TY. And may i vent? i don't know why it is that some people ignore pain

I am a hypochondriac. I get a gas pain and think my appendix is going to burst. I am in no danger, I think, of facing stage four cancer just like *snap* that.

WHY do people ignore pain! And then when she finally went to the doc for this pain in her shoulder, he prescribed PHYSICAL THERAPY. :banghead: Fucking HMO bastard pieces of shit!

5. my mom saw many dismissive doctors before her thyroid cancer was diagnosed

I will always be grateful to Dr Guiliano for taking that lump in her neck seriously.

:hug:

7. Some Dr's are good at dismissing ..

my Mother's cancer went undiagnosed until it was too late. He just kept pumping her full of pills, we insisted she see another Dr. As I said it was too late.
