Doctors.

I think I've found my voice once again. That writers block didn't last too long thankfully (touch wood).

Let me begin by saying that I hate going to the doctors. I hate any form of pill or medication full stop. I hate bandages and supports and slings and anything else medical that you can think of. I don't have a phobia, I just don't like any of these things.

Despite my hatred of doctors and surgeries, my condition means that I often find myself winding up there. It means that I end up hearing the medical jargon that makes no sense and often get fobbed off as not knowing what i'm talking about because I don't have a medical degree.

I really think that it's wrong how 90% of doctors will fob off someones pain, injury or illness as "imaginary" when they so clearly cannot feel what someone else is feeling. If they'd just listen carefully for once, maybe they could actually help people more often.

Despite this whole gripe, there are two doctors at my surgery that I actually trust, and I saw one of them today. I may not like the solutions she's come up with, but I can, for once, say that a doctor has fully listened to what i have to say and has come up with a method of elimination to try and deal with the pain.

Lets just hope more of these better experiences happen, because quite frankly, 99.9% of the time, the service at the doctors is shocking and not in a good way.

Thanks,

Alie :) x
