This was timely. I spent last week explaining my medical history once again to get a pre authorization to refill a prescription I’ve been on for 3 years to a medical assistant who obviously lacked reading comprehension. I get it, I’m complex, I have left over effects from that intestinal infection that she missed. It’s scary that said assistant can approve prescriptions at doses that would make me ill, and that I’ve never actually taken.
I’m tired. I’m done. Hubby looked at me when I explained why I was stressed out, and said, time to get a new doctor. The doctor is fine in person, but she lets her cunty assistants answer messages. I miss my private pay doctor so much. I hope we can afford her again soon. I never have to explain myself twice. She carefully explains the science and why she wants me to do something, instead of me asking questions like, “but to accurately test that, I’d have to go off for 4 months and I’d get really sick”. Response, Oh, yeah, that’s right.
I’m a compliant patient, once something is explored and looks like a good plan, I do my follow up appointments, I don’t cause trouble other than I’m going to ask questions.
I’m desperate for doctors who know what they are talking about or are willing to say they don’t know. I want experts with depth, again. I want a country with depth again. America is a large lake that’s 2 inches deep.

I'm put in mind of the diagnosis system in Idiocracy.
Hugs and more hugs.
Listening but admitting I don't always hear.
You hear. I hear you hearing.
I can barely brush my teeth without falling over.
If a man brushes his teeth in the forest but doesn't fall over, is there anyone there to hear it?
No but his screams from the falling tree would entertain the chipmunks for a while.
