Why I like my doctor....

Tweet

As most of you know I haven't been well. I am doing a lot better tonight but still not 100% yet. Only symptoms now are some coughing, ears still a bit full but better and voice still bit screechy but I can at least talk now. I couldn't talk before. My friend took me to the doctor I like on Thursday. I prefer to see her than any other doctor. When I first got sick I went to the doctors around the corner from me because it was more convenient. All he did was check my throat, told me I had a bacterial infection and said I didn't need any tablets. Few days later I was worse, I was almost deaf, had no voice and felt so awful. Went back to the doctors around the corner from me. This one looked at my throat, one ear and checked me out with her stethoscope. Told me I needed antibiotics. Which was weird because first doctor told me I needed nothing. And now the reasons why I like my doctor. I saw her, she listened to my story. She checked my temperature, looked down my throat as well as feeling around my throat, looked in both ears, checked me with stethoscope, showed me a picture of what was going on with my ears and explained why I am feeling deaf, swabbed my nose and my throat to send to the lab to make sure this isn't anything too serious. And she chatted with me to see how I was doing otherwise. I admire doctors. I do. But the ones around the corner from me, I swear they do not do thorough checks and have misdiagnosed me on multiple occasions. They are also half the reason why my gallbladder was not taken seriously. They would only give me some information about my tests in the past instead of all of it and would test me out the slowest ways possible. One test at a time. And sometimes no tests with advice like "Do this for 2 weeks then come back to me." Which made it a long process on figuring out what was going on and how to fix it. They don't sound sympathetic or give the feeling they even want you there. But the doctor I see is just so sympathetic and compassionate. Gives great advice and does multiple tests in one go because she is determined to find out what's wrong and get the ball rolling on trying to fix it. She is amazing. Have you ever had negative experiences with a doctor? Or positive?
