My assumptions were right..the doctor said and I quote.." Gosh I don't know what that is"
He asked if there was some trauma to the area..ahhh nope...
asked if I had diarrhea...ahh wtf? still nope
And frankly said it MAY be just a skin infection..
Dude I hope you know that for sure..he did do a culture..scraping my already tender and red area and while doing so says" I bet this hurts huh?"
Ya think dumb ass...
This Dr. spent more time typing on the stupid computer than examining his patient.
So $30 later and a bottle of some random antibiotic there ya go..
Diagnosis.."Dunno!"
He also said "If it is not gone in 2 days, come knocking back at our door!"
What the fuck for dude? So you can then try to give me some more antibiotic that you think I want and try to send me on my merry way?
I dunno, I totally thought that perhaps they would do an ultra sound, hell even an xray to see in more depth..because I told the Dr. that I had abdominal pain since Sunday..and he could also tell by my whining like a infant when he pushed down on my belly a thousand times.
Also the thing on my neck..the little gland, or lymph node or whatever the hell it is..he felt it with the tip if his index finger for like one micro-second and said "Ehh..its nothing, its not related,"
And people wonder why I didn't go to the doctor for my broken finger...This Dr. was nice and quite friendly and I only hope he had the very best intentions..really..but c'mon it was almost the end of his work day I was one of the last patients..(you see where I am going with this?)
Personally I have not had the most pleasant experiences with doctors..is it just coincidence that I always get the run of the mill diagnostics..like this for example..
Perhaps I am just a snobbish bitch and think I can treat ailments at home like I do most of the time...ahh well
It was so lame..like all these people are on a conveyor belt going in like zombies with whatever issue and coming out with prescriptions for the 'cure all antibiotic'. No thanks...
So here I am..broken finger, sprang wrist, weird crap with my scar and like it couldn't get any worse..the underwire from my bra came out and sliced my boob...
Ahhh isn't life grand!
Mama needs vodka..end of story...

I think you just have a really crappy doctor. I can't stand most of the doctor's at the general practice place we go to, but found that the nurse practitioners were MUCH more willing to REALLY listen to me and investigate. I see them now and they only call in the Dr. if they think it's super serious. The doctor's always acted like they barely had enough time to see you.
Oh brother. "a skin infection"??? From what???? And just because the bump isn't "related" he can't be bothered? I know you've heard this before, but can you get a 2nd opinion? We just really need to manage our own healthcare these days - follow your (oozing) gut.
Alice- This was the first time I ever saw this doctor..I have had to pick several because they keep retiring or moving or something..I agree about the nurses..the one that checked me in was very kind and asked more questions than the dr. did...
Sue-We do indeed need to take matters in our own hands..I have treated plenty of things at home instead of paying an arm and a leg to get the "oh its nothing" crap. We are definetly going to a holistic doctor next time..to see if that works out better.. :)
