As far as peoples characters go, doc’s are a bit strange.

They tend to carry the prestige with them and enjoy the social benefits of being a doc and having authority which most are seduced by but behind this is not often noticed.

There is something missing, a void, a lack of confidence, a heaviness and this is might be that they are told what they are doing is good and helping people and people treat them as if they do but deep down they know that it’s not all that it seems. It’s not the doc’s faults because they are taught what they are taught and told what they are told and work hard at what they do under immense pressure.

It has to come to a point that the majorty will question that with elleged advancements, the drugs, technology, the constant “raising money for research” and “disease awareness” and “scientists might have discovered a way to manage insert disease” that it’s not really working, we are not advancing in a good direction in terms of the health of the major population. Be honest.

It seems today that most humans experience health and beauty up until some point in late pubity and then it’s all down hill from there for most, I’m too young to know if there was a time when people experienced health and beauty beyond pubity and aged much better.

When they say we live longer and use the statistics, it’s not looking into how the people look and feel while alive and this is most important.

A bit down the article it says on average it takes 6 seconds for someone to explain their symptoms perfectly.

11 seconds is almost double of that. Interrupting socially is frowned upon Right? Makes you come across as a knowbetter? Pff Such a doctor thing anyway..

I went to my pcp, she was just who I ended up seeing. I’ve tried three other facilities but subpar seems to be all I can find. I heard her outside the door in half an hour. Thought she would arrive, 60 minutes later I went looking for her, left the door open so she wouldn’t evade me again.

Went there for a chronic ear problem, I assumed it was an infection, because they’d given me antibiotics when it felt this way. My throat was so sore it felt like a razor blade each time I swallowed . She said there was no infection, and maybe she could refer me to an ear, nose, and throat specialist. I said no, it is about the whole of me, and I didn’t think that was the right path to go down.

It’s strange that many of them are in the dark ages, I don’t think they are aware that it all stems from the gut, and not so great metabolism. I used to believe all of that doctor’s garbage. I just want them to fix me when I can’t fix myself. I think we are two people who are working towards the same goal, this is how it should be. What happened to this scenario, I’ve been watching too much Leave it to Beaver.

I don’t know how I did it but I left with a prescription for amoxicillin and nystatin. I knew what I wanted and it was so hard for her to “help” me, maybe because she wasn’t coming up with the idea that if it’s chronic and antibiotics fix “it” for a little bit but it comes back, so I was thinking Nystatin for fungal. But who knows if that’s promising. I want to see and feel results, and as self-experimentation is the name of the game. I made a somewhat knowledgeable decision, I know both of them have drawbacks. I’ve been at this for over a year, physically I look great, but inside I’m tired, sad, anxious, and I feel better than I did a year ago. I need to keep reminding myself of that. When the blinders are off, what then?

And it turns out that many doctors prescribe nystatin after antibiotics, antibiotics I believe can give you thrush.

Anyway, bottom line is I left there feeling disempowered. I think they do not like the masses having a little bit of (their) knowledge.

And the visit lasted maybe 20 minutes, and I think she let me get out 3 sentences about my situation. I felt violated, sounds harsh but I will tell them to $$$$ off. As a doctor patient thing, it is rare to find a relationship. So if you do, hold onto that doctor.
