Doctors = Not As Cool As They Look On TV

[earthbelow]

I have a doctor's appointment today at a clinic that Planned Parenthood referred me to. I'm dreading it so much that my stomach hurts. A lot.

I think it's weird that most people would prefer a doctor over a dentist. I'd rather go to the dentist every day of the week and three times on Sunday. Because dentists are not nearly as intimidating as doctors. I've had a number of very nice, professional dentists.

I can't say the same for doctors at all. I just can't stand how doctors act towards me and I can't stand how they make me feel and I hate how upset I get after I have to see one. There's nothing like feeling dehumanized and belittled to make your day.

Right now I'm trying to think positive and tell myself that I could find a really nice doctor who is helpful and respectful and does not at all treat me like dirt or look down on me or screw me over.

I hate feeling trapped like this, knowing that if this doctor chooses to be an asshole, I'm screwed because I don't know how else to get what I need in order to be *healthy*.

Just once, I wish I could put a doctor in that same position. Make them feel helpless and desperate, and then act like a complete bitch to them and deprive them of something they need. See how they like it.

I guess all I can do is hope for the best, brace for the worst.
