When a doctor sees me...

[Deleted member 68927]

They see my private health insurance card, and nothing else. Today I went for an insulin test, got a lecture on what to eat and what not to eat instead.

...

I did not even eat the stuff I was not supposed to.

I don't care how, but from now on, I will only go to my personal doctor. He is nice and actually wants for me to live a long life. (We need more people like him, right?)

Did something similar happen to you?

It's hard to trust doctors, but sometimes you have no other choice. I just don't like how every thing comes with a medicine. I can go to a doctor today and have 5 pills I have to take by tomorrow.

Well yeah? Doctors are pretty much all employed by the insurance companies so of course they don't really care about you.

Last time I've been in the doctor it was when I was dodging a draft 2 years ago. Public ones are doing their minimum for their paycheck (which I understand) but private paid ones are good actually, given they take money for each session lol

In my country private doctors are the only good option you have most of time because those public servant ones are rude etc.Weirdly not related to the thread but if you want an operation it good to have like 5 people around or you might find yourself without some daily helpful organs

Did y'all noticed how Lawyers and Doctors, the two professions that Asian people wish on their kid, can have a lot of overcharged scumbags?

Weird huh.

My friend was diagnosed with diabetes. How did the doctor tell them? Well, the doctor sorta didn't. The pharmacy called to tell them that the metformin prescription their doctor called in was ready for him. They found out after they asked what that was for.

I've had a shitty doctor before, but I've been mostly pleased with Kaiser doctors . . . except for the Pitocin debacle, but from watching "The Business of Being Born," my husband and I went in prepared for that.

My dad lost 100 lbs in less than a year because of cdiff. We met with one of the nurses and they explained that he is overweight and that is a risk. Kinda like a broken record. Someone just almost died because they lost weight too fast due to an infection >:(

The things I've seen are too much to tell. Half of the things I've heard from medical doctors, you won't believe or find deplorable. Most healthcare professionals are heartless harpies who want nothing more than the mula at the end of the night. Sadly, many lose their hearts due to loans and critical work conditions.
