Do all docs suck?
I went to a doc I've never heard of before since for the past 2 days I've had a sore throat (no other symptoms at all) and today found white spots in the back of my throat. I went to the doctor and after gagging on the popsicle stick he said he saw no spots!? I went back home and I see them - they're even more visually obvious now. Granted, if I "say ah" I don't see them as the tongue is in the way and they're not on the top of my mouth - they're in the fight-the-gag-reflex-when-you-shoot-your-load-in-my-throat part of the throat.
Oh, was that graphic?
He did give me a prescription for antibiotics if I don't get better on my own, but...I just want to run to a doctor to get a real diagnosis from someone who can actually see the damn symptom that I can see in a makeup mirror...and I'm not a doc! Yeesh.
Oh, look. Biology.
Maybe it's thrush. Maybe it's MRSA. Maybe it's a minor problem complicated by acute hypochondria.

"Doctor."

No, but for real, the doctor should've at least taken a swab. Did he take a swab to send for culture?
no subject
Yeah, was NOT feeling the confidence.
Got the impression he was more used to cash clients...

Maybe you just need to swallow?
I'll get my coat, no need to show me out...
no subject
heh...if you go see another doc about this, will you describe the location like this to the doc?
