Doctors

I don’t understand how a doctor can prescribe medicine to a patient without ever discussing it with the patient, without explaining what’s wrong, without explaining why it is important to address, without explaining follow-up after taking the medicine, without anything at all. How is that okay? And how does that make someone feel comfortable with and confident in the current medical system?

And why did the nurse have to be so unhelpful and, even, insulting when I asked for clarification on things? (Slash why did a nurse have to respond to my query that was placed directly to the doctor? I hired the doctor because I like the doctor and she gives me competence and comfort. The nurse had nothing to do with it. And the nurse, frankly, is causing me not to want to use the doctor ever again. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so dirty and like a bad person the way she made me feel today.)

So, that all sucks.

God, guide me on all of this, please. Show me your way. In your name, I pray. Amen.
