happened before Trump was CIC. You typically couldn't get them fired, they would just be transferred to somewhere else. He made it possible to get rid of bad workers without taking them to court. There was a two year waiting list to be assigned to a Primary Care doctor. Clinton had opened up care for more Veterans, without the funding to do it. This was before I needed it. Later, Obama set up another BS program without funding it. I was supposed to have surgery to remove excess skin from my eyelids, so I could be tested for Glaucoma, but the funding never came. The attitude of most VA workers reminded me of angry postal workers, rather than medical. I've been in the system for nearly 20 years. I watched as it slowly got better. When I was first discharged, almost 50 years ago I needed medical care but they only treated combat related issues, if you hadn't retired after 20 years active duty. There was no exit physical, and good luck getting your medical records back then! The VA completed a major construction project at the hospital I use, which doubled the number of patient room and added space for many clinics that were scattered around the city. Then they built a modern, spacious clinic in my city to do the same consolidation. It is a freestanding facility with plenty of parking, The old faculty was opened pre-Clinton so you could barely move around in the overcrowded clinic without bumping into people or having to wait for an opening to leave. The VA doctor that did my intake exam was yelling at me that I was 'too stupid to know what to eat', because I was a little overweight and I had been bedridden for two years. He insisted that I see a VA nutritionist. It was an 18 month wait until I could finally see one I handed her a half in thick stat of computer printouts with one meal per page of what I ate, and the quantities. It was right at 1800 calories per day, The doctor looked them over and asked, "Where did you get this?" I told her that I have some slight food allergies, along with some foods I can't digest and a few that make me quite ill so I ran a series of experiments on what I could eat. I ran them twice, with the same results and I had them in order from the ones that treated me the best. She shook her head as she read his notes about me and said that she couldn't have given me a better diet. Then she grinned, "He's not at the VA hospital anymore, I don't know where he is. I smilled and said, My motto on active duty was 'Never piss off the Engineer!! We don't get mad! We don't get even! We go for over unity!'' The fact that i wasn't a doctor didn't matter, because I was trained to research problems and find answers and most officers didn't impress me. My military school was three years. Their OCS was much shorter so I typically ignored them to be certain that my work was done properly. May you have a Blessed day!

@@kurotsuki7427 I don't know if she's still around. I've had at least six different VA doctors and over a dozen nurses since then. I had two Indian doctors who barely spoke enough English to be useful, and they treated me like a third class citizen, since in India, doctors were 'above everyone else'. I told her that I was an Engineer who spent more time studying than she had, and I'd worked jobs that made her time as an intern seem like a vacation. Like seven months straight of 112 hours per week, plus two hours a day driving. Less than four hours a day to sleep that entire time) I told one what an id10t he was. I asked him why diabetics weren't supposed to use Epsom salt. Long ago, it was used as a laxative, and it disrupts your electrolytes which was even worse for diabetics. He did a very obvious google search and told me, "It dries out your skin!" I laughed and told him that it softens dead skin to wash it away without causing additional damage from rubbing the areas and that it was the salt part in 'bath salts. He told me, "You're mo doctor!" I told him that he was poorly educated and not well skilled in medicine. Then I added, "Engineers are taught to research issues, while many doctors never update their study during their lifetime. My skills wouldn't be usable for more thn few years without constant study. Then I changed to a VA clinic in another city. I am between the two, and it's about 10 miles to either of them.

I have had only one of these, which is kind of odd, I have a complex medical condition that is commonly misdiagnosed. It’s not you’re looking for an needle in a haystack, you have to know there’s a needle there to begin with. But I digress, Since my experience of doctoring is partly my fault, but we’ll get there. About seven years ago, I was trying to work out with a personal trainer, emphasis on try. I thought I had pulled a muscle, and what I do for a pulled muscle. I rested it, I drank plenty of water, But never seem to get better. How did I know this? One of my classes in college was all the way at top of a bunch of stairs, I want to say two or three flights. You could’ve taken an elevator, but I prefer the stairs for two reasons, the first being that it was better for me aerobically and the second being a mobility issue. You see, I have to know exactly where, an elevator or set of stairs will drop me off. I knew those stairs would drop me very close to where the classroom was, where is the elevator would leave me halfway down the other end of the hallway. It was particularly painful going up those stairs, and the pain never gotten any better. So that Friday I went to Student Health Services, which is why I say they’re about as helpful as a bucket of water. Was bad enough I was sitting in a wheelchair, and I usually refuse the offer of a wheelchair. To me is to know that I am highly mobile, if I can do it myself, my own two arms or two legs I will do it. They told me it was a pulled muscle, And just go home. That did not fly, because the very next night I was in so much pain. I was bawling my eyes out and couldn’t sleep, which would’ve been the case for the last week, but not sleeping, the bawling the eyes out. I was taken to the local ER in my beautiful little tiny town and was told I had sciatica. This is where I’m at, I completely forgot the doctors and I’m allergic to Percocet and oxycodone, don’t ask me why. You see, the next day, it was two days later, I came back because it was still painful. This is after the steroid and muscle relaxer they had given me at the hospital. But I figured, baluster to evils, excruciating pain, or itchy, rash? I’ll take itchy rash, there are things you can do for that. So yes, that’s my doctors screwed up story. Unless of course you want the one from about 2015, no .10. Because of my condition I sometimes have to have Holter monitors put on me and be monitored for the next 24 hours. Then we take this beautiful device and we send it back into the doctor to have it reviewed. It’s kind of like a portable EKG is. Well, apparently the files got mixed up, and I was told I was perfectly fine, all things considered. I was not, we went for a second opinion at the big research hospital in my area, I live in Ohio and the beautiful United States of America, so the big research hospital in the area is Cleveland clinic. I had a cardiology appointment up there anyway, And of course I found something. I had to be cardioverted, kind of like being shot with a defibrillator but more controlled. And have my process heart valve changed out two months later, that was August. The surgery happened in October. Please pardon all the errors dictation makes, because of one of my symptoms many symptoms, functional blindness, I dictate all my comments, and dictation rarely likes me.
