I went to a new doctor two weeks ago. He took gloves from the box and threw them directly in the trash. He then said, “oh, I think I forgot to examine you.” And then walked out of the room

I’ve been to the derm one time for a skin check. He glanced at me for 3 seconds top & then said “all good” and left. Then I got a bill for it 🙄

My dermatologist laughed at me when I asked if my psoriasis had been caused by a food allergy. I literally just said aight imma head out cause I knew it was pointless at that point.

Sadly, I think this is going to happen more and more as medical offices are short staffed and poorly trained.

You could have also checked your insurance records. Apparently, we all need to have this info at our fingertips.

My allergist is incredible. She listens, shares her thoughts but lets me make a decision, helps me find solutions that work for me. That’s kinda the basics but it’s become so hard to find lately
