God yes.
Asking the doc for a specific test because I KNOW I have all the symptoms of a particular condition, only to be laughed at, assured that I couldn't possibly have that condition...then after 50 negative tests for OTHER conditions, he finally gives me the test I asked for and it's positive. 🤬

@NativeOregonian yeah I have dealt with that too, from the judge at my disability hearing. He failed to notice that my medical records show my weight increased AFTER being diagnosed. 🙄

@DearAmbellina2113 My weight didn't even come up at my disability hearing last month other than I get severely short of breath and extreme fatigue during exercise.

@DearAmbellina2113 It actually took me over two years to finally get a prescription for bed time oxygen use, both my lung specialist and a sleep specialist kept trying to push sleep apnea and the use of a bipap machine, which made me feel like I was suffocating. Finally my coumadin clinic doctor listened to me and understood that maybe all I needed was night time oxygen to help me feel better in the morning.

My former psychiatrist... took a little longer than I'd like to admit but she was very unqualified.

@raysam363 That stinks 😩

@NativeOregonian My former doctor went down the list of meds, no breaks in between. At worst I was on six medications at once. It really did some damage.

@raysam363 :( That is why I prefer Cannabis, when under proper recommmendation, becausd all its aide effects are beneficial, like sleep and wellness, the munchies and the giggles :)

Replacing Doctor's office with a mental asylum would convert it into a joke.
