Very upset and disheveled. It felt like a long but slow day due to a doctor appointment.
I realize this feeling is a result of anxiety and sensitivity, which makes me feel even more like a baby whining. Need to get it off my chest.
For starters, I was late to an appointment with a new doctor because I suck with directions. When I finally get there (usually I would've just given up finding the place if I'm running late to something) the receptionists were b*tchy and not very helpful. Ok..expected; I read reviews prior on the staff.
My doctor did tend to all of my requests (referrals, medication) so.. I'm grateful for that. However, she did state I needed to stop googling medical illnesses, which offended me. It's not like I was freaking out on her thinking I had a 101 conditions. If anything, it should make it a bit easier for her because I know what I'm talking about. This reminded me of the doctor I visited a few months ago who called me a hypochondriac. I mean seriously? It's not very professional telling me I need to relax and stop worrying- as if it's that easy.
In addition to that there was confusion with one the referrals at the end so she had to come back out of her office after seeing me to speak with me (don't know why the receptionist couldn't do it) and gave me attitude. I felt like she was being very confrontational and I left the appointment rather irritated and defeated. It was just a misunderstanding, made me feel ignorant and incapable. I didn't give anyone attitude, I certainly don't expect it from my doctor.
Now I don't want to go back even though she is a good doctor. I thought this was something I could overlook, but now I understand how one bad apple spoils the rest. Or in this case, a couple of them are contaminated. It was enough to push me to say screw that career path as well. I wouldn't want to be around others like this. Obviously I haven't had the best occurrences with medical professionals..
I'm afraid if I go back and it happens again I'm going to explode on somebody. I hate confrontation. :crying:
Also, I have to take my rabbit to the vet tomorrow for a spay operation. There's a possibility she could have cancer, and this doctor seems like a bit of an a**hole as well.
h: Don't want to hear about doctors for awhile after this.
Sorry for the rant.. :sad: just feeling exhausted.
