Hello. 3 years ago I fell into a nightmare situation with doctors and have still not completely healed. I went through over 100 doctors, covered and not covered by insurances, private, university, specialists, whatever.
I want to write a few formal complaints because I'm finally recovered enough that I don't faint every few hours or walk around in extreme pain.
I found out at the tail end of my visits in the US that about 1/3 of the way into the journey one of my doctors had written nasty untrue stuff about me visit (said I wasn't listening to his advice, nothing was wrong with me, after I told him.i was in so much pain and exhaustion I fainted 10 times a day, heart rate over 100 for three months in a row, grinding teeth so hard from pain I cracked my molar..., refused to test me for infections that I DID have....). After I finally got tested I went through over a dozen doctors to finally get one to agree to give me the abx. It was like Kafka. I would show them the research and they would be like but that's not out hospital policy.
I wasn't savvy about the patriarchy or about medical gaslighting back then so my own records of the journey aren't great but if i.could have some encouragement would really appreciate. Cross posted. Just feeling panicky whenever I remember why I am like this. Thanks in advance.
