Folks, how's the fam? How are you? I am still not well 🤒.
That sounds miserable. Good job dragging yourself to the clinic (twice!) to get some answers
Our walk-in is awesome. Its probably because its run by the local university. They take you seriously, talk to you like an adult, and want to solve your problem so you don't come back. I'm working on getting in to the uni general practice as my primary care. My GP is a fucking weirdo and talks to me like I'm a child. Every time I see him I'm reminded of why I don't want to see him.
That shit is the worst. And you have to pay for the privilege of having all these unproductive appointments.
The worst is I saw a review someone left of him a while back that said "Do not go to this man, my wife went several times complaining of X, and he told her it was probably nothing. Well, we didn't like that answer and got a second opinion, it turned out to be cancer." When I had an obvious hernia, he took a look at it and said "Yeah, looks like you have a little hernia there. You could most likely just live with it, or if you really want, I could give you a referral. Up to you." and I looked at him and said "Well, you're the doctor, does it seem like something that needs to get repaired?" and he dodged the question, so I said to give me a referral. The Hernia specialist took one look at it and said, "Oh... yeah we really need to get that taken care of, that's not looking great."
I cannot wait to get away from this asshole, and men physicians in general, talking to me about my body. This is coming from another man too. Shit, statistically you have better health outcomes if you see a woman as your GP, according to some studies.
Toxic masculinity really do be like that lol
Good luck finding a decent (and affordable, have to add that in there
) doctor and get well soon
Thanks comrade. I have one lined up, but the intake appointment isn't until October. I've been on the books for like 4 months.
