ok so i was in the ER on wednesday for severe pain in my lower abdomin which the ER doc explained as come of the cysts on my ovary popping open which they’re supposed to do, just not all at once which is why it hurt so bad

well i went in for my follow up with the gyno this morning and it’s not my regular doc and it’s a guy, so the conversation goes like this "ok can you tell me what happened" and i give him the whole story and then he gives me a pelvic exam and finds that special sweet spot that still hurts if i move wrong and then tells me that there’s some swelling and that i shouldn’t take the meds from the ER doc for the pain and that i should ignore everything he said because he doesn’t know and that the pain never came from my cysts, yet i have witnesses to the fact that i was in so much pain i couldn’t stand up straight.

so now i feel like i’ve been called a liar and an idiot and it doesn’t sit well with me especially when it comes from a doctor who laughed at me and really didn’t take the time to listen to me. maybe i’m just expecting too much from the people who are supposed to be smarter than me but maybe really they aren’t. i don’t know.
