becky is angreh about things
Day 08 → Someone who made your life hell, or treated you like shit.
MDs, not a fan. it's taken me quite some time to come to grips with this. i've written a post about it before but this is more of a general angry letter to all of em. assholes. not you, i'm sure you're just a fine doctor who listens and keeps up with your CE and is willing to learn and change and grow. i'm sure you're just like dr cox on scrubs. of course i'm not talking about you!
i know, i know, doctors SAVE LIVES and ARE AWESOME and WE LOVE DOCTORS THEY'RE LIKE TEH MOSTEST SMARTEST PEOPLE EVER!
that? that right there is the problem. doctors are people. people are dumb. therefore, doctors are dumb just like people. there, i said it. infallible logic. don't try to fall it, you can't, it's infallible. the problem with the general population thinking doctors are unquestionable is that then doctors begin to believe them. therein lies the slippery slope. think about it. i'm not dismissing the good doctors or the good things doctors do. i'm calling into question the blind faith people put in doctors. i'm asking you to ask questions and be a part of your own solution. (holy jesus, i'm living in a van down by the river).
personally, i lost my faith in doctors long ago. i've had way too much doctor exposure. i cannot say that all my exposure has been unnecessary but i do believe that overexposure set me up to be personally violated by the medical community. i was dismissed wholeheartedly when i lost all of my hair senior year of high school. i've been condescended on countless occasions as an adult. finally, i was molested when i was a very small child.
that one "medical" act has affected and colored my every experience and put me on the defense. that doctor did a very unnecessary vaginal exam on a six year old girl who didn't know any better because he knew he would get away with it.
i am unable to list the infinite number of problems with the medical model i see today. i am skeptical of almost everything that is released by the medical community. i cannot, of course, dismiss the entire medical community. there are some good 'uns. i would totally believe anything jd said.

I'm so sorry to hear that happened to you. What a fucking dick! (pardon my language but it's true).
I hate doctors too. Especially that one. Fuck him. Air punch! :)
Dr. Cox would be ashamed of his profession if he knew.
I'm appalled and sad to hear that happened to you. Doctors suck. After this last year I have all but given up on them. So many are undeserving of the faith people put in them. You're one tough chick. Xo
That sucks, dude. You want us to find that assjacket and key his car with his teeth?
Sorry for what you have been through. I hate doctors too!!!
No words other than to say sorry it happened to you and it's shocking that people in positions of trust can be sick like that.
Yikes! I completely understand why you would feel that way. I swear there needs to be higher standards or we should give them truth serum every 30 days.
Is this why you go to the vet for your check ups now?
becky that is HORRIBLE. and i hate to say it but i totally agree with you about doctors in general. i can't think of a truly "good" doctor i've had. i've actually had more success diagnosing myself in many situations. not to harp on the bad stuff but i totally had a childhood pediatrician who would straddle my leg and rub his crotch on me while he was doing part of his exam. every.single.time. i never told my mom but i always knew what he did was wrong. i didnt want to cause trouble so i kept my mouth shut. i only wish i had said something bc i know i couldnt have been the only one it happened to. maybe i could have had his license revoked or at least had his ass fined or something. it only took me 20-some years to talk about this. anyway thanks for sharing. you are awesome, as always.
That is truly awful! That guy needs to have his nuts stuck in a blender.
Having said that, I've had some really good experiences with doctors recently. On the balance, back in NYC I had a doctor who didn't really give a shit about anything except getting you to take more drugs so you know...balances.
That douchecanoe that did that should be de-balled.
One time, I switched jobs, and my insurance should have been continuous, but the insurance company screwed up, so when my butt hurt a lot and was bleeding a little when I pooped, I went to the medical center, and they told me I had to spend a lot of money because my insurance wasn't valid, even though I knew it was but it was a Saturday and I couldn't do anything about it, so I cried because my butt hurt a lot and I was poor because I was 22 and had just moved to that city, but I paid my $100 and they told the doctor I was unreasonable and she was mean and those fucking nurses laughed at me. I mean, for real laughed at me. And the only thing that makes me feel better is that they're stuck at fucking Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, Calif. because they're assholes.
oh sweetie, I'm sorry your doctor experience was so awful! I'm not going to try to change your mind either. I agree. some doctors are good and some are bad, just like everyone else on the planet.
plus? your infallible joke? pure gold.
