Discussion Ubiquity of dismissing doctors

[Cryptonite]

If you are suffering from any kind of chronic physical or mental disease, chances are that doctors are misinformed about your condition and dismiss your symptoms.

I still haven't found out where does this ubiquitous ignorance and general lack of empathy come from. Do you have a clue?

tbf to the medical/science society as a whole, youre asking them to study something that they for the most part dont experience themselves and the people that do experience it would rather shit on them for not knowing rather then saying no thats not how i feel.
tbf to depressed people docs need to get off their damn high horse because what i said about the docs not experiencing depression counts here to. just because you have a pretty piece of paper that says you passed a test doesnt make you the smartest all knowing person in the world.
the problem with the medical/science society is no one is listening or talking to each other. the problem is not just the doctors.

They are hopelessly arrogant and think they know everything. They gave me the wrong medications for 16 years which Is a big part of me doing this. I don't recommend coming off the meds cold turkey though...don't do that, withdrawal is definitely real, but if you've never gone down the route of doctors try exercise meditation anything rather than doctors as the god complex is a very real phenomenon

Ctb is for me, but it's not for everyone. :-)

The onces i saw disregarded any and all health issues i had growing up on ''being fat'', constantly just telling me to shut up and loose weight. 10 years after becoming a slim athletic boi, none of the issues that were supposedly due to being fat have got better or disappeared, they kinda just stopped caring about it and just have me do blood test here and there in the hopes i'll shut up.

Doctors are human beings and they come in all shapes and sizes… Some are sensitive… Some are not sensitive… In many cases medicine is more art and science… Psychiatry and psychology even more than mainstream medical… We want to trust these people sometimes they help and sometimes they don't… I had 20 or 30 years of weekly Psychiatric visits and still here I am

It's the character flaw of not knowing what you don't know. Doctors are clearly top heavy when it comes to their awareness of how systems interact and their mythical status in public perception feeds their ignorance. Unfortunately most people don't begin to question it until it's too late and damage has been done.
