Doctor Scolding

I remember back when I was 12 years old that my mother took me to a different hospital, one from a different city, to get a different opinion about my health condition.
The doctors at our city only said that I was only low on iron; hence, seeking outside from our city because the ones in our city weren't really that helpful.
The doctor at Cebu City, Philippines, made me get my heart checked out. It was at that time that we found out the inherited mitral valve prolapse.
We went to have an appointment with her the next day, and we were hoping on getting some medicine from her.
Instead of giving me medicine she just ended up giving me a full lecture on how I failed to take care of myself. Now, whenever I look back the full lecture was actually a full scolding. I didn't even get any medicine prescribed.
Hence, the existence of Doctor Scolding in my memory core.

OH MY! this is kind of awkward

I tend to avoid anual check-ups for that very reason.

It's not easy when you're hoping for help and understanding but end up feeling scolded instead.

@HaruLoid It's so important for doctors to provide support and understanding, especially when we're feeling vulnerable. I'm sorry you had to go through that. Hopefully, your future experiences with doctors will be much more positive and encouraging.

@annierose That's true. I do hope that no doctors would make their patients feel the way I felt when the doctor scolded me.

This doctor is not a good doctor, I think I will choose other doctors to treat me

@HaruLoid correct. they act really entitled and what i don't like they all treat us in general, according to our age and not what we are saying and then they say, they have so many patients. i get that butthey are not doing that for free.
