Receiving Help in Healthcare: Share Your Experience

I had Crohn's Disease for 23 years before anyone would listen to me, even my parents. I eventually got Erythema Nodosum which was finally a big enough red flag for someone to actually check, even though one doctor waved that off to being "infected bug bites". When I returned to her later for another issue, she asked "are you happy now that you have crohn's?".... I don't feel like any of my doctors care about me. They just run their tests, prescribe medicine, then refer you on to someone else when their medication of choice doesn't work.

I have had doctors turn me away ever since I was a kid. It feels rare when a doctor actually tries to help without saying it's my weight or thinking that I'm faking.

Non existent nobody seems to want to help me. So I just suffer.

I’ve had amazing experiences and also terrible experiences. I’ve def been mistreated unfortunately but know which hospitals are least likely to do so now
