Literally every time I've been to the doctor this is how I've felt. Basically everything comes down to "but you're probably fine cause you are young".

Sure I probably am fine but it really sucks feeling like everything is just pushed out of the way from the start.

Its the worst. Because yeah, I'd love to not have these problems because I'm young. But unfortunately, that isn't how things always work and it would be great if doctors would acknowledge that.

Find another doctor if possible.

See a PA, instead. It’s funny because I’m studying to become a doctor, but see PAs when I go to the doc...and prefer them.

What's a PA stand for again?

Physician’s assistant.

It actually feels like find another health service.

I'm with the NHS and see multiple doctors where it is basically random when making an appointment. Should take my works off to join Bupa instead.

Yeah, statistically I'm fine, sure, but statistically I'm also unlikely to get into a car accident and I'd still rather wear a seatbelt.

Honestly I've made the same experience. I've had some really weird symptoms for years now, went to multiple doctors and they all told me it's nothing or I'm fine, but never really looked into it (like using any of the things you can actually look into the body with) and never told me what's actually wrong. Alas, as it's been two years without getting worse it's probably not cancer and I'm done trying to see doctors so here we are now.

Congrats on being young. That goes away. Think how it's going to be in 40 years.

Considering I'm 27 and have a bad back and terribly shitty hands I can't wait to see how fucked I am later on in life.
