My experiences with doctors has been bad too. Most thought I was a hypochondriac, and too young for so and so condition. None of them helped me with my horrendous periods or the migraines. I've had terrible joint pain since my 20s, but I'm too young for joint pain. I must be a drug seeker.
I'll remind myself of that when I can't grasp for all the pain, I'm walking around like a stiff little old lady and my husband is looking at me incredulously because I'm hobbling down the stairs one at a time.

My regular doc (he is the only doc I can stand) found a golf ball size something in my abdomen during my annual pap and pelvic. He sent me to OB/GYN. OB/GYN decided that I was too young to have a tumor. So, he took a very long, painful needle and shot "it" full of steroids. I refused to go back.
I was at my regular doc a year later, and he says, "I thought we took care of this?" I told him what happened at the OB/GYN, and he sent me to the surgeon ASAP. Low and behold I had a golf ball size endometrial TUMOR!!! It's a good thing it wasn't cancer.
IDIOTS!!! I hate doctors.!!!

I know they are not all bad but it seems that some of us just get the bad ones!

I can so relate to that.

Those are very common with women in child bearing age. That's why I had to have a hysterectomy when I was only 35. I had tons of them and huge ones. I looked like I was 6 months pregnant since they were so large.

I think the key is to avoid doctors at all costs. A friend of mine once said that the only reason that he would ever go to the doctor was if something was coming out of him. I laughed (and was grossed out) at the time, but he actually had a good point.
I've had decent experiences with some of them, mainly with pediatricians and obgyns (with two award winning exceptions).
I'm neutral on internists and dentists, the two rheumatologists that I have seen were ok, although completely the wrong specialty for me to be seeing at the time.
Besides the one who left me awake and paralyzed during a GA (he being in a category of his own:devilish:) I have had neutral experiences with anesthetists(special mention goes to the dream boat I had at the birth of my daughter, what a fantastic person he was:inlove:).
Psychiatrists, well, I've learned to avoid them like the plague; they have just been complete f*cking nightmares for me. No ability to definitively diagnose + insurance and pharmaceutical companies abuse + weird hang ups of their own = an effect that was similar to shutting my central nervous system down. They're not that bad I suppose if you view them strictly as prescription dispensers, although internists are just as good for that.
The othopedists I have seen have mostly been assholes(not you Dr Greisman!), but at least were usually in such a rush that I never had to spend much time with them. They have been the doctors for me whose waiting rooms had the most hang time and worst magazine selection, so I learned to bring my own.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that in my overall experience the doctors I saw in the US are more polite and professional than the ones I have seen in the UK. More than a few doctors that I have seen here have had some serious telephone poles up their asses. For better service I go private, although that's been by no means a guarantee.
Well that was nice to get off my chest. Don't mind my chatter.:rolleyes:

Your chatter is fine by me Eat!
I had a bad experience with my OBGYN when I was pregnant. He asked me to strip off and go behind a screen, he then came in squeezed my boobs, pushed on my tummy and then did a quick and abusive internal that nearly made me shoot off the bed! All off this was totally unnecessary and I was in a state of shock for days. I found out he did the same to my sister. Dirty, sick old man! I didn't have the strength back then to say 'no' and now I don't even go for a smear test because it scares me so much.
I've had nice treatment though. The young, male doctor who delivered my second son was a sweetie.

Cath go and see your practice nurse, explain why you struggle, and let her help you through this.
I have always had a women when ever needed, and by going regularly, they caught what could have become an issue eventually. OK not good I know, but an out patient appointment was booked and it was all done and finished with in 20 mins. That is from walking in, having procedure done and walking back out again, to carry on, with no worry of anything escalating.
So try and talk to some one who you trust about this Cath, if possible.
We will hold your hand all the way if needed.
