I'm now just using one MD against the other, for example today my cardiologist nearly died the same way I did when she heard the extremely high amount of potassium recommended to be taken on a daily basis to help bring up a minor deficiency (I ignored my new pcp and as per usual was my own doctor)
Informed consent should be an absolute minimum with unexpected, in-consultation procedures.
I've experienced an absence of this before and, on one occasion, no consent of any kind.
Arseholes like the two I encountered really taint the medical profession.
Hope the anal fissure fairy visits them.
I now no longer get offered the PA at our surgery. He heard my underlying conditions, blanched, listened to (& looked up) my past treatment, told me he'd replicate. Dispensary handed me a normal human dose. 😩 Complained. He said he'd not offered higher dose.
Pharmacist got it sorted in minutes. 🤷😵💫
Like, if you can't prescribe higher doses, you shouldn't be seeing chronically ill patients. I'll wait while you get a GP to sign for it, like the nurse does. But don't lie!
I'm not ending up in hospital just b/c you can't give me horse quantities of antibiotics. 🤷Did he think I'd not notice?!
I called the last one a racist able-ist who hates poor people, to her face. And told her the day she cut my flesh it would have to be in jail with two big cons holding me down. Doctors need attitude-checks
The very next doctor treated me with so much respect it was like the previous visit never happened. Poor people who aren't dressed right also develop hernias. Dragon Lady's replacement fixed it where it hasn't come back. All's well that ends well
I got kicked out from a practice because I made the phone staff feel bad. They felt bad because they had to enforce absurd policies rather than prioritize patient needs. It never occurred to them that was the problem. Anything less than docility is not ok.
