Granny's gone and done it again

I saw her three years ago when my on referred me for high bp. She said "your bp isn't high and I'm not going to treat you for something that's fine." Today she said "well where have you been for three years?" So I reminded her of that statement.

My bp was high, and she wants me on meds. Thinking of wishing's dad I asked if we could wait a month, let me keep losing weight, check again. She said no.

We started talking about my feet. She said we never talked about foot pain three years ago, why was I bringing it up now? Said the bone scan had nothing to do with feet or fractures. But I remember them looking at my scans and asking if I was in pain, and I remember being told there were no fractures in my heels. I told her i was concerned there were fractures and she said it isn't possible. People don't walk around with fractures. I said "maybe fracture isn't the right word but SOMETHING is NOT RIGHT." She asked how many pills I take a day, I said none. She threw her hands in the air, said no way I could be in enough pain to think my feet are fractured and NOT be taking pills. Said she could refer me to a podiatrist, but all he would say is "lose weight and exercise."

Every time she said "weight" she looked at my gut. It was all just very mean. I can handle harsh truths and tough love, but this was nasty.
Excuse my french, but what a @sswipe. Nobody should be treated like that.
 
I've lost 18.5 lbs in the past six weeks and I told her that. She wasn't willing to hear it. But I'm sure she heard it all the time. I'm supposed to go back to her in two weeks.
Find someone else hun, you deserve better treatment than that. I finally have a good doctor, but I will tell you I had a bad one for a very long time. He & his PA almost caused me a nervous breakdown when I had some very serious health issues going on. They were determined I was mental. I will be saying extra prayers that you can find someone who will encourage your positive steps you are taking & support you instead of running you into the ground.
