What else should we add to the list? Any other ways you've been able to succesfully wade through (needless) challenges in the search of healthcare? 😢

Dear Dr Sylvia I wish you could be my GP ! I think these days finding doctor who actually care is like lottery ! I went to see one who is specialist in woman health when I told her how I feel and all my symptoms there was awkward silence like she doesn't know or want to say anything , I left thinking like I'm crazy and totally helpless , I agree with getting second opinion but it takes so long to see anyone that to see another doctor feels like impossible thing to do !

Thank you ! 💛I hope you find the listening ear and understanding you deserve in a doctor real soon. We are many out there, I assure you.
