@Void - I think I'm quite lucky that the hospital I work at really pushes patient centred care and patients are constantly involved in the decision making process
My hematologist is one of them. I spend 30 minutes in the waiting room, see the nurse for vitals, wait another 30 minutes. See him for maybe 10 minutes in which case he just tells me what he's going to do and then immediately fucks off.
The last doctor I went to, said that if I don't watch my sugar intake I will become diabetic. Really I don't eat that much sweet stuff like candy. All food has some sugar in it, natural sugar
I had a lot of stuff that was all over the place that was inflammation related, but I was also in a lot of pain. Once that got under control, everything started going back to normal
I just find it funny that in TV shows with doctors they are determined to do whatever it takes to diagnose someone whereas in real life doctors just pass you onto the next person or dismiss it if it is too hard.
