Doctors Without Diagnoses
Doctor/Physician, Georgia, Hospital, Ignoring & Inattentive, USA | Healthy | December 3, 2018
(I get a strange painful lump that shows up while I’m pregnant. The doctor tells me not to worry and that it will go away after birth. Six months postpartum, I go to get it checked out again. The doctor tells me to give it more time to heal. Eight months postpartum, I go to a GP to get it checked out, because I’m still in pain and tired of being blown off. I’m quickly diagnosed with a hernia. As I’m getting ready for surgery
Me: “I wish my doctor had just told me he couldn’t do anything and told me to go see someone else.”
Nurse: “Well, that would have meant having to put aside his ego; doctors don’t like to do that.”
