Z has been ill for quite some time & yesterday we convinced her to go for a check-up. We searched for a new doctor, but even this one turned out to be a character. The 1st thing she said to Z was…’But you don’t look sick at all.’ I think doctors ought to have the courtesy to at least believe what the patient is saying.
Anyhow, Z wanted me to tell her everything & again she had a problem with it. She was unprofessional enough to tell us that most of the models that come to her are all cracked. Since she herself was on a diet, she presumed that Z & I were also depriving ourselves. She also asked Z to have a couple of tests & then she also asked me to have one particular test. Although at no point, I said anything about myself, but she was adamant that I have lost weight due to crash diet. I have no fucking idea as to what diet is & she has never seen me eating when I’m really hungry. All I can say is that people like me can never diet as it makes hungry. Even when I was healthy, I didn’t think of it. But yes people had problem with my weight even then.
She also said that there must be some deficiency in us as we are so weak. My mom was also showering unnecessary affection on Z as she’s the youngest one & that was annoying. For a long time when I wasn’t friends with Z as she was a kid, I thought she was the apple of the eye. Everyone projected that kind of image & I believed it, but it was so not true. I made the discovery when we became friends. Although Z has her breakfast almost every day, but ammi said that she doesn’t eat anything in the morning.
Over all, it was a pathetic experience. It seems all doctors are inhuman. She was definitely not any different from that doctor who has issues with me & my cats. Which reminds me that I know 4 vets & they are far better doctors even though we don’t have proper equipments & facilities in
I also have encountered a couple of other weird doctors who couldn’t help imposing their own views on patients, besides bitching about some unknown patient. Right now I’m not in the mood to narrate their stories. If you don’t happen to be like such humans, then you must have experienced something of the sort. I have even heard that some doctors call mentally ill people pagal. This speaks highly about them & how unprofessional they are. In order to reach your patient, you must 1st believe in him & then try to understand his problem rather than passing judgment or imposing abhorrent & irrelevant views.
