What's going to the Dr look like where you're from.
Does it usually help or do you leave confused and frightened like me?
How close to death do you gotta be in your state to get help?
there's universal healthcare where i live, people bellyache about the wait times, but they're wrong because realistically spending a day in a waiting room every few years is a small price to pay for everyone having access to quality medical treatment. its still a b to navigate the medical system though, bureaucracy and egos.
The process of getting to a physician you trust and a helpful diagnosis can be grueling and like you said, scary and depressing. But when im sick or hurt i feel that everything is kind of shit no matter what, so i try not to trip on the system.
I only go for emergencies or when i need bloodwork for something like a tic bite.
my heart goes out to anyone with ongoing health problems, naving the system all the time would be exhausting and caude a lot of anxiety.
