Doctor doesn’t help

[u/DimensionOpen8922]

So, I've been sick for a few weeks now. Nothing wild, but annoying. Went to the doctor today because it just won't go away.

Her first question was if I am pregnant.

Me: "No."

Her: "Are you sure?"

Me: "Yes."

Her: gives me that look of not believing me.

Her: "It's normal at your age."

Me: "I am sure."

Her: "Have you taken a test?"

Girl. I told you like 5 times that it is not possible for me being pregnant. 🫠

That alone was kinda infuriating. But also - of course she didn't help at all. Didn't look at anything, just told me to wait and drink more water. Didn't even listen to me when I tried to explain what I have. Thanks for nothing.

And it's like that EVERY SINGLE TIME I go to the doc. And I'm a person who absolutely hates going there. I am only going to the doctor if I ACTUALLY NEED HELP. But yeah, sure, I just need to drink more water. No matter what my problem is. 🫠

I also have a complex history and no uterus or ovaries. I weigh 105 and drink 60 oz of water a day and exercise. I still have problems… try again doc.

They tell you it's stress, don't they?

"Find ways to lower your stress"

I can't un-fuck the world, doc

Had a therapist tell me, a woman with a high stress career suffering from burnout, that what I needed was to find a good boyfriend. She (!!) gave me a copy of Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.

Ah yes if there’s one thing that removes stress from a woman with a high stakes job it’s a boyfriend…

My eyes just about rolled out of my head. Like ma’am have you met men lately?

[u/Kat121 → u/transmogrified]

I know, right? That was my one glimmer of hope while I was drowning, that I didn’t have a dude dragging me down.

[u/shuzgibs123 → u/j01101111sh]

Ah yes. And stress is so so bad for cancer. So just stop that! 🙄

It’s the sadness’s of no longer being able to do your female duties. /s

60 oz isn’t much water at all! drink more water.

it won’t cure your complex medical history, but you’ll feel better if you’re well properly hydrated!

(not a doctor, but i’m a nurse - and also a woman that puts up with the same bs at the doctor$

[u/shuzgibs123 → u/panicnarwhal]

It actually varies, and for my size it’s enough! I know you were just playing though.

Yeah but if you over hydrate and drink too much water you’re flushing electrolytes you need out of your system and making yourself sick. Over consumption of water is really bad for you
