Doctor, Painful and Health: Don't get high on your own supply

Don't get high on your own supply

Today, I saw my doc about the painful swelling I've had in my arm all week. He seemed totally out of it, and ended up telling me it's all in my head, despite the swelling. When I respectfully suggested it might be a blood issue, he just said, "Nah". FML

Today, after months of random vomiting with no apparent cause, I finally got some tests done. The doctor says there's nothing wrong with me and that it's all just in my head. Great. FML

Today, I went to the doctor with some serious physical symptoms that amount to being effectively disabled. She didn’t even ask any questions or examine me before telling me it was all purely psychological. I barely managed to convince her to at least order some blood tests, as a formality. FML

Today, I went to a pain specialist to get help with my chronic pain. He did not diagnose anything or discuss causes. He then said, "Good luck with that" as I left. Of course, I still got billed. FML

Today, my doctor called with my test results, which seem to tell him that there's absolutely nothing wrong with me. I'm still sitting here with an appendage that I'd swear was dispensing napalm, but now I have a $500 bill to go with it. FML

Today, I have been dealing with painful lymphedema and I'd finally got a doctor's appointment, but they called and cancelled last minute. Here's to another week being in pain… FML

Today, I went to see a doctor about some of the memory problems I've been having. After the appointment, I could barely remember a thing he told me. FML

Today, a doctor examined my wrist, which is completely swollen and painful. He diagnosed a case of tendonitis and asked me, "Do you use this hand for a particular sort of sport?" I just smiled like a twit. FML

Today, I visited my new doctor for the migraines I've been getting lately. Right from the start, I could have sworn the guy was on drugs. He just listened to my heartbeat, said, "Well Dave, it sounds like gallstones" and said they'll pass naturally. FML

Today, I went to the hospital for crippling back pain that made it impossible to walk. The doctor was more interested in telling me off for not taking a pill that he admitted doesn't help acute pain. He then gave me an injection that wore off in an hour, and sent me home, telling me to take over the counter meds. FML

Today, my doctor informed me that the tests we've been doing the previous months show no sign of leukemia. I was just about to express my relief when he casually followed up with, "Never mind, there's still a lot of other blood-related diseases we need to look out for." FML

Seems like someone has been writing off his own prescriptions.

You just don't get it, do you? You don't "suggest" things to your doctor if you want to get out alive. And if the doctor says it's in your head, it is. Doctors were, are and always will be superior to us normal human beings who are dumb enough to get sick. And for the idiots who take this seriously: it's sarcasm. Get used to it.

Are you saying that people should suggest diagnoses and tests to their doctors because laypeople know as much medicine as doctors do? Because that seems to be what you're implying with your scathing sarcasm and acerbic wit.

I'm so sorry about your doctor, he sounds like a real jerk! Try to find a new one ASAP; the swelling in your arm could be serious or nothing at all. Hopefully it's nothing! Good Luck!

Maybe it is in your head....and thighs, back, and stomach. Put down the twinkies!....but really OP it's always recommended to get a second opinion. GL.

Lol... If you knew DocBastard, you would know that he isn't an idiot. Idiots generally "test" prescription drugs, troll, or people who joke about a respected FML(er).
