Wow. I certainly would have felt bruised reading that. Ouch!
How very shallow and as you pointed out, inaccurate. Maybe anxiety? Being concerned over one's mental/physical health is absolutely different than deciding one has a terminal illness.
I'm thinking that it's such an blindspot. If someone is anxious, let's say, over psychological symptoms or mood issues or whatever, that these issues are expressed in our bodies as sensations to more or lesser extents. Anxiety isn't just thought habits. Our heads don't just sit
on top of our bodies. There can be endocrine issues. Or whatever. How long have I, in my case, just not felt *right*?Hoo-boy. Sorry MtDew.
How frustrating to even present to a doctor. Then again, how frustrating to be a caring doctor.
