Back in the early 1980’s I was complaining to my doctor about back pain. Accused me in front of my father of wanting drugs. Woke up one night and couldn’t use the restroom. My urethra was restricted. Had surgery and great ever since. My urologist said my GP was liable, but I never pursued.

My point to people is YOU’RE the doctor. If they dismiss what you’re feeling or can’t help find a solution, find a new one.

That's so true. Doctors are very pressed for time and seem to really push the one size fits all cookie cutter diagnosis.

You really have to be an advocate for your own health and do research and get second opinions if needed because they are not infallible.

Nobody else is going to do it for you.
