Lets play doctors!

Sometimes I just can't believe in the incompetence of people.

I went to see a (new) doctor today, since my family doctor is on vacations, and, like in most hospitals in Portugal, I waited a few hours to get an appointement with this new doctor. Well, I'm used to it, so I didn't mind (much). Because I would finally know what's wrong, right?

I walked in her office, and she asked what brought me there. I quickly explained my situation, and she said "Well, that might just be a tumor". I stared, and asked her to at least take a look! She analyzed me for what, 10 seconds? Afterwards she said "Yeah, maybe. Just go on and do some Eco's and Xrays, and show them to your real doctor when she gets back". And she told me the session was over.

I asked her "well I already knew it could be a tumor, but can you at least tell me what YOU think it is, a bad tumor, a good tumor, what?" And she gave me this look like she was thinking "How am I supposed to know?". SHE'S A FUCKIN DOCTOR!! She said absolutely nothing. Zero. Gave me a piece of paper and sent me away.

Afterwards I had to pay to see a private doctor who actually was able to give me a REAL diagnostic, and the session DID took more that a minute and a half. God damn it, what's wrong with these new doctors? They simply don't care, at all. That woman really pissed me off.
I'm more relaxed now, hurray for money-sucking doctors whose money makes them care.
