How horrible of an experience and what an isolating and "never reach out for help again on our time!" message did you get. Lack of compassion and true understanding is what comes to mind :(, hurts my heart every time I hear another story of ignorance about the pain that drives us.
I know right you are, in this wave of those that do not get it, there are those that shine so bright and GET IT with the reaction of the sense of somebody I always hoped would. With Outrage! My tdoc, usually the epitome of cool, calm, and reasonable logic itself starts shaking her head, concern in her eyes, snapping back the comments wanting to bubble over until I'm done waiting for feedback. Let's it be known, when it comes to the lack of a treatment or incorrect treatment, the dismissal of my reaching out for help, she is not only concerned by the authorities but mostly by the trained professionals that have always been a part of my life.
Unfortunately, in the public and in the private arena the main concern's name is LIABILITY. I've understood this but when at my worst I did expect a little more compassion with that bill.
Here, to me, it's strength in numbers, information, care, concern, and experience.
