Whenever my doctor misdiagnoses me and/or insists that everything is fine despite my issues, at least I can reassure myself by saying "Well of *course* they have no idea what's going on with me. They aren't a *genie* doctor."

@Phorm It kinda sounds like you need a new doctor.

@trouffee Honestly, after this last debacle (which is patently ridiculous) that's exactly what I'm getting.

@Phorm @trouffee

Good for you on refusing to accept shoddy care!

@StormyDragon @trouffee It sucks we have to fight for it, but it's necessary. And thank you!

@Phorm @trouffee Just for comparison, it took me like FOUR -- and that's discounting the outright inept ones I bailed on pretty quickly -- doctors to start being taken even remotely seriously about my ADD and fatigue issues... Keep pushing, and best of luck!

@Phorm @trouffee Good plan.

FWIW I am a zebra (if you don't know this term I suspect you're about to) and it took...5 years. :/

Good news is once they found the thing hey two weeks later I felt amazing?

@doephin @Phorm @trouffee

As in "when you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras"?

Except, of course, the zebras *are* out there and need to be recognized and properly cared for too. 💜

@Phorm New doctor time! Remember, you’re a chick now, and you do not put up with shitty care.

@V_Mags_Fox This is a good reminder!! Thank you, friend. I absolutely should keep that conviction close.

@V_Mags_Fox @Phorm

I did not expect such powerful gender affirmation out of such a sh... situation, you're GOOD. :O
