There was some technician or whatever doing the EKG for me and at the end I asked her about what she thought, because I assumed she saw a lot of stuff and should be able to make an educated guess. She said she probably could do that but wouldn't, because one time a patient shared her statements with of his doctors and that guy chewed her out pretty hard. Relatively young guy too.
Anyhow, later the guy said I might have some panic disorder and should do a 24 hour EKG in the future. At that point I could've really benefited from an addional point of view but I suppose his ego was more important. The online reviews also said the guy was far too loose with the psycho somatic diagnoses, while other hospitals actually figured the problem out. Like microtoxins or whatever that dissipate quickly in the blood and are hard to pin point unless you take a stool sample maybe. But I'm no doctor obviously. It just curious that guy didn't even care for my diet for example. Eventually I had to unfuck myself on my own guesswork, cleaned up my diet, and don't have any problems anymore.
This whole thing is kinda fucked up because another review talked about how one of the doctors there got mad and send him to the psychological section, for threating to complain about the doctor officially. Turns out some other guy who was friends with doctor wrote favorable diagnosis which later was thrown out by the personal doctor of the reviewer. Another guy said he was tied to the bed for weeks, which I believe, because I heard screams coming from the station at night while smoking a cigarette. I don't want to be dragged into those grinding wheels just because some dude felt lazy. Which probably happens all the time.

Their is a culture and status that attracts people to being a doctor and that brings out the worst in people. The opposite also exists of doctors who truly care and are smart. Their is a lot of creativity, visual skill, and technical skill that can be created only from literally eating a textbook and copy pasting information into your brain. Once at that memory point only real geniuses shine beyond that

To be fair their are some good technicians out their. They can recognize things and know generally what they mean but not much beyond that. Much like being able to distinguish let's say 60 different shades of red is impressive, but then what are their molecular differences, how does treatment differ, etc.
Please shop around for other doctors I'm sorry doctors can be dicks, they are not immune to doing shit like what happened to you.
Gabriel Myers
to be completely fair i think you probably understand that patients are notorious for reacting violently whenever there is the mere suggestion of a psychosomatic illness in spite of the fact that they are actually more prevalent than you might think

Maybe. Just in my case I was at the same hospital a year earlier after having parkinson like seisures and by left face being paralyzed. I could think properly, couldn't remember words, all that shit. Then I did spend a week there and seemingly recovered, so much that the doctors and nurses seemed pissed off at me and got eventually told some psychobabble how I should go home the next day. Then one day later I had my bag packed and everything and was only waiting for my dad and got another seizure, but worse. They do a spinal tap and look at that, turns out I have more white blood cells than usual in my brain and they diagnose a meningitis.
I still remember that smug bastard sitting on my bed telling me something about how it was psychological, even if he danced around a little verbally. Anyhow, if I had been released earlier and happened to drive somewhere while getting a seizure like that I could've killed my or other people. Just because of that cunt.
I'm not getting mad easily and it's not like I would've punched the guy out, but this didn't sit with me right. Now the last time, which wasn't too long ago, I felt like before the last meningitis got severe. I didn't have the same seizures at that point, but felt like oh shit, better do something. So I went to that same hospital again and got the groundhog day program completely with some dude telling me it's just psychogical. I had to demand another spinal tap and luckily enough this wasn't another miningits, even though I had like microseizures I can't really explain. They send me home and write a letter which doesn't represent what I said, which was the point where I said fuck it and cleaned myself up personally.
I never had the urge to go violent and didn't even get loud, but I lost a lot of respect for doctors. Some at least. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm not.

Sorry for the bad writing by the way. I should proof read more.

Anybody in here a pathologist or a resident of pathology?
I'm currently a forensic tech at a medical examiner's office. Med school still isn't entirely off the table. I'd only want to be a surgeon or a forensic pathologist though. I like the intellectual challenge but I also like working with my hands, not enough to be a tech forever though.
If not medicine, I'll most likely get back into health information systems as a system analyst. Currently only have a BS in Biology but I could go back to my old hospital and get a 68k job pretty easily in a pretty cheap city.

Currently year 2 in vet medicine

That's not bad money for a bachelors. The. X years you would be working no pay plus debt, a doctor would only come out ahead of you by the time their in 40s
