There are a lot of things I hate about how doctors treat you but I think the one that makes me most *mad* is when doctor A refers you to doctor B, and you show up at doctor B, and they ask you about some result or other, and you say "doctor A has that" and they're like "we didn't get a copy"

If I was supposed to carry the health data with me why didn't doctor A give it to me

Anyway this is especially great because almost all doctors have no way of engaging with you other than "get an appointment, wait two months, they see you for 20 minutes" so if that result from the other doctor was actually important that boosts any kind of outcome out by another two month cycle. Hope you weren't having like, an ongoing health problem you needed resolution on or anything.

@mcc i've got this theory that the healthcare system mostly exists to congratulate healthy people for being so healthy. they get so confused when an unhealthy person shows up

@aeva @mcc as a healthy person, I concur.

@aeva @mcc if they don’t get confused, it’s because they fail to recognize the health problem and congratulate anyway
