Horrible day. Doctors are, as always, completely useless.

Did you mention that you think it might be blephartis?

Lazy doctors prescribing antibiotics <<<

Chiomara · 07-11-2017, 05:29 PM

I mentioned it offhand, yes, but in my experience, doctors don't like when you so much as imply that you might be self-diagnosing and will be even more condescending toward you as a result and/or think you're a hypochondriac.

There is exactly ONE good doctor in the whole Dallas/Ft.Worth metroplex but he is very much in high-demand so you have to wait months to get an appointment with him. I adore him though. He's very short and wears cowboy boots.

Yeah noticed the same, they don't like it. I've had a similar situation to you, and it turned out I was right after several visits and different doctors but it was a thing you need a quick diagnosis for otherwise the damage is done and well the damage was done.

Really annoys me that they just prescribe things so quickly.

Yeah, and I hate they they seem to discourage patients asking questions. I know that with more serious conditions it's best to have someone with you, as you'll receive better care if you have your own personal advocate of sorts.

I've personally managed to get rid of certain ailments with kooky-seeming home remedies because that's just what you have to do sometimes if you're poor and living in the hell hole that is America.

Read a lot about net neutrality today. Looks like this is an American problem, since the rest of the world doesn't use Verizon, AT&T, or whatever else.

I do have one question though here at the end of the day. The abolition of net neutrality means extra fees for internet users, right? So does that mean fewer poor people online? If so, I'm in favor of the abolition of net neutrality.

Spoiler for boring personal information: I went in to get my eye thing looked at (I'm 95% sure it's blephartis) seeing as it has now spread to the other eye. That plus the mystery rash on my face that's now spread to my chin. I look like a disgusting monster. The doctor poked at my eye for a minute and essentially shrugged. She didn't diagnose me. She just gave me antibiotics. And she was extremely condescending and rude the entire time. Guess I'll be going to a dermatologist + eye doctor if necessary. I will likely end up having to order whatever they give me on a canadian or indian online pharmacy which is annoying because the shipping takes a long time, but oh well. edit: well, I did actually manage to clear the rash from my cheeks but seeing as I have rosacea I look bad regardless. And I completely forgot to ask for Prozac. That's the one antidepressant (the one SSRI, that is-- they won't let me try the older antidepressants for some stupid reason) I haven't tried yet. The rest haven't worked at all and I really need something for my OCD and depression but I cannot afford a psychiatrist. Part of me doesn't want to bother ever trying more medication again, but seeing as everyone around me likes to guilt-trip me and treat me extremely strangely when I'm depressed, I figure I might as well try one last time.
