I'm raging today. I thought the medical industry couldn't let me down any more than they have but they have managed to outdo themselves. People who read my posts may know that I've been having bladder issues for some time now. It flares up and down but basically it's like having cystitis all the time. I can't sleep at night, have to get up to wee constantly, and always feel like I need to go. I'm finally on the waiting list to see the urologist and have been prescribed several bladder calming meds, none of which have helped.

Well, I was at the GP today about my test results and I got chatting to a retired nurse who happened to be there and she told me that over-treatment with thyroxine (which I've been having for years to try and stop my cancer coming back) can have the side effect of an overactive bladder. The same issue I have been seeing doctors for for years, begging for help, is perhaps being caused by my damn cancer treatment and not a single doctor has ever even thought of this, maybe the ignorant twats don't even know this is a side effect. God, I hate this life! These fuckers told me this treatment has no side effects and already it has given me a stroke, heart issues, multiple food intolerances, perhaps an overactive bladder and a whole lot more.

Oh Russia, please nuke the UK to oblivion, I am sick of this shit!

EDIT: Now they've got the hospital lab to redo the test and say there IS an infection after all. But the doctor refused to listen to me about my allergies and prescribed me an antibiotic I'm allergic to. I'm so exhausted by how difficult it is to get medical treatment.

I think you mean you hate the 'profit-based medical industry'.

I hate them all, including each individual doctor personally.

What is the point of this? What are you doing here?

Because to me it looks like you're attacking a frustrated comrade over nothing. I'm sure DisabledAceSocialist has no issues with Cuban doctors, but those aren't the doctors being discussed here, now are they? No, DisabledAceSocialist is complaining about doctors on TERF Island and that is such a reasonable thing to do, holy shit!

Please don't be an asshole to a comrade like this. It's really rude and shitty.

Thank you. Yes I am clearly talking about all of the medical "professionals" in the UK.

That's why I wanted to know of the distinctions. Do they hate the doctors or the doctors who work for profit-based system?

On a vent thread? By a comrade who is going through hell, repeatedly, because of shitheel doctors?

Yeah, you're an asshole. Have some fucking compassion.
