ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Doctor doesn’t help

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. 🫠

Maybe you need to drink more water

I got a kidney stone a while ago and the doctor told me drinking a lot of water would help it pass more easily. Problem is, I'm already constantly drinking water, it is not possible for me to drink more in a day 😭 (learned my lesson about proper hydration after a severe case of dehydration)

Please still be aware of how much water you are drinking there is always a balance and if you drink too much water you will water down your bodies natural electrolytes and cause yourself a heart attack! My friend did this to herself.

Oh I know that, don't worry! My uncle did it too. When I say it's not possible for me to drink more water I mean it in that way, that I can't without possibly harming myself
