So I've been trying to get into the doctor to have some issues addressed, thrashing in my sleep and depression. After waiting for weeks to see a new doctor, I just had the worst time. First, I didn't get called back until an hour after my scheduled appointment. Although this was annoying, I didn't let it get to me, these things happen.

After being taken back and waiting another 20 minutes for the doctor to come into the exam room, he told me he didn't get a chance to look at my chart, glances over the clipboard, and asks "You're having trouble sleeping?"

I let him know that it's a sleep thrashing issue, and that it's a common side effect of one of my medications. Instead of... well, doctoring, he begins to explain to me that I need to be on a paleo diet and that I needed to lose weight.

I let him talk about this for a few minutes, then interjected, l again let him know that the thrashing is a side effect of a med I'm on and that I dont appreciate being called fat, that I came here for other medical issues. He refused to look at the data, at my vitals in the system, and began ARGUING with me about how he didn't say I was fat. He said that nobody else has ever been offended by this and that "he gives this schpiel to everyone..."

I let him know that I'm asking him to help with the issues I'm having, not losing weight, and if I can't get that help I'll find another physician. He agreed he wasn't the doctor for me.

Ugh.
