Heartbreaking healthcare with little human compassion

Never a pleasant experience coming here. It genuinely triggers anxiety for me. Recently, a locum actually listened to me, leaving me in tears because I was stunned that someone took the time to genuinely care. Unfortunately, her efforts were futile as a different staff member dismissed me during the subsequent visit, despite identified issues and multiple symptoms. Picture living with an autoimmune condition where you're restricted to discussing only one symptom and feel terrified of seeking medical help due to the treatment. Consider how many years it takes to receive a proper diagnosis. They discourage natural remedies, yet realistically, patients have no alternative. I wouldn't want their prescribed treatments anyway. If you need a routine procedure like a vaccination, they'll process you quickly without any human connection. Once, I encountered a female doctor so unexpectedly pleasant that I questioned my previous perceptions. Had I misjudged earlier experiences? No - she was simply completing a performance evaluation form. Another time, I discovered a breast lump, but the doctor assumed I was there for stomach-related follow-up. Being timid, I let her continue until briefly mentioning the lump. Her response was abrupt: I could only address one issue, huffily instructing me to quickly get on the examination table. The lump was apparently an inconvenience for her, adding extra work. The only time I felt comfortable visiting was when Dr. Kaz, initially a locum, was present. Ultimately, it's purely about financial transactions. Nothing more.
