[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had an appointment with my GP this week.  I had been having some headaches so I went in in December and this was the follow up appointment, after testing.

He asked how my headaches were, and I said they'd been doing a lot better.  He looked at me like I had 2 heads and asked why I was there?

I went because those tests showed I have a BRAIN TUMOR and I would have liked some insight on my BRAIN TUMOR from MY DOCTOR.

Some doctors are worse than useless, he obviously didn't read the report until I was sitting in the office with him.  It was a waste of both our time because he definitely didn't know anything about my very serious condition on the fly.

I'm not sure what to think at this point.  It definitely made me feel like he doesn't care about me at all, even if that is not true.  I already have a pretty bad case of doctor avoidance but I really need good medical help now and it's making me distrust everything.

He probably doesn't care about you. Based on your attitude, he might be looking forward to finally being done with you as a patient.[/quote]

Seriously, what do you want from patients?  If we aren’t supposed to Google, but should rely on our doctors, but also aren’t allowed to expect said doctors to be aware of and informative about our (very serious) diagnosis…I expect, as you imply here, you think we should just go ahead and die so we aren’t annoying?  Just listen to yourself.  What does being so vicious to others do for you? [/quote]

Yes, for many posters in this thread, that would be the preferred outcome for all concerned. As soon as practical.[/quote]

PP here with a brain tumor.  I applaud your willingness to risk this kind of karma.  It takes a special kind of sociopath to go there.[/quote]

It's quite easy when you know you'll outlive them. It's like a guaranteed win.[/quote]
