Problems We Have Experienced With Physicans

[Sazza]

Psychiatrists, well, I've learned to avoid them like the plague; they have just been complete f**king 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.

Eat i so agree on this score, to me i actually think psychiatrists play more mind games with us than anyone else. I don't trust them at all, then again i have very little trust for anyone at the moment i think they all have alterior motives. They say they want your best interests but its just words then again i am very mistrusting after certain things understanadbly so.

I find it shocking to read peoples experiences, i find it infuritating as to why some professionals actually do the job. Then again its no excuse but time constraints can play a huge part, i also think anyone working in such a field gets rather demoralised by red tape and changes etc.

I went to my gp the other day and was dreading the response as i have been a bit uncooperative of late due to my mistrust with other professionals. I expected a frosty response but once again she restored my faith, i wonder if it will last though but there are some genuine good people out there, shame they are few and far in between.

Sorry just seen whole load of other replies to this thread. Cath that is unacceptable and understandble you feel the way you do. I can partly relate to the not having a smear, i will not go for one. Its not because of a professionals actions but because of the whole process etc being triggering for me. I agree with what has been said a gentle chat with your practice nurse, little by little they may be able to help you through it.

Shall we both tackle it together? maybe we can both overcome the barriers stopping us from facing those dreaded smears.

I had one after my last son was born 18 years ago and I definitely think it was the OBGYN who scared me out of having them, and laziness!

You wanna beat this Sazza, I'll join you in the challenge!

Hey you go for it Cath and Sazza. Work through this one, taking each step one at a time, standing side by side.

It's been 20 years since I had to have those thank goodness. I sure don't miss it.

 

[CraftyCath]

Can you stop haven't them at a certain age Sandra?

 

[Sandra]

I was 35 when I had the hysterectomy so wasn't needed after that. And I was 43 when the ovaries were removed. Not sure if a female is still intact.

 

[amethist]

After you turn 50 Cath, changes to other bits that need checking.

 

[CraftyCath]

I'm just clutching at straws trying to crawl out of it as usual! I suppose I should face the fire. Fear has to be faced to be overcome. (Listen to yourself Cath, you can do this).

 

[Sandra]

Probably makes a difference as well if the female is into or past menopause as well I wouldn't doubt.

 

[Sazza]

Cath don't be so hard on yourself it isn't surprising you don't want face fear. I have at the age of 31 never had one and don't know if ever will at this rate. Maybe we should both take the step of at least talking to someone about it. I think I may book an
Appointment with nurse rather than doctor for bp check And discuss this at same time. I have thought about making appt and just trying be brave but don't want feel Backed in corner and get there and then feel Unable say can't go through it and waste there time.
