I’m sorry to be a patient

The most derogatory thing about being a patient is the fact that I have to apologize to someone for it. As if, at the very least, it’s a pleasure for me:D Situations that in any other industry would not happen in hospitals, clinics, outpatient clinics are the order of the day. Since when does a provider (because yes, we patients collect benefits) have to ask a provider to perform a given service?
OF COURSE, NOT EVERYONE IS LIKE THAT
I have met wonderful doctors/doctors, nurses/nurses or medical registrars/registrars on my way. There are many wonderful specialists who practice their profession by vocation and, in addition to a wealth of knowledge, also have a pleasant disposition. However… based on my experience, a significant number of “big” heads make you pay for their knowledge by putting up with rudeness. Why…?
Children’s Health Center
Probably if I hadn’t interacted with hospitals since birth I would have a different perspective. But through (or really thanks to) the initial care at CZD, I know it can look different. Sure, CZD isn’t a “typical” hospital either, but I don’t know if the staff’s approach to the patient (or in this case, the parents) is determined by the funding the hospital has. What a big surprise it was for me when I switched to the first adult hospital….
The worst doctor you can come across
I’ve been procrastinating this post for so long until I can write it without stirring up unnecessary negativity. I simply ended up (in my “probably” not objective opinion) with a lousy doctor and a terrible person. Leaving CZD, I had a creatinine of 1.7 and a 13 year old kidney, within 5 years in an adult hospital I started dialysis. Going forward-did I contribute to this? CLEAR. Despite my deteriorating results, was I not once put in the hospital to seek additional help? WELL, OF COURSE I DID.
Taking a factual approach to the subject:
Your doctor should not pour negative emotions that he or she has experienced outside of your visit onto you
You should be treated subjectively
You shouldn’t be afraid to ask questions about your health status/further treatment procedures/….
You should not feel apprehensive about talking to a doctor
The ailments you present should not be ignored
You are not obliged to know all medical terms
You don’t have to put up with mistreatment
What’s the bottom line at the end of the day? You have the right to change your attending physician. You can ask at the registration of a particular clinic to whom to apply in this case:)
The patient-doctor relationship should be based on trust and empathy. The doctor is a specialist in medical knowledge, you are a specialist in your body. Your health will not be in good hands with an undereducated doctor, for that even the best professor will not be able to help you if you are not honest with him.
Take care,
