Thank you so much. Gonna try not to cuss this doctor.

Why do we have to do this? Why are doctors so strict and obstinate? Why wouldn't they go out of their way to find answers for you? Why are patients such an inconvenience to them? I don't understand but these are the only types of doctors I have had. They told me to go home and stop being anxious but I feel like that is an insult to my intelligence and self-awareness. I still have issues that I am dealing with 2 years later and some have gotten markedly worse. I hate it here.
