For those fellow readers who suffer from any misdiagnosed or undiagnosed ailment, you will understand what I am talking about. Even those who struggle to pay medical costs when but figure out a way because they urgently need to be seen.

Doctors simply do not care. Sure it may seem like they do, however, you are basically just another penny going into their pocket or another name on their chart.

As we progress with technology, our doctors are not as hands-on as they were in the older days. The sense of family has been removed from the practice. I remember as a child my pediatrician would take the time to understand me and my hectic life. He would gather all my symptoms and diagnose me based on how I felt.

Nowadays, they just say the first thing to come to mind and send you on your way with another prescription, which in my case is pointless for there is a ninety percent chance of my body having a reaction to it, and yes my doctors know the probability. Nowadays, they just tell you to take it easy and do not help you progress in your daily activities.

I just do not have the tolerance for doctor's who will not try to work with you. I wish we were not just another name on their chart or another number in their book. I suffer way too much pain, most days I struggle to function, yet no one cares to look beneath the surface and figure out how to stop it. I physically cannot live the same life I did just a mere two years ago and I hate it. However, financially, I need my job. Even though it is hard and includes strenuous activity, I love what I do and wish I could do even more for my work family.

For those who also struggle with underlying circumstances, I will say, find a physicians assistant or nurse practitioner. I found one who is the most caring human I have met in the medical field. They will take the time to access your needs and find ways to help you cope. You will not just be another number in their chart.

So, remember, just keep pushing on. Doctors aren't always what they are cracked up to be and I honestly hate saying that. Don't let one or two get you down. Keep pushing to find someone who will show a caring attitude and give you the best treatment you can receive.
