  Be the one who makes them change- file a formal complaint- Attny General etc. No way should any medical establishment have such a negative view from the general public. Sorry you are going through this 🙁

    @eclecticzebra THIS. It’s hard to think straight after this kind of crap happens, but you are right.

  It’s tough, @glockdeadgorgeous because everyone just deals with everything differently. I know the ‘fake it til you make it’ mindset works for some folks, but that just is not applicable to everyone. ESPECIALLY when it comes to chronic pain and illness. Hugs to you.
