it’s so awful so many people just don’t have doctors who care and do their jobs i can’t even watch the whole video because it hits too close to home and it’s why i take a Lyft to a hospital that understands my central line and takes it seriously getting care shouldn’t be this hard
You mentioned a PCP, are you a fairly new patient w/them, or have they seen you before? Man or woman? I won't see a man for nothing if I can help it. I have 2 PC doctors, one I've seen for 25 years (semi-retired and I'm in her core group) the other new and building a relationship while healthy.
Yeah, I have avoided (emergency) medical care on multiple occasions because I knew I wouldn't actually receive care. I would just be gaslit and blamed.
