[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Alot of doctors are genuinely horrible people. [/b]I could run your ear off for 2 hours about my third pregnancy. I would not be surprised if doctors dismiss everything because they are old. [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]Maybe your parents are angry, anxious people.  But it’s at least equally likely (or maybe a lot more likely) that they have medical complaints and pains and [b]no doctor is helping them or taking them seriously. It’s VERY hard to find a helpful doctor for a chronic condition. Most are awful.[/b] Your parents aren’t wrong.[/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]Ageism is rampant in medicine. I agree with pp that [b]it's impossible to get doctors to take anyone seriously who has a chronic condition[/b]. 50% of the population goes through menopause, and there is little understanding of how it affects the body. More and more research is coming out. [b]The majority of doctors are mostly oblivious to ongoing research and are blind to their biases. [/b]Have some sympathy for your parents. [/quote]

And so anyone posting this is no longer making appointments with doctors, right? Please tell me this is true. [/quote]
You know, if the power company people threatened to turn off your power if you didn't kiss their butt enough, everyone would think they are horrible people.

Sorry doc, we as patients are expecting better. Don't like it? Leave. You're not special. Your profession is not special. You are in a service profession, now act like it. [/quote]

No, I'm saying that if all doctors have to offer is horrible and worthless, then please go see NPs and PAs. They have the gatekeeping licenses and can write for your meds, or for consults. I still don't understand --- honestly here -- why you are seeing doctors instead of others.

I'm not going to argue with you. I believe what you say. Why not find an NP? I don't get it. [/quote]
Unfortunately, NPs don't do laparoscopic C-section isthmocele revisions. If NPs did everything, you better believe I would never show my face to a doctor if I could possibly help it. [/quote]
