My doctor is utterly useless. Her response to EVERYTHING, for as long as I've been going to her, is "That's just how it is ( Read more... )

... find another doctor, if possible? If that one's making you uncomfortable then maybe it's time to switch. :S

Unfortunately my insurance has not allowed me to do so yet. Tried last month and failed utterly; gonna try again though. -_- stupid insurance.

Ah, damn. I forget how hard it is for things like that over there, here it's a lot simpler. Good luck. :/

Thank you. I remain hopeful. There's just... no point in me even going to the doctor until I get a new one at this point. It's just a waste of a day. Heh.

Ugh. I hope you can find a better doctor, because wtf seriously. :/

That's about all my brain can come up with through all the boggling it's doing right now.

Yes. I'm definitely looking.

This is definitely not her first instance of me-having-baby obsession. Years ago I went because of my horrible period pain, etc. and she said "It's normal because you're very young. You should have a baby." o_o

Well, I'm not very young anymore and it's still just as bad (worse, because it lasts longer) so I thought, maybe I should bring it back up and she'll actually check if something's wrong this time....

Naw, her baby obsession is obviously still in full swing.

Man that's freaking annoying D: sorry you've had to put up with that nonsense.

I feel your pain re: babies. All it takes to keep me baby-free is spend time with my girlfriends' kids. :P

I like babies, but they're not a part of my plan for my life. I like others' babies, I can play with them and give them back and so on. Haha. I have a parrot.

But I really don't understand my doctor's obsession with MY having babies. What's it to her? I assume she's this way with all women? It's just so bizarre to me.

Sounds like it's time for a new doctor.

tailypo January 26 2011, 04:19:22 UTC

I hope I can find one. It's difficult with state insurance. :(

phineus January 26 2011, 09:04:16 UTC

Aaauuugh I can't even imagine how insanely uncomfortable I'd be with that doctor. D: Good luck finding a new one.

Yeah, I'm wondering if some of my doctor-phobia will go away if I have a different doctor. How much of it is doctors-in-general and how much of it is just THIS doctor? Heh.

I suspect that the fear would be a lot better if you had a good relationship with your doctor - I never realized how much of my own doctor-phobia was caused by some awful doctors I'd seen, until I started going to someone who is actually friendly and helpful and seems to listen to me. Funny how people are more willing to actually see the doctor if they aren't going to be nagged or yelled at or dismissed out of hand...

Sorry to hear that yours is looking for a top spot on the list of Crappy Doctors To Be Avoided. Hope you can get a new one soon!

I think you're right. I just haven't seen the point of even GOING to her for years, and every visit was just disappointing, guilt-inducing and unpleasant. (She's REALLY rough. And I thought having a woman doctor would be better for... that stuff.)

I also think my dentist phobia got a kabillion times worse after my last dentist, too. Heh.
