I went to a woman doctor after my husband died....I could't sleep - eat or function & was breaking down in public the few times I went out. She was terrible...she was coldhearted and acted like I needed to suck it up and prescribed a freaking antihistimine to sleep on ! OMG I was bouncing off the walls .....I called her back 2 days later after I looked up what she gave me and asked her WHY would she prescribe something that wired me - I was sooooo exhausted from all the crying and sadness & that stuff made it so much worse - she told me to get unisom over the counter.
Can we say 'beoytch"?????
I ended up spending MORE money I didn't have to see a DIFFERENT doctor I used to go to when I worked and had insurance. she was great...she GAVE me a whole free months supply of Lunesta and a prescription to get me thru the nights plus did a sliding scale fee ....
so sorry this is so long - but it shows me it really depends on the DOCTOR - I can't say women Dr.'s are more compassionate than men though you'd think they would be wouldn't you ? |
