Dr.'s That Suck

During this time, I went to my gynecologist (we’ll call him Dr. Clueless) and told him what I was experiencing. He had no idea what was wrong and mostly had the attitude of “you need to toughen up” or “it’s all in your head”. He would try to give me my yearly exam and I would bawl throughout the whole thing.  It was very traumatic.

Finally, at one of my appointments, Dr. Clueless was out of the room and a physician’s assistant was in the room with me. She told me that I should come make an appointment with another Dr. she had been working with – who specializes in pelvic pain. (I have never been more pissed off at a Dr. when I realized that Dr. Clueless is colleagues and works in the same office as this man who specializes in pelvic pain and he never thought to refer me to him when he didn’t know what the hell was going on with me. It would have saved me a year of pain and wondering what the crap was wrong with me if he’d been a decent person and referred me.)
